protection to depositors should be am
ply and nationally considered in order
that financial defamation should cease
to exist in Nevada. We favor the
passage of a stringent banking law,
preventing the organization of banks
without adequate resources to safe
guard depositors from loss, and making
the private fortunes of bank stock
holders to an amount equal to the par
value of their stock, subject to execu.

Law and Order Enforcement.
We, as a party, stand firmly and
unequivocally for law and order, and
the passage and enforcement. without
abuse, of such laws as shall maintain
the peace and tranquility of the state,
and which shall protect all Of our peo-
pie in life, liberty and property; and
we condemn the Democratic party of
Nevada for its failure to enforce the
laws and to conserve the interests of
the people, and we further condemn
Democratic extravaganza in creating
useless and expensive state officers.
VIE believe in fostering to the high
est degree the public school system of
the state, and we urge the utmost gen
erosity in support of our State
university.
We commend and endorse the course
and acts o. Senator Geo. 8. Nixon in
the senate of the United States.
We believe in the election of a bona
ide citizen of Nevada to succeed Hon.
Francis G.. Newlands as United State
senator. 1t is unjust and unfair to our
people that the highest Office in the
gift of the state should be held by one
who is a citizen only for political pur-
poses. and is an alien to us in SYM
patty. The Republican party of Ne
vada submits the name of Hon. p. T..
Flanagan of Washoe county for United
States senator, as a citizen typical OF
the state and it's people; able, COM
petent and sincere and honest. and in
every way qualified to represent us in
Washington.

STATE REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM

The Republican party of the state Of
Nevada, in state convention assembled,
submits to the people this declaration
of it's principles:
We again appeal to our citizens in
aiding us in placing this majestic
commonwealth where it rightfully be-
longs, in the triumphant ranks of the
Republican states of the American
Union. We reafirm our belief in, and
pledge our loyalty to, the principles
OF Republicanism, and those principles
will continue to be strong in the hearts
of the peoples.
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 Re-
publican party under the leadership Of
Theodore Roosevelt as president of the
United States. History challenges the
recital of a more valiant defense of the
rights of the people, or a more virile,
able, courageous and conscientious ad-
ministration Of American public af-
fairs. And we proudly endorse and
commend the present administration
as an exhibition of the mature capac-
ity and constructive genius of the
Republican party.
We heartily approve the platform OF
the Republican party adopted at Chi
cago on June Is last. We endorse
its every plank, and we earnestly com
mend it to the careful scrutiny AMI
consideration of the people Of our
state.
Election Of Taft.
We feel assured nationally that the
firm purpose of President Roosevelt
will be continued by the election OF
Taft. The American people will
elect a vascillating man as pres
ident 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 breeze. The
people Of Nevada will remember that
the eloquent tongue of Mr.. Bryan,
which in 1895, at the close of the last
disastrous Democratic administration,
depicted labor as cruciied upon a
cross Of gold has sounded since it's
endorsement of the gold standard.

and James s. Sherman to lead our

In an address recently delivered be-

said such action would prove effective
in the future as it had In the past.
President Gompers Of the American
Federation of Labor at the same meet

enemies of organized labor not to
