ANDREWS IS NOMINATED
ON THE FIRST BALLOT
"The Man Who Does Thing Will Succeed Him
self AS Delegate in Congress Convention the
Biggest Ever Held in New Mexico Perfect Har-
mony in Republican Camp

Andrews, 116 votes; Spiess, a.
votes; Mann, 20 votes-that, in
brief, is the story of what it is
fondly hoped will prove to be
New MeXico's last territorial con-
vention, which assembled in
Santa Fe Tuesday to nominate a
republican candidate for delegate
in congress.
In its account of the opening
proceedings of the convention,
the Santa Fe New Mexican said:
The Republican territorial
convention was called to order by
Chairman II. o. Bursum of the
central committee this forenoon
at IL o'clock, with every county
in the territory represented by
its delegates and occupying seats
in the sections designated for
the respective delegations. The
galleries were crowded to their
capacity with republicans who
had come from all sections OF
the territory to watch the pro-
ceedings of this gathering, which
will in all probability be the last
territorial convention in the his
tory of New Mexico.
MASTERLY ADDRESS BY HON. II. o.
BURSUM.
Hon. III. O. Bursum respond
ed to the address of welcome de-
livered by Mayor Sena and said
that the republicans in all sec
tions of the territory had a warm
place in their hearts for the city
of Santa Fee and that they were
at all times pleased to meet in
the Ancient City. In brief Mr..
BurSum pointed to the history of
the republican party and refer
red to it as the party of Abraham
Lincoln, James A. Garfield, Will
liam Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt. Whenever the names
of President Roosevelt and Will
liam IL. Taft were mentioned by
the speaker the delegates and
large audience broke into cheers.
II referred TO the Philippine
Islands, Porto Rico and Cuba
and said that it was the Repub-
lican party that gave to the .peo-
pie of these island possessions
their liberty from the chains of
monarchy; and William III. Taft,
republican standard bearer, was
the man of big heart and big
brains, who established and plat
ted out the form of government
in the Philippines, which is the
best form OF territorial govern
inent in the world today and he
did it without bloodshed. He
said that the republican party

COWBOY DINNER AT THE FAIR
Cole Railston, Manager of v x 7
Outfit, Will Entertain Cover
nor Curry

Cole RailSton, manager for the
V X Il outfit, has consented to
act as chairman of a committee
for the entertainment of Cover
nor Curry at a Cowboy dinner
on his arrival in Socorro to open
Socorro County's Second Annual
Fair. Mr.. Railston'S outfit will
consist of the regulation chuck
wagon, cook and supplies for
dinner for about fifty people.
The outfit will be accompanied
by a lot of cowboys in charge of
a big bunch of bucking bronchos
that will furnish the after dinner
entertainment. This dinner will
be novel feature of the COVER
nor's entertainment at the fair
and will doubtless attract
generous share of public atten-
tion. AS Governor Curry and
Mr.. Railston are old-time cowboy
friends and associates, the dinner
will be in the nature of a family
reunion.

QUEEN OF THE FAIR CONTEST
Miss Baca still Leads, With Miss
Howell Close Second in
the Race

The Queen of the Fair Contest
has developed a lively interest
this week. Miss Domitilia Baca
is still in the lead, but with a
small margin, Miss Hazel Howell
having suddenly shown that she,
too, has large circle of admir-
ing friends.
In order that there NAV be no
misunderstanding concerning the
manner of counting the votes,
the process is here given as fol-
lows: The ballot box is opened
every Friday evening in the
presence OF at least three men,
bers Of the committee. The
ballots thus counted are taken
charge of by a member of the
committee and the box is closed
and locked and not opened again
until the next Friday evening,
when the same process is again
gone through with. Voters
must fold and cast their own
ballots, signing them or not, as
they see fit. Mrs. Maver receives
the money for the votes.
1t is intended that the net
proceeds of the contest shall be
expended in the purchase of a
float for the Queen of the Fair
and her maids of honor, of whom
the Queen herself selects two and
the committee two. Several new
names from the various towns of
the county are added 70 the list
of contestants this week and
others are soon to follow.
The ballot will close at &
o'clock, Friday evening, Septem-
ber IL.
The vote yesterday evening
stood as follows:
The Socorro chieftain. [volume] (Socorro, N.M.) 1902-1959, 1908-08-22

was the friend of all classes of
people. Samuel GomperS has
accused the republican party of
not being a friend of the labor
ing man but this, the speaker
said, was false, because the re-
publican party does recognize
them as American citizens and
the equal of all classes of people.
He referred to the career of
Abraham Lincoln from the
wood chopper" to where he
climbed up and became the
greatest president this country
ever had. He said in the early
days all of the great men of the
country were poor and labored
hard for their livelihood. Capt.
tai and labor are both needed,
the speaker said, and every man
or woman no matter what his or
her standing has the same OPP
portunity today as had those
great men of the past.
Mr.. Bursum in applauding
the administration of President
Roosevelt called the attention of
his bearers to the great service
the President had done for New
Mexico in establishing the Re
clamation Service for the west
ern states and territories. This
alone was worth millions to the
Sunshine Territory.
TERRITORY PROUD or DELEGATE
ANDREWS.
He said that every republi-
can in New Mexico was proud of
the services rendered by its dele
gate to congress during the past
two years and that no republican
need be ashamed to point to the
record of the republican delegate
to congress to their democratic
friends, He said that whoever
the nominee of the convention
may be for delegate to congress,
he will be elected by the largest
majority ever given to any man
in New Mexico. The republic
cans have made a good record
and the democrats know this and
with a united republican front
and aided by those democrats
who have the interests of New
Mexico at heart and who cannot
do otherwise but vote for the re-
publican nominee and thus insure
the passage of the statehood act
during the short session of con-
gress in December next, the re-
publicans will be the victors in
the next election.
