The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1906-10-08

The Republican party of Nevada, i
state convention assembled, submits
he glorious history of party achieve.
nent 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
lis the air. The wage-earner walks
the earth now as one to be recone6
with IN the division of prosperity. Jus
ice has smltten the highest, as well at
tbs meanest offender. Graft has beer
purgcd from the conduct of public aal
fairs. Laws of supreme momen to
mankind have been passed. The Pan.
anna canal has been made possible
The arid west viii be reclaimed by
governm.n nj aid. The trusts have beeI
curbed by stringent laws; the rail
roads shorn of discriminating abuses.
Above all there has been infused into
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 az
10 their answer at the polls.
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
litical 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 with only %haphazard regard to
the public business. Such absenteeism
is notorious, and coupled with the
complete non-attendance of the Demo
cratic member of congress from his
duties in Washington, condemns that
party as unworthy the further trus,
of the people. We are entering upoi
q golden era Of development and ne
necessity is argent 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 justifably excused therefror
remain at his post OF duty, ready and
prepared to cheerfully perform all pub
lie services required of him by law or
by a proper regard for the convenien,
d spatch of official duties.
COMMENTATOR.
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 %
gress. His strong support of Roose
vet and his vote upon the railroad an
ti-rebate law and other measures vita
to the wei are 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
ton to his state.
MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevad;
is a treasury of fottune belonging t,
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be givel
the mining industry that may be &C
complished by legislation. We favol
he passage of a law extending rh'
right of eminent domain for MINING
purposes TO apply to locations made
upon unfenc, d and unimproved land
held in private ownership, the mineral!
within which arc reserved by the gov
Tm-rt that purchase may be made
of TIN sur ace thereof by a locate,
aft r proper appraisement; and we con
denim the votoirg of such a law three
years since by a Democratic gov
ernor of Nevada after it's passage by al
Overwhelming vote of the Legislature
We favor conservative legis alton tend
ing to reduce the abuses of an exces
sive number of locations by one o.
more common locators, and favor a re
duction in the time permitted for tn,
marking of poudaries as tending t,
pr vent confusion of title and litiga
ton.
Ae further favor the passage Of
law to render the officers and pro
motors of stock companies liable TO
the reasonable correctness Of advcr
Using statements and prospectuse'
designed to induce the public to pur
chase shares.
