STATE CONVENTION dSSC mbled, SuDmlts
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 first
place among the creditor nations of the
earth. The music of prolific industry
Ills the air. The wage-earner walks
the earth now as one to be reeoned
with in the division of prosperity. JUS
tice has smitten the highest, as well at
the meanest offender. Graft has beer
purgod from the conduct of public aas
fairs. Laws of supreme moment to
mankind have been passed. The Pan
anna canal has been made possible
The arid west will be reclaimed by
government aid, The trusts have beef
eurbed by stringent laws; the raj
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
the signal results of a decade of Re
publican ism, which we submit to the
voters of Nevada with confidence al
to their answer at the polls.

COMMENTATOR.
We indorse and commend the course
of Honorable George S. Nixon in the
senate of the United States upon The
great public utstiens 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, together
with his business-liko attention to the
interests of Nevada is a source of sat
isfaction to his party and congratula
ton to his state.
MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevada
is a treasury of fottune belonging to
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be giver

the passage of a law extending the
right of eminent domain for MINING.

We favor conservative legis' alton tend
