Elko county is sharing in the general
prosperity OF our State. The Officers
Smaiseu win the care and expenditure of
Sui I~eVenueS- most OF them Democrats
have so managed our County affairs that
our financial condition is the best of any
county IN the State, our rate of taxation
the lowest.
We belive hat we have reached =, time
IN our development when il is necessary TO
give special attention TO the means of COM
munlcatlon within our county, without
extravaganza the highways between the
MINES the farming. valleys and the rail-
ioaos ana centeTs of trade should be sys-
tematicalIy and permanently improved 81
mat all may receive the benefits which
follows reduction In the costs of trans.
portation. '"''
We favor therefore, the expenditure of
the County Fund not merely i'm tempor,rv
repair, but also in the construction OF pef-
manent and better roads which Will make
travel and The hauling Of freight not oniv
possible put easy at all seasons Of the year.
me reopIe OF Elko county have always
been proud Of and liberal in support of he
public schools. Our County HIgh Srbo"J
has attained Il high standard of eficiencv,
some oil our eommon schools have not
kept pace With the general progress of our
educational methods. We favor therefore.
more thorough supervision of our common
schools and pledge the nominees of our
convention who may have ANYTHING 10 do
WIN school affairs, either In their mana.
cement or supervision, or in the voting of
lahuS OF taxes, 10 use every reasonable en-
dehvor to organize, unity and improve The
school system Of our county.
We pledge our legislative nominees IN
the support OF the remedial measures nd.
Voclted IN the Democratic State platform
-Iondemning rs we do the failure of the
Republican Congress to enact n W for.
bidding Campaign Contributions by Cor.
PoratlonS, we favor the enactment by our
Stale Legislature Of laws making such
contributions unlawful In this State and
requiring all Campaign Committees 10
make public account of all funds contribut.
ed or expended for political purposes. An
interrupted franchise being essential TO
the safety Of Democratic Institutions, we
pledge our support TO all efforts to enforce
the Purity Of Election laws and for the en-.
actment of any needed supplemental legis.
Iltlon to prevent corrupt practices In
The anti-pass provisions of the recently
enacted Rate Regulation Bill being In
operative over railroad travel within the
State, our legislature should enact a law
prohibiting under penalty the granting TO
or receiving by any State or County officer
or member Of the legislature Of free rail-
way transportation. The servants of the
people should not be the recipient of
special favors from Railroad CORPORATIONS
INC County Superintendent Of School
should have expert training in educational
matters. This qualification cannot always
be found combined with the ability and
knowledge requisite for a good District
Htto,ney. These two offices should there
fore be segregated.
IN other county Offices the work IS 50
growing through the growth of the county,
that either sllaried deputies should be pro.
vided for when needed, or provision made
for the separation Of the Offices when the
officer Is performing the functions which
properly pertain to two or more Offices.
we demand that the members Of the legis.
latnre elected from this county introduce
and SECURE the passage Of such legislation
as VIII effect these objects.
The Election Of United States Senators
by the people, nominations by Direct Pri.
rnaries and the Initiative and Referendum
are steps towards purcr Democracy and
Gratis.
Believing that the men when we will
nominate for County Offices will I've nen
who can safely be entrusted with the at.
minlstration Of our county affairs, W
ask for their support at the polls by aIl
citizens. who believe in the enforcement Of
law and the progressive and at the same
time economical management Of all
branches Of Elko COunty's public business.
