able record as q Jurist is u shining
emblem of the integrity and fairness of
Nevada Jurisprudence and who in all
commend him to the peoples suffrage.
We believe that we have reached q
time in our development when it is
necessary to give special attention to
the means of communication within our
county, without extrayagance the high
ways between the mines, the farming
valleys, and therefore roads and centers
of trade should be Systematically and
permanently improved, that all may
receive the benefits which follow re-
duction in the cost of transportation.
We favor, therefore, the expenditure
of the County Fund not merely in tenn
porary repair, but also in the construc-
tion of permanent and better roads
which will make travel and hauling of
freight not only possible but easy at all
seasons of the year.
The people of Elko County have al
ways been proud of and liberal in
support of the public schools. Our
County High School has attained high
standard of efficiency. Some of our
common schools have not kept pace
with the general progress of our educa-
tional methods. We favor, therefore,
mon achools and pledge the nominees
of our Convention who may have any
thing to do with school affairs either in
| their management or supervision, or i'll
the voting OF lands or taxes, to use every
reasonable endeavor to organize, unity
| and improve the school system of our
county
We pledge our Legislative nominees
to the support of the remedial measures
| advocated in the Democratic State
L, Platform.
Condeming us we do the failure of the
| Republican Congress to enact Il law for
bidding Campaign Contributions by
Corporations. we favor the enactment
| by our State Legislature of laws making
| such contributions unlawful in this State
| and requiring all Campaign Committees
| to make public account of all funds con
tributed or expended for political pur-
! poses. An uncOrrupted franchise being
| essential to the safety of Democratic In
| stltutiOns we pledge our support to all
| efforts to enforce the Purity of Election
! laws and for the enactment of any
needed supplemental Legislation to pre-
vent corrupt practices in elections.

the People and herey b pledge the

Of the popular vote cast at the next cleo

And we further pledge the nominees
of this convention for the legislature to
use every reasonable effort to have en-
acted law similar TO the one now in
force i'll Oregon governing the election
Of Il q. S. Senator
Believing that the men whom we will
nominate for County Officers will hc men
who can safely be entrusted with the
administration Of Our county affairs, we
ask for their support at the polls by i'll
citizens who believe in the enforcement
Of law and the progressive and ut the
same time economical management of
all branches of EikO Countys public
business.
