PLATFORM
FULL TEXT OF PARTY PRIMO
PIES AS ADOPTED AT STATE
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AT
FALLON, MAY 9TH.

We the representatives of the Re-
publican party of the state of Ne
vada, in convention assembled here
by present the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we hereby an
nounce our undivided allegiance to
the national Republican party, whose
history stands u~nriyalled in its
achievements. for life, libery, the
pursuit of happiness, and the pro-
lection of rights of all the people.
whether rich or poor, under the law
and the constitution of this match
less republic, from the immortal
Abraham Linsoln to the Hon. Will
liam Howard Taft.
Resolved, That history affords no
example, ancient, medieval or mod
r of any political organization,
whose splendid record can compare
with that of the Republican party
"a party born under the leadership
of Lincoln, breathing liberty. justice
and truth, and grasping with the
mighty hand of power, guided by
intelligence the reins of gov
ment, and from the cahotic condi-
.tions following the greatest Civil War
in the worlds history, has made.
these United states an indfssoluble
union of states, and builded this
government under the Stars and
Stripes, until today, under William
Howard Taft, our country stands first
in the civilized world.
Resolved, That the splendid line
of statesmen, soldiers and patriots,
like Lincoln, Garfield, Grant, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt, and Taft and
Others, but speak what the future
will certainly be, under leadership of
this great party-a party which has
no other hope, is moved by no other
principle than the upbuilding of the
whole Union for the benefit of all
the people, and the preservation
and protection of the rights of every
citizens under just and constitutional
safeguards.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
all forms of monopoly. and demand
that our representatives in congress
use all honorable means to bring
about such wise and prudent legisla-
ton as shall curb and hold in check
the aggression of aggregate capital
upon the rights of the people. and
give to the people the necessary
remedies to protect them from the
greed and remorseless power of
wealth
The delegates, representatives of
the republican electorate of Nevada,
believe and attest that the history of
the nation during the last four years
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-05-19

has fully established the propriety
and the necessity for the perpetual
ton of the republican party in au-
thority and control as the forceful
and faithful champion of civic pro-
gressive principles amply broad
enough to meet every requirement of
our progressively enlightened people
in every section of our great common
country.
We declare results prove that the
republican party is the only national
political organization which has the
ability to effeetually restrain and
curb the aggressions and tyrannies of
monopolistic trusts and syndicates,
and We express the belief that ii
is to that party alone the people
must look for further effective legis-
lation and administrative activity to
keep them within due bounds.
We denounce the inalign attempts
of the present democratic majority
in the lower house of congress to
withdraw national protection from
American labor and Industries and to
substitute therefor free trade legisla-
tion which, should 1t become opera
tive, will inevitably impoverish labor,
stifie development, palsy capital, and
impose upon our citizens of moderate
means an undue proportion of the
burden of paying into the national
treasury the venue necessary to
defray the expenses of our govern
ment and in this connection we re-
new our fealty to that cardinal
doctrine of the republican party since
its birth, a tariff law so framed that
as nearly as possible it will equit-
ably operate and dignity American
labor, stimulate the development of
American industries, and provide a
maximum amount of needed nation
al revenue.
We realize even more strongly
than heretofore that it continues to
be the especial function and duty of
the republican party to eliminate as
far as possible the undue influence
of unpatriotie political schemers
and bosses in party and government
affairs, and we rejoice in the many
evidences of a reawakened public
conscience demanding an increased
responsive force from the people di-
rectly in formulating their demands,
selecting their candidates, and recall
ing their officers who have proved
themselves unworthy of their trusts.
We deplore the apparent inability
or Discrimination of the Mexican
government to properly protect
American citizens and American
property rights within its domain
and We urge that the American gov
eminent within treaty rights and the
principles of international law,
promptly institute such measures as
will speedily insure the safety of
each.
We urge such amendments Of our
present direct primary election law
as will include in its operation the
nomination of presidential electors
and will permit such nominations to
be made at the state convention of
the various political parties held for
the purpose of selecting delegates to
their various national conventions to

ST. SWITHIN'S DAY
IF 1T DOTH RAIN
For Forty Days II Will Remain,
According To Ancient Legend.

-. Swithin was Bishop who lived long
Years ago,
They buried him as he had wished, with
common folks and low.
But when they dug him up again, the
weather it got shockin'
TIE ky grew black and a rain came on that
wae 40 days in stoppin'.
So. as Monday was St. Swithn's Day,
if it rained before y o'clock you can
put it down that all danger of drought
during the rest of the summer is over.
That is, if you believe in old legends
and portents The story that it will
rain for 40 days If single drop falls on
st. Swithin's Day has been handed down
from generation to generation for CEN
turtles, and so firmly is the legend en-
bedded IN the life of English-speaking
people that has been dignified by being
ciassed with Anglo Saxon folklore.
Doubtless there are as many who con-
fidently expect 40 days of weepy skies
after a rain on ST. Swithin's as there
are those who entertain no doubts as to
six weeks Of bad winter weather fol-
lowing the terror experienced by the
ground hog at the sight of his shadow
on the day he wakes from his winter
nap.
St. Swithin was an Englishman, so the
myth affirms, who lived in the Ninth
Century, A. D. In S52 he was made
Bishop of Winchester, which, after
Canterbury, is the most ancient see in
England. During the reigns of King
Egbert and King Ethelwolf Bishop
Swithin held the CHARACTERISTIC, but
despite his high office and with extraor-
binary modesty he made a request that
when he died he be buried with the
rank and file, rather than in the chancel
Of his church, which he considered too
holy for his bones to rest in.
Well, at last the Bishop passed away;
his wish was followed and he was buried
in Winchester Churchyard. But later
on the body was disinterred (97l) and
buried in the chancel. At this disregard
of the good mans request nature got
her back up and storm came on that
showed no signs of abating until 40 days
had passed.
Thus the legendary account. His
torical records of that remote period
make no mention of this unusual state
of affairs, and there is nothing to show
that the weather sages of the dav either
predicted the phenomenon or made a
note of it, like Cap'n Cutie, after it had
happened.
But, that. who wants any dry, I'M
imaginative old historical facts flung
into his face when there is a nice,
picturesque legend at hand?

PORTION Of OAKLAND WAS
INUNDATED I HURSDAYN|GHT
Which Caused Comfortable Loss to
Merchants and The Municipality.

Wilson Creek, the little stream that
flows through Oakland. passing under
Third and Second streets on its way to
join the Little Youghiogheny, did dam
age amounting to fifteen hundred or two
thousand dollars last Thursday night,
when the flow of water was augmented
to such an extent as to overflow the
banks and force the water up over 9th
Second and Third streets to a depth of
two feet or more in front of The Repub-
lican building on Second street. while
on Third street from:the plant of the
Oakland Dairy Association to Green
street the road way was turned into a
raging torrent, washing out the bridge
leading across the stream on Wilson
street, besides tearing out the board
walk in front of the creamery property
and flooding the building to depth of
four feet or more, doing considerable
damage to the stock and fixtures of the
plant, and washing away number of
ice cream packers and other property
that was stored alongside the building.
On Second street the water rose to a
depth of eighteen inches in the Oakland
BAKERY and in the store of Messrs.
Bolden, Brown & Weimer, as well as in
the restaurant of Mr.. W. g. Hinebaugh
In the store room of Messrs. Dixon &
Kelso the water was about six inches
deep. In the Garrett National Bank
building less than two inches of water
found its way inside the doors as the

ings prevented any great volume Of
water entering.
The loss to the Oakland Bakery
amounted to about $500 Messrs. Boil
den, Brown & Weimer's loss is esti-
mated at about $1,000. while thai of the
Others affected will amount to little or
nothing.
The loss to the municipality amounts
to about $500 in the washing out of the
streets, damage to bridges and other
property.
The cause Of the sudden rise of water
is attributed to a cloudburst which oc-
Cured about two miles north of Oak
land. The water came down with a
tremendous rush, reaching its highest
| level within ten minutes after the rain

TYPHOID Turks IN WELLS.
United States Geological Survey Is
sues Reprint of Report on "Under-
ground Waters for Farm USE"

The rural sections, long considered
ideal so far as concerns the health of
their inhabitants, have been dealt a
blow by physician investigators who
maintain that two-thirds of the cases
of typhoid fever in the city owe their
origin to insanitary conditions in the
country and to polluted water supplies.
Farms. which are generally remote
from towns, cities, or other areas of
congested population, would seen to be
almost ideally situated for obtaining
pure and wholesome water, but in real
ity polluted water is exceedingly COM
mon on them and typhoid fever rates
are usually greater in country districts
than in cities. Typhoid fever is now
almost universally believed to be trans
mitted solely through drink or food
taken into the stomach, and is especial
" liable to be communicated by polluted
waters obtained from shallow wells
near spots where the discharges of
typhoid patients have been thrown
upon the ground and subsequently car
ried down through the soil and to the
wells, and it is doubtless prime ipally this
fact that accounts for the disease being
so common in farming regions.
On great many farms the we'll is To-
Gated at point that may be convenient
to the dwelling, without any regard for
the possibility of the pollution of the
well water through seepage from barn
or cesspool or through the circulation of
water underground. Information re-
lating to the underground movement of
water is particularly valuable, and on
this account the United States Geolog-
ical Survey is distributing report on
the subject Water-Supply Paper 225-

Dates of sowing for adjoining sections
to the above can be figured by moving
forward the date of sowing one day for
