State Republican Platform

At the republican state convention
yesterday a preliminary platform was
adopted. II contains many salient fea-
lures which will commend it to all
thinking and loyal Nevadans.
In the convention there were abso-
lutely no contests and everything
passed off smoothly and harmoniously.
Every delegate was confident of the
success of the party at the polls this
fall and those f ON the east brought
n cheering word from that section.
Such far-away counties as White Pine
sent in full delegations. and of the 15S
delegates to the convention, less than
twenty-five were represented by prox-
ies-a most remarkable showing. The
platform which the republican party
of Nevada stands uaon at this time is
as follows:
The republicans of Nevada unitedly
urge the nomination of Thec dore
Roosevelt for president of the United
States and pledge their unqualified
support to secure his election to that
exalted office.
We cordially and fraternally extend
the hand of good fellowship to our
citizens who have hitherto opposed
the policies of the republican party
but who have now concluded that the
general welfare of the people and the
development of our state will be best
subserved and stimulated by an en-
| phatic endorsement of the present ma
tional administration.
We record our appreciation of the fl
deity with which President Roosevelt
/ has eoui ageously observed all of the
pledges made to the American people
by his well-beloved predecessor in Of
fee, William Mckinley, of spotless life
and imperishable grandeur of memory
We view with national pride the
sturdy American manhood exhibited to
the world by President Roosevelt In
promptly and effectively asserting the
rights of the United States to sufficient
.sthmian territory upon which to ex-
cavate and to operate a ship canal
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. open to the commerce of the
world subordinate to the regulation

we denounce the vote of Senator Fran
els c.. Newlands In the senate of the
United States against the ratification
of the treaty between the United
States and the republic of Panama as
being a gross misrepresentation of the
views of an overwhelming majority of
the voters of all political parties in
Nevada
We keenly appreciate the fact that
The conservation of the waters of this
state and their economic application
to our arid lands is of momentous inn
portance TO our Industrial development

sincere thanks to every one. regardless

be but simple justice to accredit the
present president of the United States
with having been the most power full
ard forceful factor therein.
We commend the vigorous and sue
cessful efforts of the present republic
can national administration to limit
the operations of trust syndicates to a
course of conduct compatible with the
general prosperity of the people and
we especially regret that its action in
so doing has failed to meet the ap-
proval of any democratic member OF
the supreme court of the United States.
We favor such carefully considered
and equitably adjusted national leg
islation as will stimulate the construc-
ton OF an American merchant marine
sufficient to meet all OF the require
ments OF American commerce.-Car-
