DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the undersigned elected deD'o-
cratic delegates to the county con
yention of White Pine county, state
of Nevada, in meeting assembled
adopt the following county platform
We hereby reaffirm Jul allegiance
to the democi attic party L point
with pride TO the national and inter-
national achievements of the last ma
tional democratic administration
and unreservedly indorse tho princi-
pies upon which our great party is
founded: namely, that the govern
ment is the representative OF all OF
the people and that 1t should legislate
in the interest OF all and net in the
interest of the few
AS the representatives of the peo-
pie public officers should be elected
as such, ard the opportunity to hold
public Office should he available to
the poor as we'll as TO the rich, which
has been the cornerstone of this re-
public, and We hereby condemn the
adoption by the republican senate of
the policy that seats in the United
States senate are subject to sale ar
public auction to the highest bidder
for cash, as was done in the state of
Michigan and approved by the repub-
lican senate.
AS the present depression is due
to the lack OF progressive action by
the republican administration. action
in the interests of the people as a
whole, we condemn the national re-
publican administration for its fail
ure aud refusal to enact beneficial
legislation.
The record of the present repub-
lican congress condemns itself. We
point out two of the browning
achievements Of The republican adj
m~inistration, the first being the
matches record of broken promises
and the second being a reduction of
the surtax and rereal OF the excess
profit taxes in the interest of the
wealthy and the profteers.
We condemn the attitude OF the
republican administration toward the
nationwide coal strike; an attitude
Of indifference when the interests or
the public and the workers demand
governmental action. In this connec-
tion We have no sympathy with the
policy of the republican administra-
ton OF forcing wages downward and
the high cost of living not being re-
duced in proportion TO such wage re-
auctions.
AtPaDAiioh POI 'htt No.

The profteers, refuses to pass the
adjusted compensation act. which is
Tor the benefit of he ex-service men,
hose who fought and died that de-
might i've, and who can {
possibly be fully compensated
'or their sacrifices. Such action on

ration is one OF ingratitude and I
faith. 4
We recommend the continuance OF

power resources of the state and
avor a full development of the plans {
Initiated for the impounding of the 7
ioodwaters OF the Humboldt, Colo I
ado and other stream systems.
We recommend that White Pine
county take full advantage of the
of the Phipps-Dowell read
ill, which will not only give us a q
splendid highway system, but will
llso give employment to a large |
OF persons in time Of inan- l
iai depression. We indorse the road I
