THE CAMPAIGN is ON.
Democratic Convention Aftermath -
The Platform and New Central
Committee Political
Pick-ups.


The Democracy concluded it's bowling
time on Saturday by having a ratification
meeting on the plaza, but the chill winds
were significant. At the convention Judge
Boone, of Deming, placed Mr.. Joseph in
nomination as candidate for delegate in
congress and after secondary speeches
by many the nomination was made by
rising vote. Mr.. Joseph made a speech
of acceptance, and, the platform having
been adopted and the new committeeman
named, the convention adjourned.
The platform demands the admission OF
New Mexico as a state and declares that
only through the reelection of Mr..
Joseph can this be accomplished. 1t
favors the repeal of that portion OF the
public school law providing for the pay
ment OF poll taxes and charges that 1t
enables INSCRIPTIONS politicians to utter.
ly destroy the fundamental principle OF
the elective system. 1t declares for re-
duction in the existing fee system, but lts
language ON this point is extremely eau
tious; wants law enacted providing for
new territorial board of equalization;
demands the reconstruction OF the terri
tory's financial system which will prohibit
1.-THE Infamous Santa Fe ring composed OF
unscrupulous Republican politicians from
holding hundreds of thousands OF dollars
of territorial funds in the bank OF tile
ring, at a profit to themselves OF fully
$50 900 annually" 1T asks that the coun-
ty offices of sheriff and collector be eepa-
rated. 1t declares the present system OF
registration fraud, designed to dis
franchise voters who are opposed to the
dominant party. 1t denounces the Re-
publican party for it's slanderous references
to that noble order, the Knights OF
Labor" referring to them rs White Gaps.
Denounces those pnbltc officials who are
members of an oaih'bound order sworn to
protect each other, ETC., etc. On the SUBJ
ject of silver the platform says:
ave favor the restoration OF silver to
its place as money metal and demand
it's free and unlimited coinage at a ratio OF
sixteen grains of silver to one OF gold"
An earnest effort was made to have the
platform demand a repeal OF the law
abolishing the $500 exemption on taxable
property, but W. B. Childers and W. s.
Hopewell succeeded in knocking out this
clause.
