ADMISSION OF our territory into tue SIS
terhood of states as an inherent right
by virtue of our population, resources,
our past and present patriotism, and
our constant loyalty to the flag Of our
MO and solemn treaty obligations.
That we pledge ourselves, and the
party in New Mexico. to the hearty
| support of the platform to the hearty
"a Intddeipn4a, 40 protection, sound
| money and expansion, and to the nom
inee Of that convention, whom we be-
| lieve will and of right should be that
honored, tried, r n patriotic type
of American manhood, william Nc
kinley.
Tina we admire and reverence the
wise and patriotic ADMINISTRATION by
| President Mckinley, Of pubic affairs
an wal and peace, at home and abroad,
| and that particularly this territory Is
grateful to him ana the principles he
represents for the unprecedented pros
perity we have enjoyed during the
three years Of his administration; that
we are grateful to the president for
appointing as governor a native Of this
territory. the first in our history under
the American government, and we
most heartily endorse the administra-
| ton of Governor Otero as having been
economical, conservative n prudent
and for the best Interests Of New Mex
leo here and in the east.
We particularly commend in Cover
nor Otero his zeal and energy In or
ganizing the troops from New Mexico
| g,R sh. tgaN Nth AnaIn hv which ha
| enabled New Mexico TO furnish more
than her quota OF soldiers in less time
than was required and In hat splendid
| American regiment called the Rough
| Riders" to gain for our territory I'M
| dying fame, and for has excellent and
| voluminous reports upon the different
sections Of the territory made to the
secretary of the interior, and through
him to the president, congress and the
citizens Of the United States. which
have done 80 much to bring our great
natural advantages before the people
of the country. We believe the salar
les paid to the governor and justices
of the supreme court to be altogether
inadequate. Therefore we earnestly
pray that the bill now before congress
for an increase In the salary of those
officers be enacted into law.
And be 1t resolved, That this nven
| ton voices the republican party of our
territory In an appeal to the members
OF the house OF representatives to de-
feat the bill recently reported favor
ably by the committee on territories of
| the said house of representatives, dis
| approving the act Of the legislative as
sembly OF New Mexico entitled AN act
to create Mckinley county, being
| chapter XIX Of The session laws OF
1899. That In this proposed legislation
we perceive an attempted interference
with the right OF local self government
which should properly be submitted to
the territorial legislative assembly for
appropriate legislation thereon, and a
covert design by interested persons to
now defeat an act OF the assembly
which those same persons at the time
advocated, and that we hereby disap-
prove and distinctly condemn the pol
icy pursued In the attempted passage
OF the measure by congress.
Resolved, That the Hon. Solomon
Luna, our present able and efficient
member OF the republican national
committee, be and he Is hereby unanl-
mousiy endorsed for that position fol
the ensuing term upon such committee
with our sincere thanks and apprecia.
ton Of his valuable services thereon In
the past.
