Greatest Political Gathering in His
tory of Nevada at Goldfield Yes
terday Make Selections that
Insures Election Of the
Entire Ticket

The Republican party of the state
of Nevada, in state convention as
sembled. submits to the people this
declaration of it's principles:
We again appeal to our citizens to
aid us in placing this majestic COM
monwealth where it rightfully be-
longs, in the triumphant ranks of the
Republican states of the American
union. We re-afirm our belief in and
pledge our loyalty to the principles
Of Republicanism, and those prin-
ciples will continue to be strong in
the hearts of the people.
We rejoice in the continued PROS
perity and progress of the country
under Republican administration.
And we point with special pride to
the magnificent achievements of the
Republican party under the leader
ship of Theodore Roosevelt as presi-
dent of the United States. History
challenges the recital of more vail
ant defense of the rights of the peo-
pie, or more virile, able, courageous
and conscientious administration OF
American public affairs. And we
proud yendorse and commend the
present administration as an exhibi-
tion of the mature executive capacity
and constructive ges,us of the Re-
publican party.
We heartily approve the platform
of the Republican party adopted at
the Chicago convention on June 18
last. We endorse it's every plank,
and we earnestly recommend It to- the
careful scrutiny of our state.
We feel assured nationally that the
firm purposes of President Roosevelt
will be continued by the election Of
Mr.. Taft The American people will
never elect vacillating man as presi-
dent of the United States-a man
who has been on every side of every
public issue and has adapted his prin-
ciples to every veering popular
breeze. The people of Nevada will
remember that the eloquent tongue
of Mr. Bryan, which in 1896, at the
close of the last disastrous admins
tration, depicted labor as crucified
upon cross of gold has sounded
since its endorsement of the gold
standard.
The selection of VIM. HI. Taft and
James s. Sherman to lead our party
in the coming political contest is emil
nently the most fitting that could be
made. Mr.. Taft's long, capable and
forecful administration of important
public affairs. and his progressive and
Independent policies assure the Amer
ican people of another era of progress
and prosperity. The exalted stand
ard of public integrity with which the
names of Lincoln and Roosevelt are
synonymous, will be perpetuated in
the administration of Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Sherman. N
STATE RATE LAW.
We recommend the enactment of a
state railroad rate law, and the vigor-
GUS enforcement of the rights Of ship
pers and passengers. And we further
demand that terminal freight rates be
established for Nevada.
We advocate such changes in our
general laws, and particularly in our
practice acts as will expedite the ad-
ministration of Justice.
We pledge our representatives in
congress to use every effort to secure
the re-opening of the United States
mint at Carson City for the coinage
of money.
DIRECT ELECTIONS.
We favor a constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
We believe nthe eight hour day
