THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The republican party OF BernalillC
county Teallirms its allie lance TO the
principles Of that party as enunciated al
the st. Louis convention In 1895; tht
practice OF those principles has encOur
aged all our industries and again placed
New Mexico upon the high road TO pros
peTity. The enactment OF the Dingley
law has enhanced the value Of thI
property OF this territory by millions O
dollars, and the idea that either Delegate
II. h. FERGUSON or any other democrat
had anything TO do with its provisions Ol
Its passage Is too ridiculous for seriOul
consideration. The wool men know
better, tbs cattle men know bstter, w
all KNOW bl tier
We heartily endorse the national ad
miDistratiOu Of President Mckinley, tn
territorial administration OF Governor
Miguel A. 0leTO, and commend the actor
OF the T publican territorial convention
In nominating one of our leading RnC
most progressive citizens for the position
OF delegate TO the next congress Hon
Pedro Perea In In accord with both thI
territorial and national administration
and deserving the active support OF al
republicans Of this county,
We commend the legislative delegate
from this county for the active, faithful
and successful work done by them in IN
last legislative assembly In the interest
Of reform and economy In the admins
tTatlOn OF county affairs. And we beliey
In more economy aud reform In thi
direction, until the county can not Onl
live within its income. but the bOnde
Indebtedness OF the county may be wipe
out and paid of.
Believing that new county should b
created out OF the western part OF Berna
lilo and Valencia counties, we pledg
the legislative nominees Of this eOnyen
tlOn TO use their best endeayOrs in seeuT
Ing the passage OF bill creating IN
county Of Summit, and giving TO sal
county OF Summit the lands OF Berna
lilo county everything lying west O
midway between the 10th and lOoth do
gTees OF longitude.
