The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1906-10-25

If the enthusiasm aroused at last
nights rally is a fair indication, the
Democrats are going to roll up big
ger majority in Chaves county than
ever before There are many symp-
toms of Democracy, among which
talk is prominent. The final test, how
ever, is in the voting, booth on cleo
ton day, and all the speakers last
night emphasized the importance or
every Democrat going to the polls and
voting. All the arguments of the
campaign avail nothing if they do
not arouse the voters to this final
demonstration of their Democracy.
There were several able speeches
made by various candidates at the
court house last night, and all made
good impressions. The Record will
devote more space, however, to the
address of Hon. ]. o. Cameron than
to the others. His was the kind of
a talk that reads even stronger in
print than it sounds from the ros-
trum On the other nand. the words
and music and the enthusiasm of the
audience are an essential part of
such glowing eloquence as fell from
the silver tongue of Capt. Bujac or
bubbled from the overf1owing heart
of Judge Gatewood. These things
cannot be reproduced in cold type.
The meeting was called to order
by County Chairman Burrus, who
asked Judge Gatewood to state the
object of the meeting. And. by the
way, Lucius Dills, the only anti-Bry-
an Democrat in the PecoS Valley,
having secured written permission
from the county central committee
to attend the rally, occupied a front
seat and led the applause after the
first round or two.
Judge Gatewood stated that as he
understood it this was a Democratic
love feast-and everybody knows
what tnat means to a Democrat. To
him it meant more than he could
tell. For thirty years he had been a
Democratic voter and had never
scratched ticket. He reviewed the
history of the Democratic party from
of the Revolution the destinies of
the new nation were placed in the
hands of the fathers of Democracy.
Since the hour of it's birth the nation
mas been building upon Democratic
principles, until now it has become
the greatest government and the
leading nation of the world. We have
much to be proud of in the fathers
of Democracy. We are also proud OF
the Democratic party of the present
which now, as always, stands for
honesty. for economical administra
tion of public affairs, and upnolds
the fundamental law of the nation
as written in the Constitution. We
have much to hope for in the future
With the great, grand and glorious
leader Bryan, whose life and whose
character stand for good citizenship
and for the principles of Democracy
with such a leader we may look for
ward hopefully, seeing in the radiant
dawn the rising sun of victory for
the banner of the people
Judge. Gatewood referred to Will
lam r. Hearst as a child of fortune
leading a great fight for the common
people. Coming down to the Terrific
ry of New Mexico, the speaker ask
ed, Where is the Republican who
can point to one black mark in the
record of Democratic administrations
or representation of New Mexico?'
Delegate Ferguson, he said, had ac
complished more than all the Repub
