all the facts in regard to the convention
up to the time of going to press.
While the committee on credentials was
preparing their report, Gov. Thornton
was called on for few remarks. The
suggestion was greeted with liberal ap-
plause.
GOV. THORNTON SAID:
"This is an important crisis IN the his
tory of the county of Santa Fe, and l am
glad to see so many young men. among
these people before me. There are also
before mo those who have borne the
weight of many fight for Democracy in
the past" Gov. Thornton called attention
to the marked contrast between the
present condition of the county and that
which characterized it two years ago un-
der Republican misrule. The continued
success of the party, he said, is dependent
upon harmony among the Democracy
and to secure harmony and success we
must forego personal preference in some
instan ces and unite for the good of the
party. Gov. Thornton spoke of the
treatment of New Mexico in the matter
of statehood for the last forty years and
said that now, when we have for the first
time a solidly Democratic majority, we
are in a position to get statehood. In
view of this condition of affairs, we ought
to make sure of Democratic success in
the coming elections. The governor
spoke of the Importance of selecting a
man who will be credit to our territory
in the halls of national legislation. The
mention of the names of Mr.. Joseph, Mr..
Ferguson and Mr.. Manzanares as posi-
BILE nominees for delegate was each greet
ed with applause. The governor con-
cluded his remarks, amid great applause,
with an earnest appeal for harmony.
