THE PLATFORM ADOPTED
AT STATE CONVENTION

~ Wdt0TlOO, JuuS l4.-lopSCldlJ-
The Republican party Of Iowa in
convention assembled do hereby
approve most heartily our nation
al party platform recently adopt
ed at Chicago and we do hereby
emphatically endorse the wise pol
icies and splendid administration
Of President Theodore Roosevelt.
We unhesitatingly declare that
the party presents to the nation
a worthy successor and grand
leader in. the candidacy of VIM.
H. Taft for president and like wise
his associate, James s. Sherman
for vice president. We are proud
to endorse the wise statesman
ship Of our United States senators
VIM. B. Allison and Jonathan P.
Dolliver and our entire delegation
in congress. Especially do we
glory in the peerless position of
influence and leadership in the
councils of the nation which our
venerable senator has given to
our state.
It is with pride and confidence
that we appeal to the people of
Iowa for their approval of the
wise, able and economical conduct
Of our state affairs by the present
Republican administration. The
maintenance Of our public in its
station has been effected with a
broad intelligence and the admin
istratfon Of our entire state gov
ernment has been conducted with
such integrity and efficiency as to
constitute period conspicuous in
the craftsmanship of our time.
We rejoice in the great advance
ments tn popular government Sc
cured by the recent Republican
legislation and the able, sincere
and courageous leadership of
Governor Albert B. Cummins.
We believe tnat the abolition of
the railway pass has removed an
insidious temptation from the
paths of our public servants. We
believe that the law prohibiting
contributions by corporations to
political campaigns has materially
purified our policies. We believe
that the Iowa legislation prevent
ing the creation of fictitious values
and the issuance Of water stocks
has pointed to the nation the way
to integrity and confidence in the
securities Of the modern corpora
tions.
We believe that the enactment
of a two cent fare law has proven
just to our. common carriers
while giving to every citizen abso-
lutte equality. We approve the ef-
forts Of the last legislature to se-
cure reductions in freight rates
and in passing the pure food law.
We believe the enactment of a
state wide primary law, perhaps,
showing some imperfections in de-
tail which can be corrected, has
fully vindicated the wisdom of it's
principles in giving the nomina-
tion of party candidates to the
unperverted choice of all the
voters, and we hereby declare that
its provisions should never be re-
paired in principle or in purposes.
We especially commend the re-
strictions which this law has
placed upon the character of cam
paign expenditure and their COM
pulsory publicity.
The remaining paragraphs of
the platform were not received

The double compartment shaft beino

has been cut and a mineralized scb;..
has been encountered showing froo

Silver Ore
The Stewart lease on the Dex,o,

up a 12-foot ledge of good grade silver
ore. A part of the ledge, about . fee.

This ledge is the same as the ons

good milling grade ore and has hoistsd
over 200 tons of ore to the surface. So
far as this ledge is developed the entire

the leasers are pleased with the condi.

SEVERAL COMPANIES AT
sEARCHLrGHr START WORK

The opening gun of the season has
been fred by the Sesrchlight Parallel.
This company has secured a lease on the
Cyrus Noble mill and is running
through its ore dumps preparatory to
resuming operations underground, says
the Bulletin.
Work Started on Oregon
The Searchlight Consolidated re-
sumed operations at the Oregon y%ester-
day. II. l.. Norman is in charge of
the work. The main shaft is now being
unwatered, preparatory to continuing
sinking.
Machinery for Duplex
A local freighter has been notified to
be in readiness to handle a large con
Segment of machinery for the Duplex.
1t is understood hat the shipment in
cludes principally concentrating tables
and other improvements for the mill.

Creditors of the Cyrus Noble Mining
company bought the property In at

for $4,000.

the Sewers camp at Eldorado Canyon.
At a depth of 12O feet over seven feet

yalues in the new 16-foot ledge on
Oh. Manhattan Consolidated at 45 feet
depth remain as good or better than
Mt the 2O-foot level, where a run OF oo
tons of the ore extracted from that
level was made at the Peterson mill
which averaged $50 to the ton in gold,
saws the Mail. At the 2O-foot Level,
where n crosseut was made, the ledge
was I6 feet in width. No crosscut mas
been made below this and it is not
known how the ledge is holding out In
width. The entire shaft is in ore, n
there are no indications but hat the
ledge is holding it's own in width. ms,
however. cannot be determined until
a crosseut is made. 1t is quite prob
able that another run from the old
workings of 700 tons will be made
shortly at the Peterson mill, and it is
rumored that from the proceeds of the
run the company will put in its W
mill. There is no doubt but that a COM
pany mill would be a great advantage
to the property, as it has large bodies
of milling ore, and with its own mill
could soon be on a dividend basis.
Mott Lease
The Mott lease on the Union No. 4,
formerly the Wilson Mcneil lease, is
taking out ore every day and now has
over 1000 tons of good milling ore on
the dump ready for the mill. Rumor is
current that the management Of this
lease is contemplating putting in its
own mill, but the report cannot be
verified. 1t is true, however, that the
ore is on the dumps and blocked out in
the mine, and it would appear to be the
best thing for the leasers to put in
their own mill.
Stray Dog
Considerable interest is manifest
over the starting of operations again
on the Stray Dog. This is n of the
Sullivan properties and has been idle
for months, but again is the scene OF
considerable activity. Twenty men are
now working on this property in stop
ing out ore from this ground and it is
expected that there will be no difficulty
in keeping the mill busy.

We point with pride to the com

legislation which has been enacted by
the Democratic party for the benefit OF
the people of this state and refer espe-
cially to the eight hour labor law, the
employers liability act, the ~railroa !
commission act, the law permitting
school districts to issue bonds for the
construction of school houses, the state
irrigation act and the acts providing
for the gradual and progressive reduc-
tion of a tax rate to the counties, cities
and towns, under which marked reduc-
tions in taxation have been made.
Law and Order
We are in favor of a rigid and i'm
partial enforcement of the laws for the
protection of both persons and property
and for the maintenance of peace and
order within the confines of our state.
feel that if the state should leave
itself powerless to deal with the emer-
geneies as they arise, it can never en-
joy the respect and confidenee-of either
its sister states or the national govern
ment and that its progress and pros
perity will be seriously retarded by the
fear of both labor and capital that their
respective rights viii not be adequately
protected.
We therefore demand that the pres
State Police law be maintained with
such amendments as will insure against
abuse of power, interference in local
except where the local officers
are unable or unwilling to perform their
sworn duty and will guard against the
police force degenerating into a polisi-
cal machine.
We condemn as cowardly, unpatriotic
and unworthy the action of the recent
convention in refusing for
political purposes any direct
to, or endorsement of this
measure, although the passage of the
law was advocated by every Republican
newspaper in the state and the bill re-
ceived the support, with but two ex-
ceptions, of every Republican member
Of the state legislature.
Writ Of Injunction

the National Democratic platform re-
to the writ Of injunction, which

next legislature to vote for him unless
the Republican party shall comply with
