The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1906-10-19

The Republican party of Nevada, il
state convention assembled, submits
the glorious history of party achieve
ment CT the administration of Theo
dore Roosevelt as marking the highes
success of American government. Fron
a debtor nation-the heritage left by
the last Democratic administration
the United Staes in a decade of Re.
publican control, has passed to frs
plact among the creditor nations of the
earth. The music of prolific industry
fills the air. The wage-earner walkt
the earth now as one to be recone.
with in the division of prosperity. JUS
tice has smitten the highest, as well d.
the meanest offender. Graft has bee
purgtd from the conduct of public "a
fairs. Laws of supreme moment t.
mankind have been passed. The Pa
anna canal has been made possible
The arid west will be reclaimed hs
government aid. The trusts have bee
curbed by stringent laws; the raj
roads shorn of discriminating abuses
Above all there has beer 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 tn,
voters of Nevada with confidence ~
70 their answer at the polls.
STATE GOVERNMENT.
Thc contrast between the admins
t~rative success of the Republican part
in national affairs and the h%umiliatins
history of Democratic ineficiency :
Nevada calls for Q change in the DO
litical control of the state. With off
cials habitually absent from the ear
itol, the executive departments of til,
state in Democratic hands are ecn
Quoted with only haphazard regard te
the public business. Such absenteeisn
is notorious, and coupled with tn,
complete non-attendance of the Demo
cratic member of congress from hi
duties in Washington, condemns tina
party as unworthy the further trus.
OF the people. We are entering upo
a golden era of development and tn
necessity is urgent to vest the powers

CONDENSATION.
We ineorse and commend the cours.
OF Honorable George s. Nixon in til,
senate OF the United States upon thu
great public questions before this con
sfess. Ills strong support of Roose
vet and his vote upon the railroad an
ti-rebate law and other measures vita
to the welfare OF the people, together
with his businessllk, attention to tn,
interests OF Nevada is a source of sat
isfaction to his party and congratula
tion to his state.
MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevada
is a treasury of fottune belonging to
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be given
the mining industry that may be &C
complished by legislation. We favor
the passage of a law extending the
right OF eminent domain for mininl
purposes 10 apply to locations mad,
upon unfencSd and un.mproved lands
held in private ownership, the minerals
within which are reserved by the gov.
ernment, that purchase may be made
of the surface thereof by a locator
aft r proper appraisement; and we con-
denim the v.toing of such a law three
y. ars since by a Democratic gov
ornor of Nevada after it's passage by an
overwhelming vote of the Legislature.
We favor conservative legislation tend
ing to reduce the abuses of an excess
sive number of locations by one or
more common ~locators, and favor a re.
duction in the time permitted for the
marking of poudaries US tending to
prevent confusion Of title and litiGa-
ton.
We further favor the passage Of q
law to render the officers and pro-
motors of stock companies liable for
the reasonable correctness of advcr-
Using statements and prospectuses
designed to induce the public to pur-
chase shares.
