Democratic Silver State Ticket and Platform

I, portant measures relating to irrigation and
taxation have been passed, promoting the de-
velopmeat Of the State on varied lines, equal
ling assessment, reducing rates of taxation.
both county and State. During his admins
tration both capital and labor have been fully
protected and the just rights OF both main
tanned. Conscious as we are that Nevada has
entered upon a new era of prosperity, We
trust that Governor Sparks administration
will be the prophecy of industrial peace and
continued prosperity in the future.
S-We favor the enactment Of a just and
eouitable Employers Liability Act for the
protection Of the lives and limbs of employees.
SENATOR SKwLASDs ENDORSED
Give commend with pride and satisfaction
the able and effective work Of our senior
United States Senator, Francis G.. Newlands.
The great irrigation law with which his name
will be forever identified, is working a mar
velous transformation In the social and eco
monte life Of 16 States and Territories, and
supplying new hope to millions Of Amer lean
citizens who will obtain homes unde its be-
nefcent operation. In view OF his splendid ser
vice we most heartily endorse his candidacy
for reelection la 1909.
lO-We are earnestly in favor Of the crea-
ton by law Of the Office of bank inspector to
the end that the depo itors of money in such
institutions may DC autluatell pfuLtcteu.
live believe that legislation should at all
times be passed with a view to the comfort
and safety OF the working man; and To that
end il is urged that suitable laws be enacted
by the next legislature of this State providing
for a mine Inspector who shall examine all
mines, adits, tunnels, shafts, ETC., and keep
all the works up TO a certain standard to be
fixed by law.

ample provision shall be made for public
school instruction. Too long the schools, out
side of the larger towns, have drifted on with
no adequate supervisor, and apparently with
no effort on the part Of the educational depart
ment 10 provide q definite course Of study or
to introduce practical lines of work on a sys-
tematic basis. We favor a practical State
Course Of Study, thorough supervision, county
and State; ample funds for the schools and
liberal salaries for the teachers.
UNIVERSITY
The State University should receive es-
pecial attention. 1t is purely a State institu-
ton and is doing a noble work for our young
men and women. We favor liberal appropria
tions for its support. and such legislation as
viii place ana keep it at all times on a cash
basis. TIL University should be kept entirely
out Of politics, and with that end in view
we favor the nomination Of but two OF the
four regents to be chosen at the coming cleo
tion. one for the long term and one for the
short term, at the same time authorizing the
State Central Committee to fill the vacancies
upon the ticket from the candidates selected
by the Republican party, il that party take
similar action, otherwise to fill the vacancies
as may be deemed best.
13-We demand that the United States
mint at Carson City be opened for the coinage
of gold and silver according to law.
STATE ERMISA POINT
live are in favor of indicating in the
most positive terms to all railroads trayersing
our State that we expect and demand the es
adjustment by each Of them of a termina
point in Nevada, in conformity with the In
state Commerce Law.
15-We believe that the interests Of capital
and labor are inter. dependent and pledge our
selves TO do all that lies in our power by
means Of legislation and other legitimate
methods to foster and protect their interests.
We believe that laboring men should be en-.
eouraged and given the greatest freedom &c
organize and combine for the betterment and
protection Of their social, educational and
financial condition and for the purpose Of
securing for themselves fair wages and work
ing hours. As we have done in the past, We
shall also in the future, encourage the sdop-
ton Of the eight hour laboring day in all oc.
equations where it is reasonable and ap.
propriate, and extend it by legislation to all
occupations wherein the constitution will
permit.
CAPITAL PROTECTED
We stand for the fullest protection Of cap
ital and Of vested property interests and shall
endeavor to encourage the greatest possible
investment Of outside and local capital In our
State, by careful and liberal legislation in its
protection and by the impartial administra-
tion OF existing laws.
BRYAN THE MAN
The election Of 1906 will be the prelude OF
the great Presidential struggle of 1908. The
Democratic standard bearer Of two years
hence Is all eady nominated in the hearts of the
American people. Twice before the people
Of Nevada have given an overwhelming ma.
jority Of their votes to the great leader and
statesman whom destiny has clearly marked
as the next Precedent Of the United States. In
this years campaign we are fighting his battle,
as through ten weary years he has fought the
battle of Nevada. II Nevada would pay her
debt Of gratitude to one who has fought the
feht and kept the faith. II Nevada would see
the aspirations Of her people, triumphant two
years hence, she will make sure Of A Demo
cratic victory In November neyt, and thereby
express in unmistakable terms her confdeno'
In the leadership, the character and thu
wisdom of the next President Of the United
States, William Jennings Bryan.
