REPUBLICANS MEET
AND NOMINATE TICKET

! majority for the candidates of that
party than ever our county has given
before.
In the nomination of Charles f.
! Hughes of New York as the Repub-
lican standard bearer and with
Charles w. Fairbanks as his running
, mate, the Republican party has
placed to the fore, men of ability
and strength; men whose actions will
be for greater America and the max
ing of America for Americans first,
last and all the time; our flag honor
ed in every land and the protecting
hand of American outstretched to
Americans In every cline.
The wave of republicanism is
sweeping its irristible way across the
continent from sea to sea and on the
1th day OF next November, we truly
believe that victory will crown our
efforts, and the strengthening. guild
ing and protecting hard of repub-
licanism will be rewarded and
clasped again by people who have
lived to condem the vacillating policy
Of democracy, and who will welcome
once again the party which has
righted all wrongs and brought the
United States to its place among the
nations of the earth.
In this belief we pledge ourselves
10 the people of our country to do our
duty in assisting In giving to Re-
publican president that support which
is justly his is his law-making body.
In such action we espouse the candid
acy of the Hon. Samuel Platt, as IA
candidate for the United States
Senate and pledge to him our fealty.
As Nevadans we know the life history
of the candidate and believe his true
and steadfast in all ways to teh well
.are of Nevada. As his running
mate there has been given us the
triod and true T.. Z. Roberts whose
history has been that of one from Ne
vada and for Nevada. and Nevada for
him.
Douglas county stands as one of the
foremost counties of the state and
'ons has been counted among the Re-
publican ranks. While beneath the
standard of republicanism the
county has long fionrished still our
hopes lie In the future and the
granting OF those boons which de-
nocracy has failed to grant
We know. and stand ready TO pro-
luce the proof that in our mountains
here is located one of natures great
st sites for an impounding dam: be-
ow lie thousands of acres of tiIlable
soil awaiting the life-giving 1roughts
rom the snow-elad peaks. De-
nocracy has promised that govern
nent aid would be given In the
reation of the dam and the imponnd-
.ns OF the waters but so far there has
oeen nothing but promises. We be-
.ieye that the Republican party will
ae slow to promise but quick TO act
and with the election of the Repub-
lican leaders Douglas county will
blossom in its entirety as one great
ferdant field
We promise TO the citizens of
Douglas county fair, square, saving
and economical administration of
county affairs. We believe in a prop
ar and equal system of taxation, Civ
ing rich and poor alike the same rate
and ratio and believe the other coun-
Ties OF the state should be placed up
on the same basis.
Our county roads should be made
the best within the state and so
maintained. A proper system should
be devised for the building of the
roads which should give the greatest
degree of efficiency with the least
possible cost.
With these thoughts in view we
pledge our candidates to the voters
of Douglas county who will be for the
people at all times. upholding and en-
forcing the laws. practicing economy
and preventing extravaganza and do
ing those things for the upbuilding of
their community.
