We. the Republicans Of Otero

renew our allegiance to the princi-
Piles of our party and unqualifedly
endorse the platform adopted at
our National convention in Chicago.
and hail with pride the nomination
of our distinguished citizens and
patriots, William H. Taft. as nomi-
nee for president. and James ).
Sherman as our nominee for vice
president. We take great pride in
the national achievements of our
party borh in the past and during
the present national administration
of our president. Theodore Roose-
welt, and we firmly believe that the
Republican party can be safely
trusted for the future.
We point with pride to our Re-
publican delegation in congress and
especially commend the record Of
Hon. Warren f. Haggot. repre-
sentative in congress from our Sec
ond district, who has proved him
self an able and worthy public ser
want and entitled to the renomina-
ton given him.
Our state administration has beer
clean and progressive and has the
confidence and support of the
people of the entire state. Peace.
law. order and good will have pre-
vailed: personal security. personal
liberty and property rights are re-
spected and protected. Employer
and employe are now found both
working together for the mutual
benefit and betterment of both and
as result our people generally are
prosperous.
We take pride in the able. care
full and conscientious manner in
which our Republican county Off
cials have conducted their several
offices and feel that our party has a
clean record to go before the people.
and we gladly commend such Off
cials in their capable administra-
ton.
We take especial pride in the adj
ministration of our state treasurer.
Hon. A. +. Bent, who has so ably
and efficiently conducted the affairs
of his office. So well in fact have the
finances of the state been handled
that every appropriation made by
our last legislature has been paid
and there remains a good Sl00. 900
clear to turn over to his successor;
we especially commend MIR. Bent's
attitude as a member Of the Board
of Equalization and predict for him
further honors at the hand of the
Republican party.
Believing that 0tero county
should have representation upon the
state ticket this fall, we wish to
commend the candidacy of Judge
Q. @. Hess, as nominee for one of
The Supreme Judges and urge upon
our delegation to the state conven-
ton to use every honorable means
within their power to have Judge
Hess placed upon the state ticket
this fall.
Realizing that representation
upon the judicial ticket would be
proper we urge upon our delegates
to the district judicial convention
