Some of the Democratic sheets are
making frantic efforts to have it appear
that James A. Yerington is responsible
for what may result in the closing Of
the Nevada exhibit at the ST. Louis
Exposition. but the circumstances do
not bear out the charges which are
being made. simply because Mr.. Yer
ington has accepted the nomination
for Congressman on the Republican
ticket. In the first place MIR. Yering-
ton is the minority member of the
Board at ST. Louis, he being a Repub-
lican, Mr.. Hardin a Democrat and

that the money vas invested to good

United States Senatorship.

We congratulate the people of Me-
vada upon the awakening of her pros
perity in field and mine, and that the
hour is struck which closes a quarter
of a century Of State depression. That
the dawn has begun Of a new era
wherein this 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 Of State development.
For the Senate of the United States
the Republican party presents the
name Of Hon. George S. Nixon, as an
able, true and loyal citizen worthy Of
such choice, familiar with and inter-
ested in the varied industries of our
State, and who is the first candidate
for the supreme office presented by a
Nevada convention in the past twenty
years who isa bona fide resident and
citizen Of Nevada, and pledges the
efforts Of the Republican party to use
all honorable means. and the votes Of
its members in the State Legislature

VIII Start
a New Plant.

The Western Ore Purchasing Com
pany has finally announced that it in
tends to build a big sampling plant at
Mound House. 1t will cost $4,000,
and will be much larger than their plant
at Reno. The new branch will not af-
feet the Reno plant, however. which
will still be run at full capacity. Work
has begun on the buildings at Mound
House.
1t is expected that with the new
plant there will be greater developments
at Tonopah and Goldfield on account
Of the greater ease in reducing ores.
The Reno plant has been over-worked
for a long time, having in the past sc
days reduced over $500. 900. two-thirds
Of which has come from Tonopah.

twenty-five years have persistently
urged and fought for irrigation leglsla-
lion, and TO the engineers who have
measured Western streams and
threaded the mountains and deserts to
learn the possibilities of storage and
reclamation we give due and generous
credit and the fullness of our gratitude.
But above all we declare that the ring
ing and insistent recommendation oil
Theodore Roosevelt that Congress
consider this subjuct was responsible
for the cristalization Of all theories and
plans into the bills known as the Ma
tlonal Irrigation Law, which was franz
ed and agreed to by all western Sena-
tors and Congressman and introduced
simultaneously in the Senate and House
and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt
finally brought his great influence to
bear to secure its passage.
We rejoice In the requirement by the
United States Of sufficient Istbmian
territory upon which to excavate, con-
struct and operate a commercial canal
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans entirely regulated and controll-
ed 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
G. Newlands so far forgot the substan-
tial interests Of the State of Nevada as
to interpose his vote in the Senate Of
the United States against the ratifica-
ton of the treaty between the United
States and the Republic Of Panama in
a vain attempt to interdict the building
of such canal.

Capital and Labor.

We submit the labor record Of the
Republican party against the profess
sions Of Democracy. Republicanism
has built up a tariff wall about this
country which gives the American
markets to the products Of American
labor. 1t has in every State where in
power enacted legislation favoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions
Of labor, prohibited child labor, and
passed stringent laws for the safe
guarding Of the life and limb of en-
ployees. 1t has under Theodore
Roosevelt substituted arbitration, as in
the coal strike, for the bullet and bayo-
net Of the last Democratic admins
tration in its settlement Of the Pull
mar strike. Promising little, perform
ing much, It has been the true and
tried friend Of both capital and labor,
whom it holds as equal and c~oncordant
parts of the nations industrial econo-
my. The Republican party will not
support capital In oppression nor labor
in violence, 1t recognizes organized
labor a. the unity Of industrial action,
striving to secure a more equitable dis
tribution of the fruits OF industry. 1t
Is the trusted ally Of both capital and
labor; for capital In the things which
are essential to the successful govern
ment Of enterprises and with labor in
its crusade for reasonable hours at the
highest wages CONSTANT with the sue
cessful conduct of business. II this
State it favors eight hours labor on all
public works and as the legal work day
In mines, quartz mills and smelters.
and will uphold legislation giving 1t
proper and equitable force and effect.
State Institutions.
We favor the economical conduct Of
the State government, the generous
treatment Of the orphan wards of the
State, and the humane care of the in
sane. We are justly proud OIL the pub
lie school system Of Nevada and the

PLATFORM:

The Republican party Of Nevada in
State Convention assembled reaffirms
its adherence to the principles of Re-
p%ublicanism as expressed in the ma
tional platform and wrought into the
government of the nation from Abra-
ham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt.
The history of Republicanism is the
party's mightiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees Of the national conven-
ton, we affirm that no man in public
or private life in this country is more
fitted in honesty, daring, uncompro-
missing independence, steadfastness in
what he believes to be right and sound
judgement to guide the American peo-
Pile in the fulfillment of their destiny
the next four years than Theodore
Roosevelt, the stateman In peace. the
hero in war, the westerner always,
and the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent Of the United States.
We respectfully suggest TO the vot-
ers Of Nevada that Alton Brooks Par
ker Is too closely allied with the self
fish corporate and moneyed lnstuti-
tons Of Wall street and the lawless
and predatory monopolistic trusts of
the country qualify him for the dis
charge 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 Disqualified
tons than that freely and publically
employed by William J. Bryan. w. r.
Hearst and other leading men conspi-
cuously prominent in the environment
Of the Democratic Presidential nomi-
e were subject to free and untram-
meled dicussion.

SENATOBIA, MISSISSIPPI, May 20.
FRIEND MUNSON; This little city is
the county seat of Tate county. 1t is a
beautiful city of enterprising business
men and women. All seem to be busy
catsring to the people of the town and
surrounding country. The stores are
up-to.date, large. well filled in every de-
partment and proprietors and clerks
seem to be joyous and happy, courteous
and pleasant TO strangers and willing TO
get acquainted with northern people and
hear their big yarns of the north. As
progressed with my story the people
1ocked around and seemed TO be much
interested in hearing about the northern
billiards, driving over stake-rider fen
ces and huge hanks of snow One man
by the name of Weight-well named,
for he weighed four hundred pounds
was travelling man whom had seen

Mr. Weight. you seem to think that is
big -ory. No" he said, 'b1t it
sound Dig to us southern people who
never saw such things. 'rhe local e6j-
tor was standing by taking it all in and
when his paper came out there was a
splendid piece taken from the lips of a
northern man.
/ took stroll around the city and
saw the sights, first coming to the beau
tiful court house, Jail and their fine sur
roundings. There are beautiful up-to-
date dwelling houses some completed
and others nearing completion. Some
of the houses are out of date, having
been built before the war. | came to
the beautiful electric light plant, the
young ladies high school building, a lit
tie on the old fashion; the young mems
new brick college building, a magnifi-
cent structure Vending my way along
different streets ! took in the nice fami-
ly of evergreens, grasses, flowers, gar
dens, apples, pears, peaches, trees and
| this fruit makes we wish 1t were ripe SO
| could pick it from the trees There
are beautiful churches of different class
es with their steeples s,rsaching s, up to

| ing collars seeming to say, Come to

by yoJ.r pastor, Sunday after Sunday,
and hear the beautiful singing of the
choir "
After dinner at Mr.. Hams Miss Ham
took her horses and carriage and drove
me around the outskirts of the city and
| some parts of the country. Took in the
cotton plantations TO see the negroes at
tend, hoe and plow their cotton with a
rope harness, rope lines and little
jumping shovel plow which is curl
osity. They plow only about half OF
the ground-just enough to make q
ridge to drill their cotton in and they
| make these rows in circle as it will

bread and green dandelions. Each one
takes a loaf of bread and pours some
water over it in order to soak up the
crust little and sits and eats it off
like monkey They pull Gandelions
along the section and bring them at
night to eat with their bread-never
wash them, just knock the dirt off. As
