business demands. The policy OF the
present administration In giving en-
ployment to labor, and protection TO our
various industries is a solution OF the
financial question. We are opposed TO all
financial heresies which call for cheap
money, believing as We do that all
money issued by the government should
be of uniform and equal value.
We congratulate the country upon the
great success of the present national ad-
| ministration, in which OF president
has distinguished himself as a states
man and a patriot in dealing with do
| nestle and foreign affairs; n in which
he has shown so much wisdom in up
| holding the honor of this nation
We heartily approve the wisdom OF
the annexing of the Hawaiian islands,
and we favor the retention by this gov
eminent Of all territory acquired by our
| army and navy where justice and hui
mainly demand it. We favor the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal under
the immediate supervision and exclu-
| sive control Of the United States gov
eminent. the necessity for the canal
having been more strongly emphasized
by recent events.
We congratulate Governor Otero upon
| the success of his administration and
commend him for his efforts in behalf of
! good government n the advancement
of the material and financial interests
Of New Mexico, both at home inc
abroad, n we ender to the president
of the United States our thanks for the
appointment of a governor from the
ranks of the people, a man who by rea-
son of his lifetime residence in New
Mexico, and of his intimate acquaint-
ance with the needs of our people is best
able to perform the duties Of an exec
| utive in this territory.
We heartily indorse the present Re-
publican administration in all of It's
branches During the brief period In
| which the present executive has occu-
pied the position he fills, New Mexico
has attained a place in the hearts Of the
| American people never before accorded
it. The patriotism of citizens in send
ing forth a larger proportion of soldiers
to the Spanish-American war than Is
credited to any other state or territory,
and the bravery of our soldiers dis
| played on the field of battle, are d guar
| antee of our right to full citizenship
in the American union. We point with
| pride to the immortal record made by
the New Mexico squadron of Trough
Riders in the battles Of La asi ma
and "a Juan, by which was established
the intelligence, patriotism n indom-
liable courage of our people, II where

der to the relatives and friends of those
who fell in the struggle for humanity,
| justice and civilization, the heartfelt
| sympathies of a grateful people. We
| congratulate the nation on the ra'u:n Of
| peace, and heartily indorse President
Mckinley upon the careful, patriotic
and successful in which the dig
nifty of this nation has been preserved In
the war with Spain.
We congratulate the people of New
| Mexico upon the appointment by the
president Of the present able and fear
less judiciary, and commend the men,
| bers thereof for their devotion to duty
and their answering interest In the ad-
ministration Of Justice.
The present ongre of the United
States is Republican in politics, and any
acts of that body f~avorableto New Mex
leo are Republican measures and cannot
be credited to the efforts of a Demo-
cratic delegate from this territory.
The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been consist
ent on the question of the admission OF
the territory as a state. We favored the
admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united In their
opposition against it. We still favor Its
admission, believing that there Is no
good ana SUBSTANTIAL reason Iof Keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election Of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican pol
itics and principles.
Our heartfelt gratitude Is extended to
the army and navy for their noble sac
rifices in behalf of their country, and
their brilliant achievements on land and
water; and we emphasize our apprecla-
ton of those brave soldiers known as
the Rough Riders" to whose ranks our
territory has so literally contributed,
and whose acts of bravery and heroism
have inspired the world with a new
faith and confidence in American cour-
age and valor.
We are in favor of increasing both
our. army and navy to q size common
surate with the interest of the country,
thereby placing the nation in aipositlon
that will insure it a rlghtful influence
and power among the nations OF the
earth. We believe in the expansion of
American industry and commerce, and
in the full protection. Of American citi-
zens everywhere; whichever the Ameri-
can flag has been hoisted in the name of
humanity and freedom, we believe 1t
should stay until every vestige Of des-
potism has been removed.
