he has paid to claims OF veterans and
requests of every Constituent are fac
tors that make certain a Republican
victory at the polls this fall.
We heartily endorse the administra-
ton of Governor George Curry, who
has unselhshly extended every aid and
influence to New Mexico's delegate in
Congress to secure for New Mexico
many concessions and privileges never
enjoyed before by this territory. His
statemanship and executive ability
stands unchallenged and has added no
small share to the prevailing prosper
ity, the prevalence of law and order
and the united condition of the party.
1t Is a part of the order of gratitude
that the commonwealth owes Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he has given 1t an
executive SO thoroughly identified with
its traditions, history and life. We
recognize that the judiciary of the
territory is fair and able in the ad-
ministration of justice and that the
official are performing their duties
well and agreeably to the majority of
the people.
To Hon. H. o. Bursum, chairman
of the territorial committee praise and
honor are due for past victories and
the splendid and united condition with
which the party faces the foe. The
confidence of the rank and file of the
party are his, who acknowledge in
him a leader without reproach. The
Republicans of New Mexico are un-
wavering in their insistence upon the
continuation of the policies of a pro-
tective tariff. Tariff schedules should
he changed as conditions demand and
should be adjusted in accordance with
the just needs of business, yet there
should be no departure of the policy
that has built up industries without
number and given employment at
good wages to the American people.
Especially do We ask that the tariff
on wool. on hides, on the products of
the soil the mines. the home factories
receive ample protection against the
cheap labor and cheap products of the
Orient and of Europe. For eleven
years past Republicans have been en-
trusted uninterruptedly with the gov
ernment of this territory and most OF
Its counties and It's municipalities
that they have discharged this trust
uniformly with honesty and ability IS
Indicated by the reduction OF the ter
riorial Indebtedness, legacy of Demo
cra.c mismanagement and extrava-
gance. The fact that the credit of the
territory has been restored so that II
is second to that OF no other COM
monwealth; the prevalence of law and
order; the swift punishment of crime;
the security Of property which pre-
walls in every part of the territory and
has been a great influence in bringing
TO New Mexico thousands of home
seekers who are establishing homes
under the most fortuitous conditions
To these newcomers the Republicans
OF this territory extend a hearty well
come.
Resolved, that we demand the abb
lition of grazing fees on the forest re-
serves and pledge our nominee fol
Congress to work assiduously to that
END, as We'll as to bring about the
elimination from the forest reserves
Of all lands which do not contain
timbers suitable to be made into lum-
Der. and We favor the most liberal
construction in favor of settlers, stock
growers and miners OF the forest re-
serve and public land laws and regu-
Iations.
Be it further resolved, that we
favor the preservation Of the waters
flowing in the streams Of New Mex
leo for the use and benefit of all our
own people and are opposed to giving
away any portion of them to the peo-
pie of a foreign country.
Resolved that we favor and pledge
our support towards securing the res
toration to the public domain OF al
lands added to the Navajo, the Jica-
rilla Apache and Ute reservations BY
executive order and the immediate al
lotment of 100 acres to each OF these
Indians on their original treaty reser-
walton and the opening OF the remain
der on equitable and fair terms to thu
Indians.
