COUNTY PLATFORM
FOR REPUBLICANS

County candidates OF both political
parties met in the court house Tues
day afternoon to name central COM
mittees and adopt platforms. The Re-
publicans completed their platform,
but left several vacancies open on the
central committee. to be filled at a
future meeting. The Democrats COM
pleted their central committee, but
left the platform matter in the hands
of a committee, to report later The
Republican county platform is as
follows:
We, the candidates on the Republi-
can ticket in Humboldt County, Ne
vada, do, in accordance with the laws
of the State of Nevada, adopt a Re-
publican Party Platform in said
County as follows:
We approve, endorse and are in full
and enthusiastic accord with the poll
cies declared by and the wholesome
and far-reaching principles in the Ma
tional Platform adopted at the Ma
tional Convention of the Republican
party in the month of June, 1920, and
we pledge to the voters of our county
fealty and unstinted support of the
principles of government SO clearly
set forth in that National Platform.
We believe that the great Republi-
can party in its deliberations at the
convention above mentioned, deter
mined wisely and well when it nomi-
mated Senator Harding for President
and Governor Coolidge for Vice
President of the United States, and
we believe that when they have as
sumed the duties of their respective
offices that wise determinations and
statesmanlike performance of their
respective duties will attest the wis
dom Of the Party in offering them to
the American people as the candidates
of that great Party for the year 1920.
We pledge ourselves to economic
administration of the Office to which
we aspire, fully realizing the appall-
ing orgy of profiigate and reckless
expenditure of public monies now 60
ing on by the national administration
and likewise realizing that the people
Of the Nation, of this State, and of
this County, have right to demand
more economic and efficient govern
pnesnt at the hands of their officers
ttan those now being meted to them
by the officers who are members OF
the Democratic Party.
We are deeply proud of the candi-
date that the Republicans of Nevada
have nominated for United States
Senator from Nevada, the Hon. Tasker
L. Oddie, and we are likewise proud
of the selection of the members of
that party in the State for Congress
man from Nevada, Hon. Samuel s.
Arentz. We believe that when they
have taken their places in the Con-
gress of the United States this State
will be ably represented in the upper
and lower House of Congress, and we
cheerfully pledge to each of those
gentlemen our jealous support.
We believe that the taxes of this
County can be reduced without i'm
pairing efficient government and we
pledge ourselves to use every means
within our personal and official power
to that end if elected to the Offices to
which we aspire.
