clpleS and condemns the Democratic
administration for its many shortcom-
ings The platform says:
The Republican party of the state
of Nevada, in convention assembled,
through its duly elected delegates, de-
clares its unchanging faith and adher-
] ence in the government so eloquently
stated by the immortal Abraham Lin
coln-'of the people, by the people,
and for the people,
And we hereby pledge ourselves to
| the support of those great principles
| of national government, which have
1 heretofore guided the Republican par
| ty, and which when ii has been in
power, has brought this great country
/ into prosperity and peace at home and
| honor and respect abroad We affirm

/ the maintenance of individual liberty,
| the upbuilding of all our vast re-
/ sources, the cultivation of peace at
home, the honort and perpetuity OF
| those American ideas of national in
| dependence and integrity for which
our fathers fought.
I'VE affirm that the achievements
of the national Republican party
stand forth as the brightst pages of
our national history; and that our
! greatest progress in all things that
go to make a great people one and
united, has been under and during
Republican administrations.

the elective franchise, and pledge
our candidates to the support of the
amendment to the constitution of the
United States giving women the full,
complete and equal right with men
in the exercise of all voting privi-
leges.
Protective Tariff Needed
1--WE stand, as our party has always
stood, in favor of protective tariff,
and we believe, as was said by ex-
President Roosevelt. that our 'phe-
nomenal prosperity has been won un-
der a tariff. made in accordance with
certain fixed principles, the most i'm
portant of which is an avowed deter
mination to protect the interests of
the American producer, business
man. wage worker and farmer. alike.
We firmly believe that at the close
of the great European war, now
pending the necessity for the resto-
ration of the protective policy of the
Republican party will be absolutely
imperative or else the wages of our
workmen. the manufactures of our
people, the products of our farmers,
will be at the mercy of the cheap
labor and cheap products of foreign
nations. and that poverty and disas-
ter will prevail in these United
States.
To Reduce Cost OF Living
Eve realize that the cost of living
has greatly increased and is con-
stantly increasing and that something
should be done to obtain relief: to
that end we pledge our representa-
tives in Congress TO join in any and
all measures that may tend to re-
duce the cost of living to the lowest
possible price consistent with pru-
dent business management and the
American standard.
"Wasteful Waiting" Condemned
I'VE condemn the 'wasteful watch
ing and 'watchful waiting policies
of the present administration. We
condemn the vacillating action of the
present administration in dealing
with the Mexican situation. We con
denim President Wilson's want OF
firmness and decision of character
whereby our flag has been insulted
our citizens murdered in cold blood
our women outraged, and the proper
ty of our citizens contiseated, and
the honor of the United States made
subservient to a lawless people.
"War Taxation Denounced
I'VE denounce the profigate waste
of money wrung from our people by
unjust war taxation in times of peace
