The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1906-09-28

The Democrats of White Pine County,
Nevada, in convention assembled renew
their allegiance to that grand OLD party
founded hy Jefferson, consolidated by
Jackson and we'll, fearlessly and elo-
quently represented by William Jen-
nings Bryan.
We heartily endorse IN its entirety
the comprehensive and vigorous plat
form adopted by The Democratic Silver
convention held in Reno, August 30
1906, and we pledge to the nominees of
that convention our loyal and enthasi-
astic support.
We point with pride to the able, fear
less and statcsmanlike administration
Of cur state affairs BY our present
chief executive" Honest Ohm Spark"
and we rejoice to know that he has
again consented to lead the hosts of
Democracy of this STATE to q splendid
victory.
We point with pride to eur party's
record ON the labor question During
the past four years our State has en-
joyed an era Of industrial peace such IS
few States have been blessed with and
the chief factor conducting to this happy
state of affairs is the pronounced atti-
tude of our Democratic administration
which insisted upon an absolutely
Square deal'' between employer and
employee in the enforcement Of the
law. We felcitate the wage c2rners
of our State upon the passage of the
"eight hour lava law passed by
Democratic legislature, signed by a
Democratic governor and maintained to
a successful issue through the courts of
our State and the Supreme Court Of
the United States by n Democratic
Attorney General.
We emphatically reiterate that plank
of our county platform Of two years
ago which reads: I'VE pledge our
nominees for Offices controlling The
County's finance to a clean, economical
and business-hke administration of the
County's affairs. >
We believe that the best interests Of
the County will be subserved by pay
ing the County officers salaries eeDl-
mca ..5s., y ith the duties and resfcn-
sibilities Of the Office and favor increa8-
ing the salary CT the County ComElis-
sioners to an amount that will be suf-
ficient to cover, at least, their Ling
expenses.
We denounce as unwise. impolitic
and uncalled-for the action of the last
Republican Legislature in consolidating
the Offices of Sheriff and Assessor and
demand the segregation, BY the next
Legislature, of those Offices.
We are unalterably opposed to the
repeal of the eight hour law or 10 The
enactment Of any amendments that
will in anywise impair its effectiveness.
We pledge our nominees for Assem-
blymen to vote and work against any
bill that may come before the Leeisla
turc having for its object the bonding
Of White Pine County for the Puraose
of taking up the County's floating in
dcbtcdness,
We pledge our nominees for Com
missioncrs to maintain aud keep IN as
good repair as the Road funds will per
nit, the highways OF our County, treat
ing every section of the county with
fairness and without discrimination.
We favor the speedy wiping out Of
our County's floating Indebtedness and
to that end demand the repeal 10y the
next Legislature, of the law requiring
transfers TO be made to the Redemp-
ton fund to The Jurors Per Diem fund
which seriously inpairs, and in Z large
measure subyerts, the intent of the
law creating the Redemption fund.
Nevada for the past quarter Of =
century has been the victim Of unjust
determinations at the hands Of rail
road corporations and We pledge our
nominees for AGsemblyDlen to vote and
work for the passage Of a law. IN the
next session Of our Legislature, fixing
the maximum freight rates and passen-
ger fares to he charged by said cor
porations in this State at q figure just
and reasonable both to the people and
to The carrying corporations.
