believes to be right and sound judg-
nent to guide the American people in
the fu;tll.nent of their destiny the next
four years than Theodore Roosevelt.
We respectfully suggest TO the voters
of Nevada that Alton b. Parker is too
closely allied with the selfish corporate
and moneyed institutions of Wall street
and the lawless ad predatory monop-
ulistic trusts of the country TO quall1y
uim for the discharge of the duties Of
1he otfica for Which the Democratic
party OF the United States has selected
him, and that no language which we
eau frame more aptiy illustrates his dis
qualifications than that freely and pub
lcly employed by William j Bryan
and w. H. Hearst and Other leading
men conspicuously prominent in Demo.
cratic circles when the environments OF
the Democratic presidential nominee
were subject to free and untramneled
d iscussiOn.
National Irrigation.
We congratulate the people OF the
State OF Nevada upon the passage ol
the national irrigation law which will
ultimately reclaim the arid lands OF the
west and which will within Ii few
Years transform the desert wastes OF
Nevada iuto fruitful homesteads. We
assert that the attempt to usurp the
credit of this great act 70" one man is
travesty on fact and justice. TO the
thousa nds of western citizens who have
az tated this subject, to the western
senators and Congressman who for
twenty-five years have persistently
urged and fought for irrigation lcgis-
lation, and to the engineers who have
measured western streams and thread
OIL the mounta ms and deserts to learn
the possibilit .es 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 Tor the
crystal liz alton 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.
multaueously In the Senate and House
and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt IL
nally brought his great influence to
bear to secure its passage.
Isthimian Canal.
We rejoice in the requirement by the
United States of sufficient Isthimian
territory upon which to excavate, con.
struct and operate a commercial canal
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans entirely regulated and control
led by the government of the United
States and which will greatly promote
the Industrial development of all Sec
tions OF the Pacific Coast, and we es-
pecially regret that Senator Francis q.
Newlands so far forgot the substantial
interests of the State of Nevada as to
interpose his vote in the Senate OF the
United States against the ratification OF
the treaty between the United States
and the Republic of Panama In the
vain attempt to interdict the building
of the canal.
limited States SenatOrShip.
We congratulate the people of Neva-
da upon the awakening Of her prosper
i,y in field and mine, and that the hour
il struck which closes quarter OF
century o: State depression. That the
dawn has begun of new era wherein
this common wealth is destined to take
aigh rank in agriculture, the industries
a, d mining. New leaders are called
for to represent in Congress this new
suirit of State development. For the
Senate of the United States the Re
publican party presents the name OF
George s. Nixon, as an able, true ana
loyal citizen worthy OF such choice,
familiar with and interested in the var
led industries of our State and who is
the first candidate for that supreme
osice presented by Nevada conven-
ton ia the past twenty years. who Is
bone Ode resident and citizen of Neva-
da, and pledges the efforts OF the Re
publican party to use all honorable
means and the votes of its members in
the State Legislature to secure bis
election.
Capital and Labor.
We submit the labor record OF the
Republican party against the profess
ions of Democracy. Republicanism has
built up tariff wall about this country
