I'VE Democrats OF Nevada could
claim with equal gusto that Nevada's
prosperity was due to the fact that
John Sparks was governor when the
great new mineral discoveries of this
commonwealth were made and which
brought to our borders a thrifty,
hearty and patriotic class Of miners

dore Roosevelt or the Republican
party"
1t was along such lines that he ex-
posed the dishonest claims and pre-
tense and subterfuge of Republican
claims.
He did not hesitate to compliment
Roosevelt, who Is more of a Democrat
than a Republican. upon his absorp-
ton of Democratic ideas In the exer-
else of his executive duties. 1t took
four months to whip enough Republi-
cans into line to pass the railroad bill.
All the Democrats in the senate sup
ported Roosevelt and a majority OF
the Republican senators opposed. In
such manner he exposed with remorse-

Republicans. In a broad, comprehen-

own campaign for congress is, I insist

he asserted: Upon information fur

will travel the state of Nevada and
prosecute the culprits and scoundrels
to the end that they will be lashed to
their dungeon, and when greeted in
stripes that ever convey they are un-
safe to be abroad. II such things are
