state convention assembled, submits
he glorious history of party achiev'
ment of the administration of Thee
dore Roosevelt as marking the highes1
success of American government. Fro
a debtor nation-the heritage left ~
the last Democratic administration
the United Staes in a decade of Re
publican control, has passed to frs
plac, among the creditor nations of The
earth. The music of prolific industry
fills the air. The wage-earne- walk
the Garth now as one to be recones
with in the division of prosperity. Jus
tice has smltten the highest, as well d
thl meanest offender. Graft has bee
purgod from the conduct of public "a
fairs. Laws of supreme moment to
mankind have been passed. The Par
ANA canal has been made possible
The arid west viii be reclaimed by
governmen Mt aid. The trusts have beer
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
plar of which is Roosevelt. These ar
the signal results of a decade of Re
publican ism, which we submit to the
voters of Nevada with confidence as
to their answer at the polls.
