Platform Contains Usual Denunciation Of Republicans


was over everybody would take al
drink and be good fellow.
Carl Young then moved that the
nominations close and Newlands be
elected by acclamation.
Senator Newlands was escorted to
the platform and thanked his friends
from the bottom Of his heart for their
action in placing him in nomination
and believed that the selection would
be ratified by the people of Nevada at
the polls next November. He said
he believed in the rule of the people
and did not wish to be represented by
proxy; wanted to receive the suff-
RACES of the dear people though he
had an advantage in the campaign by
having a chain on the Democratic
hold-over state senator's; as a public
servant he would go before the dear
people and give an accounting of his
stewardship. He invited criticism
of his record and would abide by the
result. He had read the platform
and stood upon it, declaring it not
cowardly and evasiye as that of the
Republican party. He claimed the
Democracy had controlled the state
on account Of its fidelity to its pledges
while all states in the north were
swept into the Republican column,
Nevada alone stood for Democracy
and the party has been true to the
people of the state It's legislation
was not marked by radicalism nor by
economic disturbance, on the other
hand legislation was all in direction
of established reforms. Nevada was
known as the most progressive state
in the union The party demands
that we supplement the initiative and
recall. The recall to replace any
public servant who has been untrue
to his trust Bryan will not allow
Democracy to be turned into class,
and we cannot fail in this contest.
Every needed reform is demanded
with the view to making this state a
model commonwealth The state had
passed through most serious crisis
and did not intend to permit condi-
tions that existed in Colorado to OBJ
tain foothold here. This state will
not be the scene of civil strife and
no internal warfare will be tolerated
4 They intended to preserve order and
the public peace unaided by the ma
tional government, exercising only
the powers of the people themselves.
Hfrsh Harris, ever on the alert for
the financial end of the game, invited
the nominee to get busy with the sack
and he fished up 800 in crisp new
bills from his vest pocket, upon which
the delegate remarked: "He is the
candy kid
i At this stage Of the game vote
of thanks was rendered by the con-
vention to the citizens of Tonopah
and Bryan pennants were passed
around to the delegates.
Bartine, who was enjoying SOM
nolent snooze, came out of his trance
long enough TO enquire If Newlands
had been nominated and was not sat-
} isfied until the minutes had been
read. The commissioner was evident

ed his seconding speech and sank in
