The duly constituted representa-

the Republicans of Nevada to join
with Republicans everywhere In
maintaining the highest standards of
Americanism exemplified in the ad-
ministrations of that great galaxy of
Republican chief executives-Lincoln
Grant, Hayes, Garfield. Harrison, Nc

railroads and factories of America
vast army of unemployed and

the faith, trust and confidence of the
