The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1906-10-16


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 snation-the heritage left by
the last y Democratic administration
the United Staes in a decade of Re
publican control, has passed to frs
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 reconef
with in the division of prosperity. Jus
tice has smItten the highest, as well hi
tho meanest offender. Graft has beer
purged from the conduct Of public aaf
mankind have been passed. The Pan
anna canal has been made possible.
The arid west viii be reclaimed by
government aid. ThevtTusts .hsve beer
curbed by stringent laws; the rail
roads shorn of discriminating abuses.
Above all there has been infused int
the conduct of public affairs q new
standard of civic probity, 1.-THE exem
plar of which 10 Roosevelt. These ar
the signal results of a decade of Re
publican ism, which we submit to th.
voters of Nevada with confidence a.
to their answer at the pole.
STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins.
trative success of the Republican party
in national affairs and the humilistine
history of Democratic i~nefReieucy a
Nevada calls for q change in the pc
litical control Of the state. With ON
Gals h~abitually absent from the cap
itol, the executive departments of tn
state in Democratic hands are con
Quoted with only haphazard regard Il
the public business. Such absenteeisn
is notorious, and coupled with tn
complete n-attendance Of the Demo
cratic member of congress from hi,
duties in Washington, condemns tina
party as unworthy the further trus
of the people. We are entering upe
a golden era Of development and u.
necessity Is argent to vest the power,
Of state into competent hands. We
pledge each and every nominee Of thi
convention for any Office to at all times
when not j~ustifiabiy excused thersfron
emain at mis- post OF duty, ready ano
prepared to cheerfully perform ell pub
lie services required of HIM by law or
by a proper regard for the convenient
dispatch of official duties.
COMMUNICATIONS.
We indorse and commend the course
of Honorable George 8. Nixon in the
senate of the United States upon the
great public questions before this con
gress. Ills strong support Of Roose
welt 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
is a treasury of fottune belonging to
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be given
the mining industry that may be &C
somplished 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 the surface thereof by q locator
aft,r proper appraisement; and We con-
denim the vetoing Of such q law three
y, ars since by q Democratic gov
,rnor of Nevada after it's passage by an
overwhelming vote of the .~legislatars.
We favor conservative legislation tend
ing to reduce the abuses Of an exces-
sive number Of locations by one ~
more common l~ocators, and favor . ie-
duction in the time permitted for the
marking Of ooudaries ~ tending TO
prevent confusion Of title and litiga-
tion.
