We, the republicans of Socorro coun-
ty, New Mexico, in delegate convention
assembled at the city of Socorro. this
I'd day of October, A. ID. 1902, pledge
ourselves anew to the great funda-
mental principles of the republican
party, that, with wise administration,
have brought to America unexampled
prosperity and excited the administra-
ton and wonder of the civilized world,
the democratic party of the United
States only excepted.
We endorse the eminently success
full n statesmanlike administrations
of William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt, and point with pride to the
wise things they have done and the
unwise things they have left undone.
AS to the two comparatively new
problems of trusts and labor versus
capital, we stand with our two great
leaders, Roosevelt and Hanna.
We commend the faithful, honest
and persistent efforts in behalf of the
people of New Mexico of our eloquent
B.. S. Rodey, and instruct the terri
torial delegate to be chosen by this
convention to vote for his renomina-
ton.
We commend the good work of our
last member of the territorial council
from this district, Hon. c. G. Cruick-
shank, who, as chairman of the COM
mittee on finance, was a watch dog of
the territorial treasury anu was proof
as well against improper blandish-
ments as against threats of political
humiliation.
We commend the faithful and eff
cient services of the republican Off
Gals of this county.
We pledge our nominees for mem
bers of the legislature, in the event of
election, to work and vote for a terri
torial statute requiring all classes Of
property to be assessed for taxation in
the county where the same is located,
regardless of the owners residence.
We further pledge said nominees to
vote and work for a division of this
judicial district into at least two dis
trict attorney districts, to the end that
the business of the territory and coun-
ty may beg more promptly and eff.
GENTLY dispatched.
We again appeal to the congress of
the United States for permission to
change the name of the commonwealth
in which We live to hat of the state
of New Mexico" and pledge our earn
est efforts in helping to bring about a
consummation so devoutly to be
wished.
Backed by a record that is known of
all men and with the pledges here
made, we confidently appeal to the in
t%elligent voters of this county Tor their
support. Respectfully submitted.
