airy chairman, and A.. T. Rogers, Jr.,

lowers occasionally got rambunctious,
but gained little.

Marguerite Romero were made a COM

The republican party of the county
of San Miguel, in convention assem-
bled, reafirms its allegiance to the
party that has given protection to the
industries of this territory and the ma
ton, thereby creating good times
throughout our country. Republican
principles as declared in the national
platform adopted at Philadelphia in
1900 are responsible for the prosper
Gus 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 of the present
tariff law. Let well enough alone is
the opinion of our people. and tariff
tinkering is but the opening wedge to
disturbed business conditions. 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 do safely rely. Our
people know him more intimately than
they have known any other president
and they rely upon the words of en-
couragement used by him in address
ing our people when we had the honor
of entertaining him as our guest.
We commend him for his wisdom in
pursuing a policy in accord with that
e~nunciated by our late martyred presi
dent, and believing that his admins
tration is for the best interests of ouI
people, both poor and rich, and hat il
rebounds to the honor and glory of oul
common country, we heartily com
mend the same and we hereby instruc'
our delegates to the convention L
nominate a candidate for delegate L
congress, which is 10 meet in the cit!
Oh Ration on October 10, 1902, to pre-
sent a resolution to said convention
and advocate its passage commendinl
the course of President Roosevelt, anC
,pledging the support OF the delegates
from New Mexico to the republican ma
tional convention to be held in 1904
for INSTRUMENTATION.
We endorse the administration o.
Governor NJ. A. Otero. In his appoint
ment the president made selection o.
the choice OF all the republicans o.
New Mexico. During his entire career
as governor Of New Mexico he has
been guided by a desire TO so conduct
the public affairs as to reflect credit
not only upon himself but the entire
people of the territory without regard
to political opinion or beliefs.
Every republican convention in thi:
