..EoUAL RIGHTS TO ALL"

We, the Democrats of New Mexico,
I'm delegate convention assembled at
Roswell, again renew our pledge Of al
hgiance to those fundamental princi-
pies of Democracy as originally enunci-
ated by our first great leader. Thomas
Jefferson, chief among which is n
tained in the maxim: Equal rights
to all, special privileges to none" We
believe this maxim, rightly applied, is
capable of solving all the great ques-
tons which are now agitating the
minds of he American people; the re-
form of the tariff, the suppression of
the trusts, the regulation of the rail-
roads and the attitude of our govern
ment towards imperialism.
WILLIAM j.. BRYAN.
We recognize that the Democracy of
the United States has today many
tried aud trusted leaders, any n of
whom would worthily fill the office Of
chief magistrate Of this great nation,
but We cannot fail to recognize the
further fact that there is one Demo-
cratic leader, who, above all 9th
ers, has identified himself with all
the reforms now demanded by our
party and who has endeared him
self to every believer in Demo-
cratic principles, and whose very
name, of itself, constitutes a platform
upon which the Democracy Of this ma
ton could well stand in the coming
campaign-in other words we believe
the nomination Of William Jennings
Bryan by the Democratic convention
at Denver is demanded by every con-
sideration Of political principle and
party policy.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
delegates to be selected by this con-
ventton to represent the Democracy of
New Mexico at the Democratic nation
al convention to be held at Denver on
July It'll, 1905, be and they hereby are
instructed to vote for William len
nings Bryan as the candidate of our
party for the presidency Of the United
States as long as his name is before
he convention,
REPUBLICAN MISRULE.
Public Office is a public trust, and
no man Is worthy OF any Office, either
elective or appointive, who does not
appreciate the obligation he is under,
not alone to his party, but to the whole
people whom he serves, to faithfully
and fmpartially discharge all of his Of
fetal duties: and we condemn the Re
publican party Of this territory for its
disregard of his principle, for its NAL
administration, corruption and ring
rule, except for that brief period Of
time during which one chief execu-
tive Of the territory was endeavoring
TO adhere to and larry out some of the
principles of government we advocate
and endorse, and which efforts re-
suited in his removal from Office by 4
Republican president
ELECTION FRAUDS.
We call the attention Of the execu-

and of the people of this territory gen.

aud defiant frauds and violations Of
our election laws that have disgraced
our public elections In this territory in
the past, and notably at the last gen.
eral election. 1t was conclusively
