NEv. REPUBLICANS
ADOPT PLATFORM

When the Republican state con-
vention adjourned last week after
adopting platform, electing a
central committee and its chairman
and ignoring the suggestion for an
expression of preference for can
didates in the primary compaign,
there was no sign or symptom of
fractional differences or friction of
any character, says the Reno
Gazette.
A keynot of harmony was
sounded when delegation after dele
CATION seconded the nomination of
Silas E. Ross, of Reno, for state
chairman, and finally, to save time,
a motion made to make his election
unanimous carried without a dis
senting vote. Previously the name
of Ross had been proposed by the
Republicans in caucus.
The Republicans of Nevada to-
day stand on the threshold of the
campaign with united front. The
conduct of the convention and of
the delegates indicated that nomi-
nees will receive the full support of
the party without reservation. Fur
ther evidence of the confidence and
enthusiasm of the delegates was a
spontaneous response to the sugges-
ton of Chairman Stewart that each
member of the newly-elected body
of central committeeman pledg an
initial contribution of 500 to carry
on the work of the organization.
The full text of the platform is
as follows:

hour Of distress.

endorse the splendid administration
of President Warren G. Harding
for what this administration has
achieved:

credit at home and abroad, as evil
denced by the present market value

advanced from s3 cents to 100
cents on the dollar.
"By the establishment of the
budget system, that has placed the
business Of the country on a bust
ness footing.
"By administrative economies that
have reduced the expenditures of
the peoples money by more than
one thousand million dollars In the
current year.

ments with the principal nations

of entanglemsnts in the politics of
Europe where we are not con-
cerned.

fairs.

throughout its great history been a
