Rocky Ford enterprise., 1908-09-11


pride in the national achievements Of our
party both in the past and during the
| present national administration Of our
President. Theodore Roosevelt, and We
firmly believe that the Republican party
can be safely trusted for the future.
We point with pride to our republican
delegation in Congress and especially
commend the record Of Hon. Warren E.
Haggott, Representative in Congress
from our second district, who has proved
himself an able and worthy public SER
want and entitled to the denomination
given him.
Our state administration has been clean
and progr and has the confidence
and support Of the people Of the entire
state. Peace. law. order and good will
have prevailed: personal security. per-
sonal libsrty and property rights are
respected and protected. Employer and
employe are now found both working to-
gether for the mutual benefit and better
ment Of both and as result our people
generally are prosperous.
We take pride in the able. conscientious
manner in which our republican county
officials have conducted their several
Offices and feel that our party has a
clean record to go before the people and
we gladly commend such officials in their
capable administration.
We take especial pride in the admins
tration OF our state treasurer. Hon. A. E.
Bent, who has SO ably and efficis..ay
conducted the affairs Of his office, so
well in fact have the finances Of the state
F, been handled that every appropriation
made by our last legislature has been
paid and there remains good 100000
clear to turn over to his successor; we
especially commend Mr.. Bent's attitude
as member Of the Board of Equaliza-
ton and predict for him further honors
at the hand Of the republication party.
| Believing that Otero county should
have representation upon the state ticket
this fall, we wish to commend the eandi-
daey of Judge o. G. Hess. as a 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 tisket this fall.
Realizing that representation upon the
judicial ticket would be proper, we urge
upon our delegates to the district judicial
convention to use every means possible
to secure for Otero county candidate
upon that ticket. We know that gsner-
ally Pueblo county by its greater repre-
sentation easily controls this convention.
so that we urge upon our delegates to
use every means possible to secure our
county recognition.
We especially endorse the action OF our
last legislature for enaeting the Local
Option Law. the Pure Food Law. the law
providing for the examination and regu-
lation of banks, the Railroad Commission
law. insurance laws. and civil service
laws. And we call attention to the fact
that every ante-election pledge Of the
Republican party. in this state. has been
faithfully kept and fulfilled to the letter.
We also endorse the action Of the Re-
publican State Central Committee in its
deoision'in the Denver controversy. and
hereby instruct our delegation to stand by
the regular organization.
Believing that the people should be the
controlling influence in our government
and that their wishes should be fulfilled.
we heartily endorse the Primary Elee-
ton Law.
We heartily endorse the Postal Savings
Bank law. recommended by our National
administration. whereby the people may
