Short Term:
HON. II. F. STARRETT,
OF Elko County.
T.e Republican party Of Nevada in
otata Convention ssembled reaffirms
i,s adherence to the principles Of Re-
nwblicanism as expressed In the nation
al nIatform and wrought into the gov
srnment OF the nation from Abraham
lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt. The
n;story of Republicanism Is the party's
m;oStiest platform Endorsing the
nominees of the national convention,
VA affirm that no man in public or pri-
yate life in this country is more fitted
in honesty, daring, incorporating
independence, steadfastness In what he
believes to be right and sound judy
meut to guide the American people In
the fulfllment of their destiny the nex

We respectfully suggest to the voters
Of Nevada that Alton B. Parker 10 too

olistic trusts of the country to qualify
MIN for the discharge 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 dis
qualifications than that freely and pub

and w. r. Hearst and other leading
men conspicuously prominent In Demo.
cratic circles when the environments OF
the Democratic presidential nominee
we're subject to free and untrammeled
discussion.
National Irrigation.
We congratulate the people of the
State of Nevada upon the passage OF
the national irrigation law which will
ultimately reclaim the arid lands of the
west, and which will within q few
years transform the desert wastes OF
Nevada into 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
thousands of western citizens who have
sgitated this subject, to the western
Senator'S and Congressman who for
twenty-five years have persistently
urged and fought for irrigation legis-
lation, and to the engineers who have
measured western streams and thread
cd the mOunta ms and deserts to learn
the possibilities Of storage and recla-
nation We give due and generous credit
and the fullness of gratitude. But
above all we declare that the ringing
and insistent recommendation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that Congress consider
this subject was responsible for the
crystallizxtion 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.
multaneously in the Senate and House
and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt f.
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 e~xcavate, 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 IS
pecially regret that Senator Francis G.
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 ti1catl oil
tho treaty between the United States
and the Republic Of Panama IN the
vain attempt to interdict the building
Of the canal.
United States 8enatorship.
We congratulate the people of Neva-
d. upon the awakening of her prosper
ity in field and mine, and that the hour
ia struck which closes a quarter OF a
century o: State depression, That the
dawn has begun OF q new era wherein
this common wealth 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 Re.
publican party presents the name OF
George S. Nixon, as an able, true and
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
once presented by q Nevada conven-
ton In the past twenty years, who Is a
bone ide resident and citizen of Neva-
da, and pledges the efforts OF the ne
publican party to use all honorable
means and the votes of its members IN
the State Legislature to secure his
election.
Capital and Labor.
We submit the labor record Of the
Republican party against the profess
ions Of Democracy. Republicanism has
built up a tariff wall about this country
which gives the American markets to
the products of American labor. IL has
