The Republican party of Nevada, i
state convention assembled, submits
the glorious history OF party achieve
ment OF the administration Of Thoo
dore Roosevelt as marking the highesf
success of American government. FRO
a debtor nat.on-the heritage left IL
the last 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 industr,
fills the air. The wage-earner walks
the earth now as one to be reconet
with in the division of prosperity. JUS
tice has smitten the highest, as well a.
! the meaEest offender. Graft has bee
purged from the conduct of public aa
fairs. Laws of supreme moment to
mankind have been passed. The Pan
anna canal has been made possible.
The arid west viii be reclaimed by
government aid. The trusts have beei
curbed by stringent laws; the raj
roads shorn of discriminating abuses.
Above all there has been infused int
the conduct of public affairs a new
standard of civic probity, the excm
plar of which is Roosevelt These ar
the signal results OF a decade of Re
publican ism, which we submit to tho
voters of Nevada with confidence a;
10 their answer at the polls.
STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins
tratiye success of the Republican part.
in national affairs and the humiliatint
history of Democratic inefiiciency !.
Nevada calls for a change in the pc
litical control of the state. With off
Gals habitually absent from the cap
itol, the executive departments of tn,
state in Democratic hands are cor
Quoted with only haphazard regard t.
the public business. Such absenteeism
is notorious, and coupled with tn
complete ,non-attendance of the Demo
cratic member Of congress from his
duties in Washington, condemns tina.
party as unworthy the further truss
of the people. VIZ are entering upol
. golden era of development and the
necessity is urgent to vest the powers
of state into competent hands. We
pledge each and every nominee of this
convention for any Office to at all times
when not justillably excused therefron
remain at his post o. duty, ready ant
prepared to cheerfuly perform all pub
lie services required Of hlm by law 81
by a proper regard for the c%ony,nien,
d spatch OF official duties.
CONTEMPLATION.
We indorse and commend the courss
of Honorable George s. Nixon in tn
senate of the United States upon thu
great public qu1 stions before this con
gress. Ills strong support of Roose

with his business-lik, attention to tn,
interests of Nevada is a source of sal
isfaction to his party and congratula
ton to his state.

The great mineral wealth of Nevad.
is a treasury of fottune belonging t,
rich and poor alike. Every protection
