DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
Plank Adapted Providing For
Reorganization Of Party in
The County
LUCE RO CHOSE N
Delogates Go Instructed For
Editor of La y0z as Delegate
To st. Louis Convention

The democratic convention for San
Miguel county Saturday afternoon, at.
ter warm but good-natured contest,
nominated Antonio Lucero as the
choice Of the fourth district for dele
gate to the national convention at st.
Louis over o. A. Larrazolo. Delegates
to the territorial convention were elect
ed and rather interesting resolutions
were passed. The most notable &C.
ton was the endorsement OF . resolu.
tion favoring the organization OF the
democratic party on strict party lines.
When the committee on resolutions
had reported through its chairman, @.
A. Larrazolo, w. G. Hayden made de-
cided objection to clause which de-
clared the party had suffered by rea-
son Of its affiliation with other politi-
cal organizations, urging that the
clause was slap both to the demo-
Gratis who had found 1t expedient to
consent to organization and to those
Of other parties who had Joined with
them. Mr.. Larrazolo in an eloquent
defense Of the resoluti ons denied that
: a slap had been given to any one.
E. G. de Baca, In a forcible speech,
agreed with Mr.. Hayden and defend
ed those democrats who had united
with other parties. J. D. w. Veeder
defended the resolutions. A. A. Jones,
in pacific speech, moved to strike QUE
the Objectionable part of the resolu-
tion. Mr. Larrazolo thereupon asked
leave for the committee to amend the
resolutions, which was given The
committee then submitted the follow.
ing amended resolutions, which were
adopted without dissenting vote:
The Resolutions.
We, the democrats Of the county Of
San Miguel hereby proclaim our allie.
glance and fidelity to the principles Of
the democratic party. and pledge our
earnest support to those principles.
We heartily endorse and approve the
position taken by the Territorial demo.
cratic central committee in the matter
Of statehood for New Mexico, and de.
clare that we prefer statehood jointly
with Arizona, If our just claim to sep
arate admission is denied us, rather
than continue longer under the un
American system Of government we
have so patiently endured for upward
OF fifty years.
We hereby tender the sincere ex
preston OF our warm and heartfelt
gratitude to the Hon. w. R. Hearst
for his patriotic and disinterested ef
forts in behalf of the people Of New
Mexico.
Anticipating that the effort now be
ing made in congress 70 secure the pas
sage Of a bill granting statehood e
the territories, may fail, we reques
the Territorial democratic convention
which is to be held in Silver City OF
the 18th inst, to instruct our delegate
10 the national convention Of st. Loui
to work earnestly for the insertion Q
a plank in the national platform 4
be adopted by said convention, plede
ing the party absolutely to the gran
ing Of statehood.

The decision grew out Of a suit in
which the Purcell Water company at.

Judge Townsend held that under

The circumstances which b,onght
about the suit are that Purcell once
