at this time is as follows:
The Republicans of Nevada unitedly
urge the nomination of Theodore
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 coursgeously observed all of the
pledges made to the American people
by his well-beloved predecessor in Of
fee, William Mckinley, of spotlsss life
and imperishable grandeur of memory.
We view with national pride tie
sturdy American manhood exhibited to
the world by President Roosevelt in
promptly and effectively asserting the
rights of the United States to sufficient
isthmian territory upon which to ex-
cavate and to operate q ship canal
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, open to tho commerce of the
world subordinate to the regulation
and control of the United States, and
we denounce the vote of Senator Fran.
els G. Newlanas in the Senate OF the
United States against the ratification
of the treaty between the United
States and the Republic Of Panama as
being gross Misrepresentation of the
views of an overwhelming majority of
the voters of all political parties in
Nevada.
We keenly appreciate the fact that

State and their economic application
