Resolution, report as follows:
The Democracy of Elko County
through it's 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
State Convention deal with problems
and define the position of the Demo
cratic Party on every live question that
vitally concerns the welfare of the
entire people, Nation and State, and
that we heartily commend these declara-
tions to the attention of the Voters of
Elko County for their approval, perusal
study and ratification.
We congratulate the Democracy of the
Nation upon its Standard bearer, to
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 it's splendid declara-
tion of principles where true freedoms
cause leads and under which mans
rightful opportunity will never be
abridged. @ =. a5ar.-,

jects are the scope of National Applica-

no more, by thrift and enterprise and
toll secure those rewards that ever make
