Mr.. Chairman. Delegates and Eel
low Republicans: l claim no greater
credit than. that of duty performed TO
the best of my ability. You evidently
believe that have tried TO do right
with the people, and that endeayored
TO be faithful to the great trust that
you have confided in me for a thru
time Greater praise and greater hon
or no man can aspire to, and my graf
itude to you, TO the people, will be my
inspiration for still greater effort. /
promise that whatever strength / have
whatever influence can bring to bear,
whatever effort it is possible for me
TO make, shall be for the beneft OF
this great commonwealth, the grand
est in the union. am convinced that
l will not be called upon, even though
elected in November. to take m" seal
in congress in December, 1909, for by
that time the republican party will
have redeemed its pledge for the i'm
mediate admission of New Mexico to
statehood. But in the meantime, the
confidence you have just now express
ed 10 ME to secure for the future sun
shine state the greatest possible ma
terial benefits that can be bestowed
,Inder an enabling act, grants of land
money, of federal concessions. Nor
will | neglect, because of this import
ant work, the demands of any constfJ-
uent, be his cause great or small, be
he republican or democrat or of any
other party. no matter what his creed
or nationality or nativity.
Ii is proper to call hte attention
of our people TO the liberal pension
policy Of this administration and to
say that great courtesy in complying
with my requests regarding pensions
has been extended to me and through
me to many veterans in our territory
by the honorable, the commissioner of
pensions. I have deemed it a priyi-
lege to pay prompt and careful atten-
ton to every request made of me by
veterans, their widows and orphans.
Understand, / have not secured the
pensiOns-they are granted TO and en-
titled to them by law, but / have ieft
nothing undone at any time to acceie-
rate the action of the pension bure=1,
and many pensions have been granted
within a very short space of time az
ter applications have been made, as
many veterans will bear me out, thus
benefitting those so justly entitled to
the nations bounty.
This is a republican year, thanks
to the ability of the magnificent
statesman in the white house. thanks
to the invineibility of the republican
candidate for the presidency; thanks
to the faithful administration of the
government by the republican party.
New Mexico will be no exception TO
the commemorative strongly anchored
in the republican harbor, and ! took
forward to a splendid victory at the
polls on November next for the ma
tional the territorial, the legislative
and the county tickets.
Gentlemen, a long pull, a strong
pull altogether, and, BY hooky. we will
beat them, horse, foot and dragon.
Thank you again for the great, the
magnificent honor bestowed upon me
By you, and may my deeds prove
much more eloquent than any words
