RESOLUTIONS.
We, the republicans of Socorro
county, in convention assembled,
at Socorro, New Mexico, on this
the 9th day of October, 1906,
again renew our allegiance to
and faith in the principles
of the republican party.
Those principles and policies as
carried out by its able and efficient
servant have made us progressive
and a prosperous people. We re-
affirm our confidence and abiding
faith in the wisdom and patriotism
of President Roosevelt. His pol
icies, both national and inter
national, and the great interest
he has taken in behalf of Ameri-
cans and American interests
should secure for him the con-
fidence and admiration of every
true American citizen regardless
of party affiliations.
We thoroughly endorse and
approve of the actions of our re-
publican officials of Socorro coun-
ty for the past two years, and un-
reServedly commend their honesty
and business like administration
of the affairs of the county.
The able and efficient services
rendered the territory of New
Mexico by our delegate in con-
gress, Honorable William H.
Andrews, entitle him to thethanks
of our people; and it is with
unmeasured pride that we pledge
to him our united support in
the coming election.
In the chairman of the terri
torial central committee, Hon
orable II. o. Bursum, we rec
ognize not only a loyal and con-
sistent republican, but also an
able and energetic leader; and
we unquaiifiedly commend the
manner in which he has dis
charged his duties as such chair
man during the past two years,
and, further, that we renew our
unqualified allegiance to him and
unswervinglv believe in his
honesty and integrity.
We pledge our candidates for
county Offices, when elected, to
careful and economic use of
the public funds; and we promise
that they will conduct their differ
ent offices solely in the interests
of the taxpayers and citizens of
Socorro county.
We endorse the enabling act
passed by the Fifty-ninth con-
gress of the United States pro-
viding for the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as one
state; we recognize the Hamilton
bill as a most just and liberal
measure, and pledge our support
thereto.

ton resulted in the choice of the
following candidates:
