less delegate, yet with hundred
votes back of him in Congress for the
great measures he has passed for this
territory.
Gentlemen of the convention. un-
der the rule my time is limited, but
| must refer to several facts in con,
nection with our candidate.
Mathew Stanley Quay, who ever
demonstrated his friendship for this
territory, was President Roosevelts
warm supporter and the great state
he represented and under his leader
ship was the first to come out and de-
clare for Roosevelt for president, and
this while Hanna and the powerful
interests he represented were in the
full glory of their power. Andrews
was Quay's friend Quay was good
enough for Roosevelt, Andrews is good
enough for Roosevelt and he is good
enough for the people of the territory
OF New Mexico-Quay stood like the
Rock of Gibraltar in the Senate
against the Force bill which sought
to place the iron heel of the nation.
al government on the neck of the
southern people, Quay stood with the
gallant representatives of the South
and defeated this measure and | say
to this convention that there are hun
dreds of Southerners in the counties
of eastern New Mexico who will in
cline to Andrews and cast their votes
| for him on account of the great friend
| ship the Southern senator's and con-
gressmen had for Quay and the
brotherly love that existed between
Quay and Andrews. The Republican

1T has been charged that Senator
Penrose Is friend of Andrews, as

Senator Penrose is member of the
executive committee of the national
Republican committee, the committee
which really manages the national
campaign for the party and like the
chairman of the committee selected
| by the candidate.
"Now we find this fortunate combi-
nation, Taft stands for Penrose, Taft
and Penrose stand for Andrews and
what is better than all and is para
mount is the glorious fact that the
people of New Mexico stand for the
greatest delegate they have ever had
and if this convention nominates him.
which | believe it will, there will be
a majority for him at the polls that
will be beyond anything ever cast for
a delegate in this territory.
Il will say In conclusion that dur
ing the twelve years Senator Andrews
has resided in New Mexico and during
my acquaintance with him have new
er heard him utter an oath or say q
harsh, unkind or cruel word against
any one who was opposed to him.
do not believe he ever had harsh
or cruel thought in his heart. know
of many acts Of charity quietly done by
him. He is, as has been truly said
by my friend, Mr. Berger, the silent
man. He is the representative Of
the principles of Roosevelt and dur
ling his residence in New Mexico has
on all proper occasions advocated
those policies and is in accord witt
