read the following. which the COM
mittee recommended for adoption:
The deocratic party Of White Pine
county, Nevada, In county convention
assembled. adopts the following dec
larations upon which we confidently
appeal to the voters of our county to
support Woodrow Wilson for presi.
dent, Thomas X. Marshall for vice
president, as we'll as the nominees of
our state and this. our county con-
yention.
We heartily endorse and reaffirm
the declarations of both our national
and state democratic platforms.
We heartily endorse, reaffirm and
commend the democratic national adj
ADMINISTRATION for its conservative, pro-
gressive and humane legislation un-
der the leadership Of that calm. pa
tient and courageous patriot and
statesman, Woodrow Wilson.
We solemnly remind our people
that our president. with the support
of a loyal democracy, while Europe
was being devastated by sword and
fire. by his calm judgment, wisdom
and unfaltering patriotism, averted
from our country the nnspeakable
horrors of war with its consequent
destruction. He has protected the
homes OF millions of families; ex-
tended a strong and benefcient hand
over the youth of this generation and
generations to come by his refusal
to act with undue haste in any grave
crisis or on any grave questions af-
fecting the general welfare of our
great nation; wise and able counsel
he has always received; that our
present state of peaeefulness, pros
perity and unbounded increase in
wealth to the extent of forty-one bill
lion of dollars is due to the able lead
ership of the peerless Mr.. Wilson.
He has provided for our disabled
government employees; lifted the un-
just burden from the Bonded back
of labor; wrested from Wall street
its power over our money and given
to the farmers of the country direct
credit at low rate Of interest by his
passage of the rural credit law.
His great heart and his humane
Judgment is clearly demonstrated in
1fu tfnnrnftu ofnnd faEan In hahoIf
of the child labor bill. which. thru
his efforts alone was finally passed
through congress.
We commend his stand on the
Mexican question as being one of
excellent Judgment and being. one
displaying the greatest statesman
ship. As we did years ago, they are
now struggling for independence and
have the i~nalienable right to work
out their own salvation and solve
their own internal questions by what
means their best judgment dictates.
We find that the record Of Wood
Wilson as president of the Unit
ell States has been the most progress
i've II all history. That 1t surpasses
ali Others in merit. in principle and
i'll justice.
While the enactment of the most
recent eight-honr law. by which a
national disaster was averted, is
fresh in our minds, and while the
selfish opponents of our great pres
ident are trying to throw dust in our
eyes, in their feeble efforts to take
from him the great credit to which
he is entitled, lat us cast our eyes
briefly over his record during the
past four years and see If We do not
find considerably more beneficial Leg
islation along thhe same line. We
find this:
%. An eight-hour law apply
ing to work done for the government
as well as work done by the govern
ment.
CD. An eight-hour law applying
to female employees In the District
of Columbia, ove which congress
has jurisdiction.
t3). An eight-hour provision fof
p~ostoffice clerks and carriers.
(4). An eight-hour provision
applicable to civilians, engaged in
the manufacture of ordnance and
powder for the government.
81. An eight-hour provision as
to the mining of all coal to be used
by the navy.
CO. The department Of labor
law creating a department with a
secretary who shall be and now is a
member OF the presidents cabinet.
We commend the government of
our state under the leadership of
Hon. Emmett d. Boyle. and we be-
lieve that this able administration
will be the means of placing Nevada
in the democratic column for many
