tion of the law for persons or corpor.
ations engaged in the sale in this ter.

making it unlawful for the Governor
to appoint to any Office whatever any
member of the legislature during the
term for which such member was
elected
4. That we are in favor of clean
elections, and therefore in favor of a
law governing elections that embody
the principles know as the Australian
Ballot System.
5. That while We recognize that
each and every citizen has the right
to advocate the enactment or non
enactment of any proposed measure,
yet We are unalterably opposed that
such right may be deposed by and be-
come subject to the methods usually
employed by lobbyists; and we desire
that each and every person seeking
to secure the enactment or non-enact-
ment of any measure at the hands
of the legislature be required before
seeking to influence any member of
the legislature to have his name pro-
perly recorded with such officer as
may be designated by the legislature,
together with the description Of such
employment as may be represented by
him before the legislature or the COM
mittees thereof. .
6. That we adopt the platform of
the Democratic convention held in
Roswell, september 4, 1906.
7. That while We are partisans, we
are also patriotic; and, therefore, we
feel that we would not discharge the
duties belonging to a patriotic citizen
of the Pecos Valley, be he Democratic
or Republican without heartily endors-
ing the action of our Governor in seek
ing to investigate the business affairs
of this Territory, and in attempting to
eliminate graft, which it seems has
been participated in by some of the
officials of this Territory.
