TENDER A, 1906:
The Republican party of Nevada, il
state convention assembled, submits
the glorious history of party achiev'
ment of the administration of Theo
dore Roosevelt as marking the highest
success of American government. Fro
a debtor nation-the heritage left by
the last Democratic administration
the United Staes in q decade of Re
publican control, has passed to frs
place among the creditor nations of .he
earth. The music of prolific industry
fills the air. The wage-earne- walks
the earth now as one to be reconed
with in the division of prosperity. Jus
tice has smItteD the highest, as well al
the meanest offender. Graft has beer
purged from the conduct Of public aas
fairs. Laws of supreme moment te
mankind have been passed. The Pan
anna canal has been made possible
The arid west will be reclaimed BY
government aid. The trusts have beer
curbed by stringent laws. the rail
roads shorn of discriminating abuses
Above - there has peer infused into
the conduct Of public affairs a new
standard of civic probity, the exem
plar of witch is Roosevelt. These arr
the signa results OF a decade of Re
publican ism, which we submit to the
voters of Nevada with confidence at
70 their answer at the polls.
STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins
t~rative success of the Republican party
in national affairs and the humiliatine
history of Democratic ineficiency Il
Nevada calls for u change in the po-
itical control Of the state. With Off
Gals habitually absent from the cap
itol, the executive departments of tn,
state in Democratic hands are con
Quoted wnh only ~haplazard regard I,
the public bust less. Such absenteeism
10 notorious, and coupled with thu
complete non-atter dance of the Demo
cratac member OF congress from his
duties In Washington, condemns thai
party as unworthy the further trus,
Of the people. We are entering upon
a golden era of development and tn.
ascsssisy 10 urgent 10 vest the powers
Of state into competent hands. We
pledge each and every nominee of this
convention lor any office to at all times
when not justiiiably excused therefrom
remain at his post oil duty, ready anu
prepared to cheerfuliy perform all pub
lie services required OF HIM by law oi
by q proper regard for the convenient
dispatch OF official duties.
CONDENSATION.
We indorse and commend the course
OF Honorable George s. Nixon in the
senate OF the United States upon the
great public questions before this con
gress. Ills strong support of Roose-
veit and his vote upon the railroad an
ti-rebate law and other measures vital
to the welfare OF the people, together
with his business-like attention to the
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 Nevada
il a treasury of fottune belonging to
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be given
the mining industry that may be ac-
complished by legislation. We favor
the passage of a law extending the
right of eminent domain for mininl
purposes to apply to locations mad,
upon unfenc,d and un.mproved lands
held in private ownership, the minerals
within which are reserved by the gov
eminent, that purchase may be made
OF tn, surface thereof by a locator
aft, r proper appraisement; and We con-
denim the vetoing of such a law three
ears since by q Democratic gov
ernor of Nevada after it's passage by an
overwhelming vote of the legislature.
We favor conservative legislation tend
ing to reduce the abuses of an excess
siye number of locations by one or
more common locators, and favor q ie-
duction in the time permitted for the
marking Of Doudaries as tending to
prevent confusion of title and litiga-
tion.
We further favor the passage of q
law to render the officers and pro-
motors of stock companies liable for
tie reasonable correctness of advcr-
