Be it resolved by the Republicans OF
Chaves county, New Mexico, in conven-
| tion assembled:
| 1. We deeply mourn the death of the
late President Mckinley, and most sim
cerely regret the manner in which it oc-
Cured, thoroughly believing that no
man was more universally loved by his
| lfellowmen, that no man was possessed
of more character, honor and ability,
and that no man has left greater her.
itage to his countrymen. His public
career was distinguished by acts of
greatness, benevolence. and humanity,
and his daily life, at home and in pub
lio conctit1ta on eyarla etip Or monument
to his memory, and will forever exist in
the minds of every American as living
example of true greatness.
2. We most unqualifiedly and unre-
administration and commend to the
earnest consideration of all voters the
benefcent results of the past six years
Of Republican management, the wise
dent Roosevelt, and his most able corps
of assistants, the upholding of our ma
tion's honor in all parts of the world,
and the successful management of the
Philippine Islands, and the high regard
and respect with which our nation and
our citizens are held abroad as result
of our presidents manly course and his
unflinching adherence to duty.
3. We most heartily endorse the ex-
cellent services of the Hoi.. Bernard s.
Rodey, our delegate in congress, for his
constant care of the interests of the ter
ritory and her people, for his prompt at
t1a richa Of n ,cfi re-,
and for his untiring efforts to secur the
admission of our territory to statehood.
4. We demand the early admission of
New Mexico to statehood, fully believ-
ing that this will bring to our country
and people advantages not otherwise to
be obtained, and we favor with such ad-
mission a proper grant of lands for edu-
cational and other purposes.
5. We further commend to the earn
est consideration of the people of Chav-
es county, the excellent administration
of the Hon. Miguel A. Otero, governor
of the Territory of New Mexico and as
an effective evidence of his wise policy,
we point with pride to the present Hros-
porous condition of every portion of our
territory. Never before in the history
of the territory have the wheels of in
dustry moved with greater rapidity
than during the past two years; never
was there greater indications of a
bright and prosperous future for our
territory than now; never before in the
history of the territory has her de-
mands for national legislation looking
to her welfare been more earnestly
and never before has there
been greater confidence on the part Of
capitalists, settlers and homeseekers of
the ultimate triumph of the territory's
resources. No administration has ever
secured the enactment of better laws
looking to the inducement of capital |
for the development of our industries
than that Of Governor Otero.
6. We favor the creation Of a new
county with Portales as it's county seat |
and with proper boundaries to secure a |
sufficient amount of taxable property
for it's maintenance and believe that
the rapid growth of that section of the
country entities it's people to this rec
ognition.
7. We call the attention o. the voters
of Chaves county to the rapid growth
of our town and county during the past
two years. to the vast number of hon
orable, intelligent and upright citizens
that have during that time cast their
lot with us, as an evidence of the nec-
essity of honest, energetic and thor
oughly capable county officials.
