REPUBLICAN PARTY A GUAR:
ANTE[ OF GOOD GOVERNMENT

me Following statesmanlike reSolu-
tions were adopted by the Republican
state convention held at Carson:
The Republican party. as founded by
Lincoln. must endure as the great po-
litical party Of the nation. Within its
mighty membership, dividing at
times over issues and again re'ip'ting
with the differences adjusted by the
correcting forces of timo and lsuilic
opinion. is the bond Of an enduring
union for the common good AMI well
fare of mankind. We glory in its
fifty years of nation building. marking
the supreme advance of our govern
ment In respect to individual liberty
prosperity and human happiness
Ours is not a party of narrow or crys-
talized thought Its enrolled ranks
OF illustrious leaders include its
martyred Lincoln. the purest and
noblest type of the Anglo-Saxon race;
its Grant, the taciturn warrior; its
Mckinley. the loveable; its Roosevelt
the incarnation Of aggressive action.
and its Taft, the conservative pilot of
the ship of State. Thus the Repub-
lican party embraces the widest diver
gency of opinions in its amaigamation
IF the spirit of the nation into a con-
crete positive force.
National Affairs.
The Democratic party came into
power two years ago with the conten-
ton that the high cost of living was
due to the Republican protective
tariff Its first party measure was the
passage of a revenue tariff act, and
under the operations of which. after
two years, the cost of living has been
higher than ever before. Meanwhile
all that has saved American industries
OF ho INN ri ,rsl ont
Of American labor was the fortuitous
happening of the deplorable war in
Europe which has temporarily inter-
-upted foreign imports and for the
time being not only preserved our
own markets but given us new fields
of commerce. In this connection we
cite the beet sugar industry at Fallon
and the wool industry of the State al
large the former ruined by the Dem
ocratic tariff and the latter crippled
but both today revived by the inter-
vention of the European war
The national Democratic party
came into power two years ago with
plea of Republican extravaganza and
a promise of Democratic economy.
The expenditures under the Wilson
administration for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1914. and the appropria-
tons for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1915. average over Sf5.00O.o0o In
excess of the average annual expendi-
ture under the previous Republican
administration of President Taft.
Newlands and Pittman Condemned.
We condemn the action In Congress
of our two Democratic Senators. pro-
fessedly representing the State of
Nevada who when their two votes
controlled the fate and terms of the
Democratic tariff bill. forgot the In
terests and welfare of the State that
had honored them with its trust 10
join in the destruction of our wool
and beet sugar industry: Mr.. New
lands admitting that the bin was un-
fair to the people of the West. but
feebly supporting 1t, and Mr.. Pittman
on the floor of the Senate holding up
the citizens of Nevada engaged in the
wool industry to ridicule and con-
tumely
In contrast with such Democratic
action. we csommend the stand OF
Hon. f. f. Roberts, on the floor OF
the House, in valiantiy defending by
voice and vote this States welfare
against the Democratic forces arrayed
against It,
We call attention to the significant
act that the Reno rate case, to abate
he back-haul charge and secure JUST
transportation rates in Nevada, was
brought under section of the inter-
ior commerce act which, when up TOT
passage in the Senate, was opposed by
Senator Newlands voice and vote.
but became a law during Republican
administration in spite of his oppo-
sition.
To the declaration that Senator
Newlands is a statesman of interna-
tional caliber and range, We reply
that Nevada can well forego such am
plitude of range for some practical at
tention to the concrete interests ana
needs of his particular common
wealth. We believe that the repre-
sentatives of other States are fully
competent to look after their general
and special interests without our
Senatorial coterie to assist them while
Nevada's needs are forgotten. we
call public attention to the fact that
senator Newlands for the past four
years has paid a political representa-
tive in Nevada. performing no official
duties whatsoever. regular saiary
out of the treasury of the United
states, in contravention of the spirit
of good government.
