county and state. During his ~administra-
tion both capital and labor have been fully
protected and the just rights of both main
talned. Conscious as we are that Nevada
has entered upon a new era of prosperity,
we trust that Governor Sparks admins
tration will be the prophecy of Industrial
peace and continued prosperity in the
future.
S-We favor the enactment of a lust and
equitable Employers Liability Act for the
protection Of the lives and limbs of en-
plovees.
SENATOR NEwLANDS ENDORSED.
9-We commend with pride and satis-
faction the able and effective work of our
senior United States Senator, Francis G.
Sewlands. The irrigation law with which
MS name will be forever identified, is
working i marvellous transformation in the
social and economic life of sixteen states
and territories, and supplying new hope TO
millions OF American citizens who will OBJ.
tain homes under its beneficent operation.
In view of his splendid service We most
heartily endorse his candidacy for re.elec-
ton in 1905.
love are earnestly in favor of the
creation by law Of the office of bank in
Spector to the end that the depoSitors of
money In such institutions may be ad-
quately protected.
live believe that legislation should
at all times be passed with a view to com.
fort and safety of the working man; and
10 that end 1t Is urged that suitable laws
be enacted by the next legislature of this
stale providing for 4 mine inspector who
shall examine all mines, adits, tunnels.
shafts, ETC., and keep all the works up to
a certain standard fixed by law.
l2-ln the rapid upbuilding now going
on In our state it is extremely important
that ample provision shall be made for
PUBLIC school instruction. Too long the
schools, outside the larger towns, have
dHited on with no adequate supervision,
and apparently with nc effort on the part
Of the educational department to provide a
definite course of study or to Introduce
practical lines of work on a systematic
basis. We favor 4 practical state course
OF study, ample funds for the schools and
liberal salaries for the teachers.
UNIVERSITY.
ihe State University should receive es.
reclal attention. 1t is purely n state insti-
tuition and Is doing 4 noble work for our
young men and women. We favor liberal
appropriations for its support, and such
legislation rs will place and keep il on a
cash basis. The university should be kept
entirely out OF politics, and with that end
in view, we favor the nomination of but
two of the four regents to be chosen at the
coming election, one for the long term and
one tor the short term, ut the same time
authorizing the State Central Committee
TO I'LL the vacancies upon the ticket from
the candidates selected by the Republican
party, II that party takes similar action,

deemed best.
l3-We demand that the United States
mint at Carson City be opened for the
coinage of gold and silver according to law.
STATE TERMINAL POINT.
1--we are In favor Of indicating in the
most positive terms to all railroads travers-
ing our state that we EXPECT and demand
the establishment by each of them Of a
terminal point in Nevada, in conformity
with the Interstate Commerce Law.
lS-We believe that the interests of cap.
ital and labor are inter. dependent and
pledge ourselves 10 do all that lies in our
legitimate methods to foster and protect
their interests.
We believe that laboring men should be
encouraged and given the greatest freedom
TO organize and combine for the betterment
and protection of their social, educational
anu financial condition and for the purpose
OF securing to themselves fair wages and
working hours. AS we have done i'm the
past, we shall also in the future, encourage
the adoption Of the eight hour laboring day
IN all occupations where il is reasonable
and appropriate, and extend il by legisla-
ton to all occupations wherein the consti-
tuition will permit.
CAPITAL PROTECTED.
We Cf1pI for fLa (Iliast ...N.. r
capital and OF vested property interests
and shall endeavor to encourage the great
est Possible investment Of outside and local
capital II our state, by careful and liberal
legislation in lis protection and by the i'm
partial administration of existing laws.
