IL ever there was a boss convention,
dominated by boss methods, that con-
vention was the Republican conven-
ton that met at Las Vegas by boss
call and executed the mandates of a
brainy boss through the action of an
absentee representation.
OF all the nonsensical things called
a convention of party, expressive OF
party voters desires, this convention
beats them all With method and de-
cision the boss executed his purpose,
with the result of obedient servants to
the boss to go before the people for
their appreciation. But The Times
mistakes the spirit of the Nevada
mountaineers IL at the polls they will
not turn down the boss and those
struggled candidates who were NOM
mated by absentee votes through the
proxy system Let 1t be said for the
untrammeled Republicans who were in
the convention that they made a good
fight for non-string-tied candidates, but
the boss, with his control of proxies,
bested them and gave the Republicans
nominees who are the sole possession
of the boss, and who no doubt will be
controlled -iH-talf affairs by the boss.
You boys who made such a valiant
fight for clean, independent, manly
candidates. how do you like it? Will
you take the medicine or will you be
men with true American ideas and re-
pudiate at the polls this infamous boss
domination and attempted boss control
of Lincoln county? And then, you
know. If this pocket edition will pre-
vail you will have two years more of
Murphy. How do you like it? At the
primaries you declared by a to l
vote you did not want it, yet the boss.

but the boss, with his proxies distrib-

them in every contest by this unfair
boss method of riding rough shod;
though apparently kindly and easy
looking boss. but the most dangerous
boss that can be put in control, for uIl-
der that innocent, suaye-looking coun-
tenance turks an influence and brain
power that will make subservient all
interests of public nature to the
clique and ring that is an absolute pos

this boss dose and be like sheep in

of boss plugging against which the
people all over the United States are
rebelling at this time?
The membership OF the convention
present had honest purposes, but the
boss with his absentees proxies
said no, and as consequence all that
was done had boss label. and the
label is boss, nothing but boss. boss
all the time.
