TILE COUNTY CONVENTION

The 1908 Republican county conven
ton has met and adjourned. The re-
suit of it's deliberations was to place
before the voters of Humboldt county
for their consideration a ticket COM
posed of well known and solid and sub
stantial business men, which should be
elected, without difficulty, in November.
While the platform is not all that
was desired by a minority of consider
able proportions, it is in the nature of
a compromise between the conserva-
tive and radical forces that comprised
the committee on platform and resolu-
tIons
The great o'ershadowing feature of
the occasion was the prodigal enter
tainment provided the visiting delega
tions by the citizens of Lovelock.
Zach and every visitor was made 20
feel that he was the guest of honor, and
every man, woman and child of the
convention city, irrespective of party
affiliations, exhibited a true courtesy
and evidence of hospitality that is
only born of good breeding.
September 81, 1908, will go down in
local history as a red letter day, ami
so long as life shall last the visiting
delegates will have a warm spot in
their hearts for Lovelock and it graz
cious citizens.

The platform declares for "a EIDE
quate navy which means the main
t~enance of the navy at it's present size,
at least; and this calls for an expendi-

budget of ten years ago.
The platform favors a generous pen

The platform advocates "the organ

agencies into a national bureau of pub
lie health with power cover sanitary
conditions connected with factories,
mines, tenements, child labor, and other
such subjects,' which would require
an expenditure of millions.
The platform favors "the establish
ment of district agricultural experiment

mechanical colleges in the several
states.' If the government should
erect and maintain colleges in every
state, it would nave to spend many mil
lions annually.
The platform favors a "liberal and

The platform favors federal aid to
state and local authorities in the con-
struction and maintenance of posi-
roads, If the government should en-
ter upon road building, it would have
to spend many millions in order to sat

The platform pledges the party to

institutions wishing to use it, The
inspection and control of national and

WESTERN PACIFIC
STILL INDEPENDENT

Believing that competition is the
life of trade" for many years the peo-
pie of Nevada have been looking for
another railroad that would compete
with the Southern Pacific for the
business.
The advent of the Western Pacific
was accordingly hailed with delight
by all our citizens as a probable means
Of securing reduced freight and pass
enger rates. But for some months past
rumors have been in the air that Gould
was in sore financial straits, and as a
seemingly convincing confirmation of
the report construction work on the
Western Pacific lines in Nevada was
suspended.
On the first of the present month
work was generally resumed on the
Gould line, but imagine the consterna-
ton of our citizens at the published
report that Hartman was furnishing
the money, in return for which assist
ance Gould had agreed to certain
terms, which were enumerated, which
would virtually place the new line
under the control of the Southern
Pacific.
Happily for the people of Nevada,
the report now seems to have been
without foundation in fact. From the
unequivocal and authoritative state
ment of Vice President and Chief En-
gineer Bogue, published in Saturdays
issue Of the Silver State News, there
is no understanding whatever between
the two railway systems, and the
Western Pacific will enter the field
prepared to compete for the business.
