Be it resolved by the Republicans of
Santa Fe County in convention assem-
bled:
First. That we again endorse the
principles of the great Republican
party as contained in it's Philadelphia
platform of 1900, and as contained in
the declaration of principles of that
party at the Ration convention of
1902. That we heartily endorse the
administration of these principles in
the conduct of national, territorial and
county affairs under which the nation
has prospered at home and gained
prestige abroad. The Territory has
reduced it's debt, and rate of interest
thereon, while at the same time in
creasing taxable value and reducing
the rate of taxation, and that Cover
nor Otero personally, has contributed
largely to bring about this gratifying
condition by his earnest and untiring
attention to the public business of the
Territory That we congratulate the
taxpayers of this county upon the i'm
proved condition that exists, under
administration, and ask all
citizens to contrast our present condi-
tions with those that existed under
Democratic rule. We especially con-
gratulate our county commissioners
upon the untiring efforts they are max
ing to compromise our enormous
county debt. and pledge them our
hearty support in all their efforts in
that direction.
Second. That we believe the wise
and patriotic administration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as President of the
United States entities him to re-
newed term in the great Office of Pres
ident, and that the convention at Las
Vegas to be held on the 10th of March
should select delegates to the national
who are pledged to the sup
port of Theodore Roosevelt for his
as President
Third. That we are strongly in fav-
Dr. of the admission of New Mexico as
a state of the union with it's present
name and boundaries, but are utterly
opposed to such admission with any
change of name or boundaries.
Fourth. That in the death of M. A.
Hanna, the nation has lost wise and
patriotic statesman-th party fear
less and able leader, and the great
mass of the people tried; firm and
true friend, and that our respectful
is hereby extended to his
oereaved family in their affliction.
Fifth. Resolved, That a copy of
:hese resolutions be certified to the
convention at Las Vegas
and to our delegate in Congress, and
hat the same be published in the New
