ACTION RELATIVE TO
R|EPET0WN LICENSES

The board Of county commissions
ers was In session all during yestef-
day, and aside from the auditing Of
bills and = general discussion of
county AFFAIRS, the matter of appli-
cations for saloon licenses at Riepe-
town was given considerable
attention. Four new appli-
cations we're presented. and there
was a large contingent ON hand to
support their claims to the right to
sell liquor at the spot near the mines
which seems to be particularly do
voted to that purpose.
The recent activity at Giroux no
doubt was the cause which prompted
the new applications. The county
commissioners. however. were unan
imously Of the opinion that the eight
saloons now in Riepetown should be
sufficient to Quench the thirst Of
the nine residents Of that locality.
They postponed action for thirty
or sixty days in order to get . better
outline on Just how far the 0iroux
activity will extend and what the
demands will be.
The next meeting of the board will
be on October 8.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

We. the duly elected delegates OF
the republican party of White Pine
county In convention assembled this
, 18th day OF September, 1916, dc
hereby adopt the following platform !:
/. We favor the direct primary
method of nominating state and
county candidates for public office
and urge our representatives in the
next legislature to repeal the present
law which has proven unsatisfactory
both to voters and candidates.
2. We deprecate the action of the
last legislature in passing the gam
bling law. the six months divorce
law and the law permitting betting
on horse races. and We recommend
that our representatives in the next
legislature use their efforts for such
legislation upon these matters as will
bring Nevada into a common under
standing with her sister states.
3. We favor the enactment Of
such legislation as will enable the
state OF Nevada to participate in the
benefits of the federal roads bill re-
Gently passed by congress. Under
the act of congress it wiz be neces-
sary for the state TO put up dollar
for dollar to receive the benefit of
the government appropriation. The
additional tax involved will, We be-
lieve, be justified. both because 1t
will insure the benefit of federal
funds and because 1t will reduce To-
cal taxation for road purposes as. part
of the road work formerly done by
the commissioners will under the new
system be undertaken by the state
and federal government.
4. We favor the enactment OF
such legislation as will provide for
the pensioning of mothers, depend
ing upon their own physical exertion
for support of themselves and their
children under sixteen years of age.
s. We favor changing the time OF
electing the mem bers of the county
high school board to the same date
as that upon which the trustees OF
the grade schools are elected, there
by eliminating the schools from pol
tiles as far as possible.
c. We favor economy In state
and county affairs and II method
can be found whereby part Of the
bonds outstanding against the county
can be paid of before their maturity,
we believe that the present time OF
prosperity should be taken advan-
tage of and the county's bonded In
debtedness reduced so Far as pos
sible. q
7. The almost universal use Of
automobiles and motor trucks hav-
Ing rendered our present road law
to some extent ineffective, we favor
a revision OF the law which will
strictly define the road rights OF all
vehicles and impose just penalties
for reckless driving and other I'm
fringements of the law.
8. We urge the enactment OF
legislation making compulsory the
equipment OF all public buildings OF

DEMOCRATS EuLOG|zE
WILSON TO THE LIMIT

A regular democratic county con-
vention was held In Liberty theater
last Tuesday. and with It came the
usual number of cloudbursts such
as are always in evidence when q real
democratic convention 10 held.
Commissioner D. c. Mcdonald. as
chairman Of the democratic coun-
ty central committee. called the
convention to order and Judge H.
w. Edwards acted A. temporary
secretary. Mr.. Mcdonald. after
paying glowing tributes to the ma
tional administration, and after
pointing with great pride to the rec
ord Of Woodrow Wilson as we'll as
the loyal support Of Senators Pitt
man and Newlands. he announced
that the first order Of business would
be the selection of temporary
chairman. And with that first or
der of business 'they were on In
bunch" Matt Heron Immediately
placed In nomination the name of
Thos. e. Haley. who has for forty
years been recognized as the demo-
cratic war horse of Nevada. District
Attorney Zurich placed In nomination
D. C. Mcdonald, and when the votes
we're counted. 1t was found that
Haley had rolled up 26, as against
10 for Mcdonald. Mr.. Haley neatly
thanked the convention for the honor
and announced that the next order
of business would be that of select
ing a temporary secretary. j. p.
tPres) Dray was placed in nomina-
tion, and 10 and behold. the op-
posing faction never said word.
Mr.. Dray was elected by acclamation.
Then came the selection of SER
geant at arms. This was signal for
further trouble. There was some
discussion as to whether the conven-
tion should select two such officers,
or whether one might be sufficient
to care for the arduous duties which
all could foresee this officer would
have to perform during the day.
James McDonough and Thomas Wv
ian were nominated, but Mr.. Nc
Donough declined the honor and Mr.,
Vivian was elected Due to the able
handling of matters by Chairman
Haley during the day the sergeant
at arms did not find as much diff
Guilty as had been expected.
After the selection of temporary
officers a recess was declared to af-
ford the chairman an opportunity to
select his committees, and when the
convention reconvened, Chairman
Haley announced his selections as
follows:
Committee on credentials-Al
Marsh, d. C. Mcdonald, c. E. Nc
Ginnis, A. R. Whitehead, w. J. Du-
val.
Committee on organization and
order of business-Lane Pearl, o. M.
