Platform
We are proud of the history of
the Republican party, and review viii
satisfaction what it has accomplish
ed for the benefit of the people.
We rejoice, and with good reason, at
the successful energy and determine
ton manifested by the Republican
party in striking boldly and effective.
ly at the many forms of corporate
greed, so injurious to the American
people.
We realize the necessity of con-
troll of the next Congress and urge
the Importance of the election of
the Honorable Senator w. A. Massey
60 the United States Senate, and
the reelection of the Honorable E.
E. Roberts to the House of Repre-
sentatives at the coming election.
We heartily advocate the election
of United States Senators by direct
vote Of the people, and We pledge
our legislative nominees to support
for that office the candidate that
receives the highest number of votes
at the General Election on Novem.
Der 5th.
We heartily indorse the Republi-
can National Platform adopted at
Chicago, and the Republican State
Platform adopted at Fallon. We also
indorse the administration Governor
T. L. Oddie, and particularly CON-
mend his honest efforts to reduce
the States governmental expenses.
We are anxious for Increased de-
velopment of the mining resources Of
Elko County and the State of Ne
vada, and pledge our legislative nomi.
Dees to favor every measure which
will tend to facilitate our mining
industries.
We are likewise anxious for in
creased development OF our stock
raising and agricultural industries
and believe that certain amendments
TO our laws might be made to the
benefit of bona-fide settlers, parti--
cularly in reference to an equitable
distribution of water and the adjudi-
cation Of water rights.
The healthful condition of our
public schools is a matter of great
qualification, and we strongly in
dorse every measure which will ex-
tend and improve the blessings of
our public school system.
We deplore the conditions OF the
public roads in Elko County and
feel that one of the County's most
crying needs is a decided and ex-
tensive improvement in its roads.
The present law relating to road
supervisors should be rigidly enforc-
ed, and system of management
which will result in per-
manent and thorough improvements.
We believe that when roads are
made that they should be made
with the idea OF permanency;
We are opposed to the idea of being
engaged in making cheap
md wasteful repairs which endure
but short time. We believe that
sign posts should be placed through
out the county as provided by law,
is the same would greatly facilitate
public travel, and would be but
slight expense to construct and
maintain. We pledge our nominees
for the office of commissioners to
use every endeavor to bring about a
thorough and substantial improve.
