The Republican party of Nevada, il
state convention assembled, submits
The glorious history of party achieve
ment of the administration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as marking the highest
success of American government. From
a debtor nation-the heritage left by
the last Democratic administration
the United Staes in a decade of Re
publican control, has passed to frs
place among the creditor nations of the
earth. The music of prolific industry
lis the air. The wage-carner walks
he Garth now as one to be recone6
With in the division of prosperity. JUS
ice has smItten the highest, as well d;
the meanest offender. Graft has beeI
burged from the conduct of public aa
lairs. Laws of supreme moment to
mankind have been passed. The Pan
anna canal has been made possible
The arid west viii be reclaimed by
government aid. The trusts have beel
curbed by stringent laws; the rail-
roads shorn of discriminating abuses
Above all there has been infused int
the conduct of public affairs a new
standard Of civic probity, the exem
plar of which is Roosevelt. These ar

STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins
trative success of the Republican party
in national affairs and the humiliatine
history of Democratic ineficiency Il
Nevada calls for a change in the pc
litieal control of the state. With off
Gals habitually absent from the cap
itol, the executive departments of the
state in Democratic hands are con
Quoted with only %haphazard regard tc
the public business. Such absenteeism
is notorious, and coupled with the
complete non-attendanee of the Demo
cratic member of congress from his
duties in Washington, condemns that
party as unworthy the further trust
of the people. We are entering upol
a golden era of development and the
necessity is urgent to vest the powers
of state into competent hands. We
pledge each and every nominee of this
convention for any office to at all times
when not justihably excused therefron
remain at his post OF duty, ready ano
prepared to ch%eerfully perform all pub
lie services required of HIM by law Oh
by a proper regard for the convenient
d spatch Of official duties.
COMMENTATOR.
We indorse and commend the cours,
of Honorable George S. Nixon in thu
senate of the United States upon tn,
great public questions before this con
gress. His strong support of Roose
welt and his vote upon the railroad an
ti-rebate law and other measures vita
to the welfare of the people, togethe
with his business-like attention to tn
interests of Nevada is a source of sat
isfaction to his party and congratula
tion to his state.
MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevad
is a treasury of fottune belonging t
rich and poor alike. Every protectio
and encouragement should be give
the mining industry that may be ac
complished by legislation. We favo
the passage of a law extending th
right of eminent domain for mimi
purposes to apply to locations mad
upon unfenctd and un%improved land
held in private ownership, the mineral
within which are reserved by the go,
eminent, that purchase may be mad
of the surface thereof by a locate
aft r proper appraisement; and we coi
denim the v~etoirg of such a law thre
years since by a Democratic COY
ernor of Nevada after it's passage by a
overwhelming vote of the Legislature
We favor conservative legislation ten'
ing to reduce the abuses of an exec
sive number of locations by one {
more common ~locators, and favor a u
duction in the time permitted for tn
marking of ooudaries as tending I
prc vent confusion of title and litig'
tion.
We further favor the passage OF
law to render the officers and pr
motors of stock companies liable fl
the reasonable correctness of advc
Using statements and prospectus
designed to induce the public to pu
chase shares.
