unanimously resolve:
First We renew our allegiance to
the doctrines and principles Of the
Republican party, and especially as
declared by our party at its four
teenth national convention held in the
city of Chicago in June, 1908.
Second. We express our apprecia-
ton and continued attachment to our
party for presenting to the country
for its sufferages at the recent ma
tional convention, the standard bear
ers of such intelligence, honesty and
consistency as long official service has
proven in the public and private ca
reers of william Howard Taft and
James Schoolcraft Sherman.
Third. We cordially endorse the
administration of Governor George T.
Curry; the zeal, fidelity, perseverance
and energy OF our excellent executive
have brought the aspirations of the
people of this territory to the door of
our federal union and We are conf

has received from President Roose-
welt will result in the recommendation
for the admission of New Mexico as
a single state in his annual message to
the next session of Congress.
Fourth. We faithfully endorse the
legislative course of our eminent del
egate in Congress. Honorable william
II. Andrews. He has faithfully repre-

zeal has brought to his associates in
the House Of Representatives and to
the members of the United States
Senate a realization of the fact that
admission to the union has been too
long delayed and in order to right
gross political wrong, one of the first
acts of the next session of Congress
will be the placing upon the blue
field of our flag a star which shall
answer for the state of New Mexico.
Mr.. Andrews has in all things, work.
ed zealously for the Interests of the
people he has represented. He has not
been bound by the demands of any
locality but has been broad and gen.
erous in his views and purposes, not
omittng in his careful watchfulness

all conditions of our people have re-
ceived his most painstaking efforts,
and we instruct the delegates this
day appointed to represent this coun-
ty In the convention at Santa Fe, to
act and vote unitedly for his renomi-
nation, and to earnestly labor among
their associates for the achievement
OF this result.
Fifth. We endorse the administra-
ton of affairs by the county officials
OF the county Of Bernalillo, and we
respectfully call the attention of the
taxpayers to the manner in which the
public trust reposed in such officials
