dore Roosevelt as marking the highest
success of American government. Fron
a debtor nation-the heritage left by
the last Democratic administration
tie United Staes in a decade Of RI
publican control, has passed to frs
place among the creditor nations Of :h
earth. The music of prolific industr
fills the air. The wage-earne- walk
the earth now as one to be reconee
with in the division of prosperity. Jus
tice has smitten the highest, as well h
the meanest offender. Graft has bee.
purged from the conduct of public aaf

The arid west viii be reclaimed b,
government aid. The trusts have bee
curbed by stringent laws; the rail
roads shorn of discriminating abuses
Above all there has been infused int
the conduct of public affairs a new
standard of civic probity, the exem

the signal results of a decade of Re

voters of Nevada with confidence a.

STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins
t~rative success of the Republican party
in national affairs and the humiliatins
history Of Democratic ineficiency i
Nevada calls for q change in the pc
litical control Of the state. With off
cials habitually absent from the cap
itol, the executive departments of tn,
state in Democratic hands are con
Quoted with only ~haphazard regard t,
the public business. Such absenteeism
10 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 upol
y golden era of development and the
sssessity 10 urgent to vest the powers
Oh state into competent hands. We
rpledge each and every nominee of this
convention for any Office to at all times
when not justiiably excused therefrom
remain at his post OF duty, ready ano
prepared to cheerfully perform all pub
lie services required of HIM by law or
by a proper regard for the convenient
dispatch of official duties.
COMMENTATOR.
We ipdorse and commend the course
OF honorable George s. Nixon in the
senate Of the United States upon the
great public questions before this con,
gress. Ills strong support of Roose-
veit 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
ssfaction to his party and congratula-
ton to his state.
MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevada
il q treasury of fottune belonging to
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be given
the mining industry that may be &C
eomplished by legislation. We favor
me passage OF a law extending the
right OF eminent domain for minina
purposes 10 apply TO locations made
upon unfenc,d and un.mproved lands
held in private Ownership, the minerals
within which are reserved by the gov

Esd tns sur ace thereof by a locator
a. r proper appraisement; and we con
denim the vetoing OF sue a law three

ernor of Nevada after it's passage by an
overwhelming vote CT the legislature
We favor conservative legislation tend

sive number of locations by one OF
more common locators, and favor . ie'

We further favor the passage of a
law to render the officers and pro-
motors of stock companies liable for
