commend him to the peonie,s snffraoe S
We believe that we have reached q
time in our development when it ia
necessary to give sneciai attent;on +o
the means Of Communication within our
county, without extravaganza the high
ways between the mines, the farming
valleys, and therefore roads and centa,sS
Of trade should be systematically and
permanently improved, that all NAV
receive the benefits which follow re-
duction in the cost ofstransportation.
We favor. therefore, the expenditure
OF the County Fund not merely in tenn
Porary repa& but also in the construc-
tiOn Of petnanant 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 a high
standard of. sf6cie06y. Some OF our
cUmmon schools have not kept pace
with the general progress OF our educa-
t1onal methods. We favor, therefore,
more thorough supervision Of our COM
Emon 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 in
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
Platform.
Condeming as we do the failure Of the
republican Congress to enact q law for
Dldd1ng Campaign Contributions by
corporations, we favor the enactment
Dy our State Legislature of laws making
such contributions unlawful in this State
and requiring all Campaign Committees
70 make public account of all funds con-
trlnuted or expended for political pur-
poses; AN uncorrupted franchise being

TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMO

We, Your Committee on Platform and
Resolution, report as follows:
The Democracy of Elko County
through its representatives, assembled
at Elko this day, declares it's allegiance
to the time honored principles of the
Democracy of the Nation and with
pride and satisfaction endorses and
ratifies the Charter of human rights as
proclaimed by. the National Democracy
at Denver and emphasized and pro-
claimed by the State Democracy at its
recent Convention held at Tonopah.
The declarations Of National and

and define the position of the Demo

vitally concerns the welfare of the

give force and effect to its great and
progressive, principles, WILLIAM j.
BRYAN, the most illustrious citizen,
the ablest and most aggressive Cham
pion that the cause Of human Justice
has had since the days of jefferson and
Lincoln, and in his running mate, John
Worth Kern, the Democracy has an
ideal representative of these principles.
With qualification, we point to the
complete work of the Democratic Con-
vention of Tonopah in nominating
candidates of honor, repute, service and
capacity that fit its splendid declara-
tion of principles where true freedoms
cause leads and under which mans
rightful opportunity will never be
abridged.
We rejoice in the unanimous selection
by the Tonopah Convention Of HON.
FRANCIS O.. NEWLANDS for the
United States Senate, representative
of great force, whose championship of
Democracy and Soundness in constructive
legislation is not equalled or paralleled
by any other statesman in the upper
branch Of the Nations Congress, whose
Reclamation and Inland waterway pro-
jects are the scope Of National Appfica-
tion and Legislation, through which the
sons and sons Of man will until time is
no more, by thrift and enterprise and
toll secure those rewards that ever make
the good citizen, the prosperous com
munity and the nobility that is true to
the welfare of q NationI We earnestly
commend the career and service of
Francis Ct. Newlands to the thoughtful
attention Of the Voters Of Elko County,
and upon this high and useful service,
we earnestly invoke their united support
for this great Statesman.
For Congress-, the Party has honored
the People with the selection of Hon.
Geo. A. Bartlett, q sterling son of abil-
ity, man of integrity and whose honor
and fidelity to the interests of the State
is not surpassed by that of any other
citizen in Nevada, and whose record in
Congress has been able, fearless, and
with an influence for salutory legisla-
tion as First Termer, never surpassed.
For the Judiciary, our own Judge
Talbot, one who is dear to the citizens
of Elko County, and whose unimpeach-
able record as a Jurist is shining
emblem of the integrity and fairness Of
Nevada Jurisprudence and who in all
things that makes the Just Judge,

that before long he would &c promoted and
could earn more
This young man had started out with an
entirely wrong view Of things, and unless he
can be "soundly converted" there is no hope
for him. His fall may serve to point q moral
for other young men, to wit Make the most
and best OF what opportunities you have, and
be content with your wages until by your own
merits you can earn more. And don't imagine
that you have to spend as much as some other
young men.

tangled notion that no child should suffer b0di-

The great Pierpont is reported as having
spit his words out vciously, as N he felt rather
vitrioic. He not only spoke III OF labor condi-
lions here, but rallied at the French bankers

bankers. In his interview, Mr.. Morgan talked
like man thoroughly aroused, a little excited
In fact, so the probability Is that he spoke his
real feelings.
II the editor OF the Petit Journal has not
misrepresented Morgan, then Morgan's frame
Of mind is not greatly different from that Of
the anarchist This latter blot on civilization
simply disbelieves In all law and lives unto
himself; Morgan indicates that to him also the
only moral or civil law is his own will. Morgan
wouldn't throw bomb to kin man, but he
would help create panic that would starve
many to death and cause others TO commit
suicide He wouldn't stab man in the back,
but he would crush competitors business in
volving the welfare of hundreds. And what
would he do it for? That HIS will might
triumph, that he might have thirty automo-
bies, that he might pay $4,000 for painting
or horse, or 81 100000 for a yacht.
The time must come, 1t will come when
wealth will be robbed Of its power Such men
as Morgan are helping to bring that time near.
