the ringing and insistent recommended
ton Of Theodore Roosevelt that congress
consider this subject was responsible for
the crystalization OF all theories and

IST!IMIAN CANAL.
We rejoice in the requirement by the
United States OF sufficient Ia.E.aian ter
titory upon which to e~xcavate. construct
and operate ID commercial canal between
the Atlantic and the Pacirc oceans en-
tirely regulated and controlled by the
government Of the United States and
which viii greatly promote the Industrial
development of all sections Of the Pacific
coast. and we especially regret that Sen
ator 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 Pan
anna in the vain attempt to inter6ict tn,
building of he canal.

We congratulate the people Of Nevada
upon the awakening Of her prosperity in

struck which closes a quarter of a Gen.
fury of state depression. That the dawn

commonwealth is destined to take high
rank in agriculture. the industries and
mining. New leaders are called for to
represent in congress this new spirit NJ
state development. For the senate o. the
United States the Republican parry pre-
sents the name of George 8. Nixon. as
an able. true and loyal citizen worthy Of
such choice. familiar with and interested
in the varied industries of our state and

publican party against the professions OF
Democracy. Republicanfsm has built Up

guarding of the life and limb of en-
ployes. 1t has under Theodore Roose-
welt substituted arbitration. as In the

settlement of the Pullman strike. Prom,

he true and tried friend Of both capital
nd labor. whom 1t holds as equal and
concordant parts of the nations indus
trial economy. The Republican party
will not support capital in oppression noi
labor in violence. 1t recognizes orAanized
