Andrews and statehood was
greeted with enthusiastic APP
plauSe. Mr.. Congdon is an able
and eloquent speaker who is sure
to be heard from later. A. A.
Sedillo of Albuquerque was the
next speaker introduced. Mr..
Sedillo spoke to life long friends.

Martin closed the oratorical fea-
ture of the convention with an
address in the Spanish language
that reused the widest enthusi-
asm among the Spanish speak
ing members of his audience.

very happiest veins and his speech
must be classed as one of the
finest examples OF political ora
tory that has been heard in So
corro in many day.
At the close of Mr.. Martins
address the reports of the COM
uittees were received. The
committee on permanent organi-
zation recommended that the
present organization be made the
permanent organization, and the
report was adopted. The COM
rniltee on resolutions made the
following report, which, on mo-
tion of Leandro Baca, was unan-
imouSly adopted, to-wit:
