Praise For Governor Curry
To the administration of Governor
George Curry the speaker referred at
length, saying that during the first
twelve months of his administration he
has proven himself to be the friend of
all New Mexico and that he is the man
who does things. When the speaker
mentioned the name of Governor
Curry and referred to the record of
Delegate Andrews in Congress he was
loudly cheered.
After Chairman Bursum concluded
his mastery address the Elks band of
albuquerque and La Banda de Santa
Fe rendered patriotic tunes, and the
members of the latter sang a Spanish
song entitled "Lupita" which was
wildly applauded.
On motion of Hon. Solomon Luna a
committee of two was selected to es
cort Governor George Curry to a seat
next to the presiding officer of the
| convention, but as the governor was
busy during the forenoon session of
the convention at the executive office
he was unable to be present.
On motion of Solomon Luna the re-
port of the central committee on tenn
porary organization was read and
adopted. The recommendation of the
central committee was the selection
of the following temporary officers:
Hon. George S. Klock, of Bernalillo
county, chairman; Jose D. Sena, of
Santa Fee, temporary secretary; and
George w. Armijo, of Santa Fe; Mes
tor Montoya, of Albuquerque, and Isl
doro Armijo of Las Cruces, tempo
rary interpreters.
A committee of three was appointed
iby Chairman Bursum to escort Tenn
porary Chairman Klock to the chair
as follows: Marcus C. de Baca, of
Bernalillo; M. NJ Padgett, of San Mi
guel, and w. H. H. Llewellyn of Las
Cruces. The committee escorted Tenn
porary Chairman Klock to his seat
amid wild cheers. He was introduced
by Chairman Bursum.
Address BY Temporary Chairman.
Mr.. Klock after being introduced,
made an address lasting about thirty
minutes. He is an eloquent orator
and his talk was well received by the
convention. He said that he consid.
cred it a great honor to preside for a
short time over such a great gather
ing of Republicans and especially be-
cause it is well known fact that the
man who would be nominated at the
present convention will be elected by
Ian overwhelming majority on Novem.
ber Sd next, and with it is assured
the passage of an enabling act dur
ing the short session of Congress in
December and that he would always
remember the fact that he had the
honor of presiding over the last Re-
publican territorial convention of
New Mexico. But the speaker re.
minded the convention that is must
not only elect the delegate to Con
gress but must as well elect the Re.
publican legislative ticket. Then he
pointed to the past history and ad
ministrations Of the Republican and
Democratic parties in New Mexico as
well as in the United States. He said
when the Republicans took the reins
of the territorial government in 1896
they took with 1t a Democratic bond
ed Indebtedness of $1,3OO,OOO. Since
then the Republicans have spent lots
of money for public buildings and
other purposes, but still they have
been able to reduce the old bonded
indebtedness by 100000.
At the conclusion of the address 0l
4 Chairman Klock, Hon. H. O. Bursum
moved that a committee on resolu
tions, permanent organization, order
of business and credentials be an
nounced. One delegate from each
county was placed on each committee
selected by their respective delega
tions. The committees follow:
