The Resolution.
BE it resolved by the Republicans
OF Socorro county in convention as
sembled, that
We most heartily approve of the
Republican policies as exemplified
and administered by that great Ameri.
can, President Roosevelt. We point
with pride to the record made by a
Republican Congress. We especially
congratulate the Republican admins
tration and Congress upon the prompt
and fearless action taken upon the
questions of vital concern to the well
fare of the nation, by which action
confidence has been restored and
healthful signs for a rapid return to
the prosperous industrial activities
which universally characterize the
normal conditions under Republican
administration. We congratulate the
national convention on it's wise selec-
tion of candidates for President and
Vice President. We recognize in the
Honorable w. H. Taft a citizen of un.
usual worth, integrity and ability. His
broad and successful experience in
the affairs of government; his able
solution of intricate problems of
government involving nearly every
branch; his contribution towards the
securing of sound, safe and peaceful
government in the Philippines and in
Cuba; his excellent management of
the Panama canal where millions Of
dollars are being expended, without
the faintest utterances or charge by
even the opposition, of mismanage.
ment; his able conception of con-
stitutional government and judicial
temperament, gives him the qualifica
tions of the highest ideal requisite to
President of this Republic. We rec
ognize in the Honorable James S.
Sherman an excellent running mate
whose long experience in the legisla-
tive functions of this government, es-
pecially equip him for the important
post for which he has been selected,
and in the event Of necessity, he has
the breadth, capacity, ability and in
every other way is quallned to fill the
highest position of the land.
I'VE especially commend the wis.
dom of President Roosevelt in select
ing as the representative Of the ma
tional administration in this Territory
the Honorable George Curry as our
governor. We recognize In Governor
Curry the typical exponent of the com
mon people. His many years of resi-
dence within our midst; his wide ex-
perience in public affairs in this ter
ritory and in the Orient; his intimate
knowledge Of conditions, wide ac-
quaintance with our people, give him
a most excellent understanding of
the needs of the Territory. We con-
gratulate Governor Curry upon his
well deserved enjoyment Of the fullest
confidence Of our people. We feel
thankful to him for his valuable and
persistent efforts in behalf Of the
general welfare of this Territory at
home and at the National Capital.
We charge the Democratic party of
this Territory and the Democratic
candidate for delegate to Congress
that the plank Of their platform adopt
ed at Roswell and the statement by
the Democratic candidate for Delegate
to Congress, wherein 1t is charged that
the election returns of 1906 were frau
dulent and that he. the said Demo
cratic candidate for Delegate to Con
gress has been defrauded Of his cleo.
