voters of Santa Fe county, in regular
convention assembled, express our allie
| glance to the principles of the Philadel-
phia platform of 1905, the adherence to
which is synonymous with national
honor, progress and prosperity.
We mourn with the nation the cruel
and untimely deaf&.~ of the illustrious
citizen, brave soldier, and gentle and
sagacious statesman, the late William
Mckinley, and at the same time give
expression to a feeling of horror at the
red handed assassins who preach anar-
chy We join in the demand for legisa-
ton that will root out these enemies of
humanity.
We admire sincerely and have un-
bounded confidence in that typical Am
erican President Theodore Roosevelt
who is so faithfully and successfully
carrying out the policies outlined by
his predecessor, and is meeting the mo-
mentous new questions of the day with
the craftsmanship and the courage so
characteristic of him, who is the true
friend of the west as he is of the south,
the north and the east. His unwavering
devotion to the best interests of the ma
ton, his manhood and his lofty ideals,
have won him the plaudits not only of
the people of the United States but of
the world. We rejoice that the nation
has as it's executive a soldier and
statesman who leads and moulds as
well as follows public opinion, with
whom right is more than personal or
political advantage. Under his admins
tration the nation has reached a bright
pinnacle of prosperity and progress at
home and a high plane of respect and
honor abroad, such as it never before
attained.
We endorse the presidents firm stand
on the Philippine question and his de-
fense against slander of the brave SOL
diers who have planted Old Glory on
the isles of the Pacific, never to be
hauled down again The Philippines,
for the first time in their history, are
enjoying true liberty, protection, peace
and prosperity under an enlightened
form of government that is providing
provements, modern sanitation, pro-
sressive thought ana methods and Is
solving successfully the delicate and
perplexing problems which are the in
hertance of centuries of misrule, tyran-
ny, corruption and ignorance.
We believe, with President Roosevelt,
that while combinations Of capital and
massing of industrial interests are but
sign of inevitable economic progress
and are necessary to the nations indus
trial prosperity and pre-eminence at
home and abroad, yet, these combina-
tions and trusts must be compelled to
be obedient to the law, must be preven-
ted from becoming oppressors
of labor and the consumer and a. mem
ace to the liberties so dearly bought by
the fathers of the republic, must be
compelled to submit to the searchlight
of publicity and should the time ever
come when the welfare of the people
demands it, be compelled upon just
compensation to surrender their inter-
ests to the nation. If the constitution
of the United States stands in the way
of the proper control and surveillance
Of the trusts, it must be amended to
give congress, the judiciary and the
president the power for such control
and surveillance.
Our faith in the efficacy of the Re-

pressed in the Dingley tariff law, for
the protection of home industries and
securing to the laborer and mechanic
Just compensation for his toll, is unfal-
tering. We recognize that it is the pro-
tective tariff that has built up and sus-
tanned the principal industries of New
Mexico, including wool growing, stock
raising, numbering and horticulture.
Such revision Of the tariff as the exi-
gencies OF progress and the advance
ment of the nation demand, Should be
made, but we believe with President
Roosevelt that such revision should be
only aftcl due deliberation by those
who are the friends of the protective
policy and not by it's enemies.
we endorse the beneficent legislation
passed at the last session Of congress
and hail especially the passage Of the
irrigation bill as the dawn of a new era
for the nation, as an act that will give
homes to the homeseekers and will BEN
eft all sections alike for all time to
come. We express the hope that con-
gress will acquiesce in the wishes of
President Roosevelt in our relations
with Republic of Cuba, so that every
promise and pledge, implied and other
wise, will be kept as the honor of the
nation demands. We are also in hear
ty accord with President Roosevelt and
in providing for the upbuild-
of the army so that both may be ready
for any emergency and continue to be
the pride of the people.
