PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Nevada in State Con-
vertion assembled reafhrms its adherence to the
principles of Republicanism expressed in the
national platform and wrought into the govern
ment of the nation from Abraham Lincoln to
Theodore Roosevelt. The history of republican
ism is the party's mghtiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees of the national convention, we af-
firm that man in public or private life in this
country is more fitted in honesty, daring, uncom-
promising independence steadfast in what he
believes to be right and sound judgment to guide
the American people in the fulhllment of their
destiny the next four years than Theodore Roose-
welt, the statesman in peace. the hero in war the
westerner always, and the Republican nominee
for President of the United States.
We respectfully suggest to the voters of Neva-
da that Alton Brooks Parker is too closely allied
with the selfish corporate and monied institutions
of Wall street and the lawless and predatory mo-
nopolistic trusts of the country to qualify him 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 aptly illustrates his disqualihcations
than that freely and publicly employed by W. ].
Bryan, w X. Hearst and other leading men con-
spicuously prominent in the environment of the
Democratic presidential nominee were subject to
free and untrammeled discussion.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

We congratulate the people of the State of Ne
vada upon the passage of the national irrigation
law which will ultimately reclaim the arid lands
of the West, and which will within few years
transform the desert wastes of Nevada into fruit
full homesteads. We assert that the attempt to
steal the credit of this great act for one man is
travesty on fact and justice. To thousands of
western citizens who have agitated this subject
to the western Senators and Congressman who
for twenty years have persistently urged and
fought for irrigation legislation and to the engi-
neers who have measured the western streams
which thread 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
ringing and insistent recommendation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that Congress consider this sub
ject was responsible for the crystalization of all
theories and plans into the bill known as the
National Irrigation Law, which was framed and
agreed to by all western Senators and Congress
men, 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

RULES GOVERNING ENTRY.
How Land IN New Irrigation District May
be Obtained $3.50 Per Acre for Water.

Several important matters re-
lating to the TruckeeCarson irri-
cation project have recently been
determined, or practically so. 1t
is expected that the contractors for
the main laterals to be built this
season will begin work within the
next thirty days, and that water
will be available for about 10000
acres by April of next year.
The subdivision of public lands
into farm tracts, which includes all
lands entered since July I, 1902,
has been approved and the plans
will shortly be placed on file in
the Land Office in Carson City.
Anyone interested can inspect the
plats either at Mr. Taylor's Office,
in Reno, or at the Office of District
Engineer Russell, at Fallon. Only
the land to be irrigated next year
has been sub-divided.
There are a few of such farm
tracts in Township 10 N, Range
20 E., and Township IS N, Range
28 E., but most of the land is in
Township IS n, Range 20 E., and
Township 10 N, Range 2S E.
Some public land in Township Ie
N, Range 27 E. will be watered
next Spring, but the plats for that
Township have not yet been re-
ceived.
The farm tracts range in area
from so acres to 100, but a large
majority are of SO acres. 1t will
be advisable for present entrymen
to select their tracts and make
their filings correspond to the sub
division as soon as possible after
the plats are officially recorded in
the Land Office, for entries in ex-
cess of the subdivision will be
subject to contest.
The consulting Board of Engi-
neers has fixed the cost of water
right at S25 per acre, the govern
ment to assume the expense OF
maintaining and operating the sys-

UNITED STATES sENAToRsHIP.

We congratulate the people of Nevada upon the
awakening of her prosperity in field and mine,
and that the hour is struck which closes quar-
ter of a century of State depression. That the
dawn has begun o. new wherein this COM
monwealth is destined to take high rank in agri-
culture, 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, fa-
miliar with and interested in the varied indus
tries of our State, and who is the first candidate
for that supreme Office presented by Nevada
convention in the past twenty years who is bona
fide resident and citizen of Nevada, and pledges
the efforts of the Republican party to use all hon
orable means and the votes of its members i'll
the State Legislature, to secure his election.

ISTHMlAN CANAL.

We rejoice in the requirement by the United
States of sufficient sthmian territory upon which
to excavate, construct and operate commercial
canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans en-
trely regulated and controlled by the govern
ment of the United States and which will greatly
promote the industrial development of all sec
tons of the Pacific Coast, and we especially re-
gret that Senator Francis G. Newlands so far for
got the substantial interests of the State of Neva-
da 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
Panama in a vain attempt to interdict the build
ing of such canal

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

We submit the labor record of the Republican
party against the professions of Democracy. Re
publicanism 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 FOR labor,
prohibited child labor, and passed stringent laws
for the safeguarding of the life and limb of em-
ployes. 1t has, under Theodore Roosevelt, as in
the coal strike, substituted arbitration for the
bullet and bayonet of the last Democratic admin
istration in its settlemInt of the Pullman strike.
Promising little, performing much It has been
the true and tried friend of both capital and la
Dor whom il holds as equal and concordant parts
of the nations industrial economy. The Repub-
lican party will not support capital in oppression
nor labor In violence. 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity of industrial action striving to
secure more equitable distribution of the fruits

INVITATION TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Recognizing the fact that many of the most pat
riotic and progressive citizens of the State OF
Nevada have for several years past cast their bals
lots against the Republican ticket because of their
disbelief in the financial views of the national
Republican party, although being in accord with
it upon all other principles of party policy, we
now, in view of the fact that there is no issue be-
tween the national parties upon the subject Of
finance cordially invite all such fellow citizens to
renew their political fellowship with us and to
share with us in the glores of our certain victory
at the coming general election.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-08-27

Of industry 1t is the trusted ally of both capital
and labor for capital in the things which are
essential to the successful government of enter
prses and with labor in its crusade for reasonable
hours at the highest wages consistent with the
successful conduct of business. In this State it
favors eight hours labor upon all public works
and as the legal work day in mines, quartz mills
and smelters and will uphold legislation giving it
proper and equitable force and effect.

STATE INSTITUTIONS.

We favor the economic conduct of the State
government, the generous treatment of the or
p1an wards of the State and the humane care OF
the insane. We are justly proud of our public
school system and the State University and will
favor all reasonable propositions calculated to i'm
prove their efficiency and usefulness.

are very lucky and their escape from
death is miraculous. '.'

JUDSON ON MEAD.

Speaking at Chewelah Friday night,
Mr.. Judson the railroad commission
nominee for lieutenant governor, while
giving Mr.. Mead credit for being "a good
fellow" reminded his hearers that the
state did not want "good fellows" in
public positions. GOOD fellows" he
said, were swayed by every wind that
blew; they had no backbone, and could
not resist the opportunities OF friends or
u people desiring to use them.
There is a great deal Of plain. sound
philosophy in these remarks Of the ven.

is rare exception when they do not get
