THE RATION CONVENTION

| The Republican county convention of
San Miguel county met in the Court
| House at Las Vegas on yesterday pur-
| suant to call. Eugepio Romero was
elected president: and a. j. Rogers, Jr.,
secretary; 3. H. Forsyth, 1st vice pres
| ident; James McQuintana I'd vice pres
ident; e. II. Salazar and N. Segura in
terpreters. The following resolutions
We're adopted with 3s.6 one -5sen:ir 3
vote, that OF larganlo Romero:
The Republican party OF the county
OF San Miguel, in convention assem-
bleu, reaflirms its allegiance to the par
ty that has given protection to the in
dustries of this territory and the ma
ton, thereby creating good times
throughout our county. Republican
principles as declared in the national
platform adopted at Philadelphia in
1900 are responsible for the prosperous
industrial conditions which prevail
throughout the United States and we
voice the opinion of all Republicans of
this territory in demanding that con-
gress keep its hands off the present
tariff law Let well enough alone is
the opinion of our people, and tariff
tinkering is but the opening wedge to
disturb business condi ions. All trades
and industries are thriving and the
very discussion of proposed changes in
the tariff is a menace to prosperity and
business confidence.
While deploring the untimely death
of President Mckinley, we recognize in
President Roosevelt one in whom the
country can and does safely rely. Our
people know him more intimately than
they have known any other president
and they rely upon the words of en-
used by him in address
ing our people when we had the honor
of entertaining him as cur guest.
We commend him for his wisdom in
a policy in accord with that |
by our late martyred presi- |
dent, and believing thai his admins |
tration is for the best interests of our l
people both poor and rich, and that it |
rebounds to the honor and glory of our |
common country, we heartily commend |
the same, and we hereby instruct our
delegates to the convention to nomi- !
nate candidate for delegate to con-
gress. which IS tcSgGer, :, IL TIC City of i
Ration on October 49, 1902, to present a |
4
vocate it's passage commencing the |
of President Roosevelt, and |
pledging the support of the delegates |
from New Mexico, to the Republican |
national convention to be held in 1904, |
for his denomination.
We endorse the administration Of !
Governor M. A. Otero. In his appoint
ment the president made selection of
the choice of all the Republicans of
New Mexico. During his entire career
as governor of New Mexico he has been
guided by q desire to so conduct the
public affairs as to reflect credit not
only upon himself but the entire peo-
pie of the territory without regard to
political opinion or beliefs.
Every Republican convention in this
territory for years has made demand
for the admission of New Mexico into
The ssterhood of states. We repeat
that demand and in doing so most
heartily commend and endorse the ef-
'orts of our delegate in congress, Ber-
G ID ,fT+A
lood bill through the lower house of
congress and extend to him every pos
sible assistance in his work before the
senate and in the securing of the pas
sage of the bill by that body. The Re-
publican party of the United States,
through it's national platform, has re-
peatedly stated that the party was in
,avor of the admission of New Mexico
and we now call upon those United
States senators who helped draft those
platforms to keep their promises and
lot permit it to be said by the opposi-
lion as we'll as by leading Republicans
those planks in the several national
platforms We're mere political bum
combe.
We most heartily endorse the admin
ent county officials. Every dollar Of
he public funds collected is accounted
'or and all public debts are paid as
'ast as they accrue. We point to this
,,;+l, ,,r;5a ood coll attantiop IN tho |
state of affairs that existed in this
county when it's affairs and the public
funds were in the hands of the So
,alled Union party.
