dorse his administration of the affairs
of this country, believing him to be the

and we hereby urge our delegates to
our next territorial convention, to Sc
cure the passage of a resolution en-
dorsing him as our candidate for presi-
dent in 1904
We most sincerely endorse the admin
istration of Governor M. A. Otero, as
being the wisest, aBlest and most sat
isfactory to our people and being for
the general welfare of our territory,
and we heartily commend President
Roosevelt and the late President Nc
Kinley in selecting such a man for the
governor of our territory. We commend
Governor Otero for his every act, and
believe his administration has not OILY
been for the best interest for all the
people of New Mexico, but that he has
carried out the principles of the Repub-
lican party, and that by such acts, the
Republican party is today, more united
and in accord with the national admin
istration, than ait any time in it's his
tory.
We further commend President Roose-
welt in all of his territorial appoint
ments, and particularly in his appoint
ment of the judges of New Mexico,
whose splendid records and judicial la
bors have placed their acts above sus-
picion, and made their decisions monu-
ments of even-handed justice.
We most heartily endorse the record
and every act of our delegate in con-
gress, the Hon. B. s. Rodey, whose,
tireless energy, and unceasing labors
for the welfare of adj the people of New
Mexico, have placed our territory upon
the very threshold of statehood, long
deferred right justly due our people,
and we hereby again demand of the
congress of the United States, the rec
ognition of that right, and urge the pas
sage Of the pending bill, granting the
same; and pledge our every effort to
our delegate to secure it's passage
