OF Elko County.
The Republican party of Nevada in
State Convention assembled reaffirms
its AZ adherence to the principles of Re-
M hlicanism as expressed in the nation
al nlatform and wrought into the gov
ernment of the nation from Abraham
Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt. The
history of Republicanism is the party's
miphtiest platform : Endorsing tho
nominees of the national con vention,
we affirm that nc man in public Or pri-
yate life in this country is more fitted
in honesty, daring, uncompromising
independence, steadfastness in what he
believes to be right and sound judg-
ment to guide the American people in
the fulfllment of their destiny the next
four years than Theodore Roosevelt.
We respectfully suggest to the voters
of Nevada that Alton 3. Parker is too
closely allied with the selfish corporate
and moneved institutions of Wall street
and the lawless add predatory monop-
olistic trusts of the country to qualify
MIN for tho discharge of the duties OF
the office for which the Democratic
party of the United States has selected
him, and that no language which we
can frame more aptly illustrates his dis
qualifications than that freely and pub
licly employed by William ] Bryan
and w. X. Hearst and other leading
men c~onspicuously prominent in Demo-
cratic circles when the environments OF
the Democratic presidential nominee
were subject to free and untrammeled
discussion.
National Irrigation.
We congratulate the people OF the
State of Nevada upon The passage OF
the national irrigation law which will
ultimately reclaim the arid lands of the
west, and which will within IA few
years transform the desert wastes OF
Nevada into fruitful homesteads. We
assert hat the attempt to usurp the
credit OF this great act 70" one man is
~travesty on fact and justice. To the
thousands of western ciJizens who have
agitated this subject, to the western
Senators and Congressman who for
twenty-five years have. persistently
urged and fought for irrigation legis-
latiOn, and to the engineers who have
measured western streams and thread
ed the mountain and deserts to learn
the possibilities of storage and recla-
nation we give due and generous credit
and the fullness of our gratitude. But
above all we declare that the ringing
and insistent recommendation Of Theo-
dOre Roosevelt that Congress consider
this subject was responsible for tho
disqualification of all theories and plans
into the bill known as the National IT.
rigation Law, which was framed and
agreed to by all the western Senators
and Congressman, and introduced ST.
simultaneously In the Senate and House
and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt ii.
nally brought his great influence TO
bear to secure its passage.
lsthimian Canal.
We rejoice in the requirement by the
United States of sufficient 1sthimian
territory upon which to e~xcavate, con.
struct and operate a commercial canal
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
ceans entirely regulated and control
led by the government Ofthe United
States and which will greatly promote
the Industrial development of all Soc
tions OF the Pacific Coast, and we es-
pecially regret that Senator Francis G.
Newlands SO far forgot the substantial
interests OF the State of Nevada as to
interp6se his vote in the Senate Of the
United States against the ratification OF
the treaty between the United States
and che Republic of Panama in the
vain attempt to iDtcrdict the building
of the canal.
United States Senatorship.
We congratulate the people of Neya-
da upon the awakening. of her prosper
ity in field and mine, and that the hour
is struck which closes a quarter of a
century o. State depression, That The
dawn has begun Of a new era wherein
this common wealth is destined TO take
high rank in agriculture, the industries
and mining. New leaders are called
for to represent 10 Congress. this new
spirit OF State development. For the
Senate OF the United States the lie.

Capital and Labor.
We submit the labor record Of the

ions of Democracy. Republicanism has
built up IL tariff wall about this country
