News presents the document in full for
the consideration of its readers. 1t Is
as follows:
1.-THE republican ms OF White PIN
county. Nevada. believe in and stand
for:
America and Americanism. first of
all.
Liberty. without license. among the
people of our country, and the enforce
ment of the laws as expression of their
will.
Our country's independence new as
in 1875 of the other nations of the
world. viewing any society, associa-
ton or league of nations as an expert
ment, possible of success. but more
promising thereof IL it shall come step
by step, and without at the outset our
country's committing itself so far that
it's nationality and its resources will
be sacrificed or jeopardized before 1.-THE
success of the experiment is assured.
I'VE believe In and stand for Hard
ing and Coolidge as the opponents of
these principles, nationally. and for
eddie and Arentz as their advocates
from tho standpoint of our state, ana
inasmuch as Harding when elected
should have his hands tied IL the OPP
posing party were in control of the
congress, tho same reasons which will
prompt the voter to vote for Harding
and Coolidge should. irrespective of
personal friendships. impel the voter
to vote for Oddie and AREN'T.
I'm regard to county affairs, we de-
plore the constantly increasing cost
of county government under the exist
Ing democratic administration of our
county affairs and this during n period
when economic conditions required
and still require strict frugality In
both private and public expenditures
and particularly in our county where.
owing to the enforced curtailment OF
the mining operations n a broken
and unsettled market for livestock
and general agricultural products.
economy was and is imperatiyely re-
quired. In this connection We pledge
our county candidates TO n policy OF
the strictest economy consistent with
efficient service.
1--WE believe In and stand for good
roads and necessary public improve
ments, but believe that expenditures
for such purposes may be greatly
minimized by applying the simple
business principles and practices that
are employed by a business man in
his own affairs.
1--WE believe in any necessary EN-
Iargement of our county high school
required to meet the growing needs
of our community and therefore es-
p~ecially commend the action of our
present republican senator and as
semblymen-Messrs. Chaplin, Baird.
Chandler and Lockhart in securing
the enactment during the last session
of our state legislature of a law auth
orizing the issuance of bonds 10 rSo-
vide for such enlargement. which law
Is now embodied in chapter 22i, stat
utes of Nevada. 1891. page ss5.
1--WE particularly indorse any proper
legislation, state or national, looking
to the adequate and practicable de-
yelopment of the land and water re-
sources Of our state and in this con-
nection commend our present ropub-
lican of the legislature for
their energetic support of our state
reclamation act passed by the legisla-
ture of 1919 and now appearing as
chapter 191 of the statutes of Nevada.
1919. page S48.
1--WE further commend our present
republican members of the Legislature
for their support of the act of 1919
consolidating the railroad commission
and public service emmission lesis-
laton OF the state and extending and
charging tho authority of the public
service commission over the public
utilities of the state. which commits
sion now appears to have all the au-
thoritv granted TO such commissions
by the most enlightened and progress
siye state Of the union: suen act OF
1919 being contained in chapter 100,
statutes of Nevada. 1919, page i9s.
I'VE believe that those who Joined
our army and navy during the world
war should be given every encourage
ment and every aid TO place them up
on the same footing as those who
STAYED at home. and that such meas
ures should be adopted as shall show
cur country's gratitude and appreeia-
ton of sacrifices mad by them and
pledge the earnest support OF All
measures to that end.
" believe In the enactment of adj
dltional reasonable laws to better the
condition of the laborer and help
him enjoy the advantages OF a free
country really ruled through the bal
lot by n majority OF the people. we
oppose those doctrines which have led
TO the recent ghastly experiment and
experience of the European nations.
I'VE approve and indorse the state
and national republican platforms.
and In conclusion fe~licitate the Ameri-
can people as a whole, republicans and
democrats alike, on the near approach
of the hour when, under a republican
president ard republican congress the
real work of reconstruction of our ma

gin-economically. effectively and with
