We believe that all county officers

We condemn the policy of the Fed

free grazing of livestock in the forest
reserves of the Territory, as unwar-
ranted and arbitrary; such policy
tends to injure and destroy the inter

and may create a monopoly of that
industry by the very few wealthy own
ers of sheep and cattle. The conser-
vation of our timber in such reserves
and the wise regulation of its use in

truction, is a commendable economic
measure, but the free use of the

N0MINATES
LARRAZOLO

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men:
This is but a continuation of what
told you a moment ago. We are
nominating a candidate for delegate
to congress. We also should have in
mind, my friends, that we are also
making a nomination tonight with
reference, almost certainly, to the
statehood fight that is coming. The
nomination has been made, and / sec
old on behalf of BernalilIo county,
first, because it is an act of simple
justice. Two years ago, when the Re-
was in power, backed by patronage
back in the different sections of New
Mexico, that you more fortunate in
Chaves county do not know SO much
about, because you have a Democratic
county government here and you do
not know the outrages that we have
had to submit to in the counties that
are Republican, farther from you. So
firmly intrenched were they that the
Democratic party, in some counties,
was almost disorganized. Ballot boxes
stuffed; prosecutions before the grand
Jury of humble Democrats for preten-
ded crimes. It has been within my
personal knowledge, as lawyer prac
ticing in the courts of New Mexico,
that men who are Democrats, hum Bile
citizens, Americans as well as Mexi-
cans, in these counties, who, when
we were led by the incompatible and
honest Antonio Joseph, while Cleve-
land was President, we were able to
maintain our party, then, my friends,
these men. succeeding to power, per-
secuted honest Democrats of any race.
under pretended crimes, and. as l
know personally, they have gone to
them, after they were under indict-
ent-they had been Democrats for
years when we used to carry New
Mexico SO easily for Joseph, had been
strong, honest Democrats, who, to
this day believe in the immortal prin-
ciples of Democracy-and these ennis
saries of those in power came and
made this proposition: IF you will
agree to vote the Democratic ticket,
this will be nolled." Under that sort
of regime we lived in some counties.
1t has been fittingly denounced
some of these outrages-in our plat
form announced tonight. Now. two
years ago, everything Republican;

lican, all the judges, all the officers,

the evidence can tell you also. In

the ballots were put in was fixed SO

all of his official duties; and we con-
denim the Republican party of this
Territory for its disregard of this prin-
ciple, for its maladministration, cor
ruption and ring-rule, except for that
brief period of time. during which one
Chief Executive of the Territory was
endeavoring to adhere to and carry
out some of the principles of govern
ment we advocate and endorse, and
from Office by Republican President.
We call the attention of the execu-
tive and of the Judicial Departments,
and of the people of this Territory
generally, to the many open, shameful
and defiant frauds and violations of
our election laws that have disgraced
our public elections in this Territory
in the past, and notably at the last
general election. 1t was conclusively
proved by legal and competent evi-
coal camps of Colfax county the polls
were established by the order of the
Commissioners of the said County on
the private lands of the respective
companies owning and operating coal
mines; that the managers of said
companies arbitrarily refused to allow
any Democrats to be present at the
polls in said coal camps on election
day; that in some of said coal camps
Democratic challengers were subject
Cd 10 nj ain
from said camps by Deputy Sheriffs
acting under instructions from the
Managers of said companies; that the
ballot boxes were stuffed and the reg
istratiol and poll books were padded
and hundreds of foreigners were COM
pelled to vote the Republican ticket
under threats of discharge. We call
attention to the fact that these arbi-
trary acts have been continuously
practiced in Colfax county for the past
eight years until they have ripened IL
% an established system.

ty Valencia in election matters for
the past quarter of century has been

name of New Mexico. 1t is a proven
ald established fact and it is not even
required that the voters should go to
the polls in that county, but the
officers of the Election Board cast
the ballots for all the absentees, while
in some instances the registration
lists are copied into the poll-books in
strict alphabetical order. At the last
election in this county and in Tor
rance County, Republican ballots were
ballots actually cast, and in one pre-
cinct in the latter county the judges
of election openly refused to permit
any Democratic ballots to be cast.
The foregoing instances are but a
few of the many open and defiant vio-
lations of our election laws and it is
humilating to be compelled to ac-
knowledge that with the single excep-
ton of Mr.. Frank w. Clancey, Dis
trict Attorney of the Second Judicial
District, no action has ever been ta-
ken by any Republican oficiaI, Ma
tional or Territorial. to stop these alb
uses or to punish the Offenders.

laws by the Courts and prosecuting

order ar s:25 a. last nights session

ton and in his characteristic busi-
ness-like manner, called for the first
report of the committee on resolu-

be In a few minutes. 1t was suggested
by the Honorable Mr.. Chaves of AL
buquerque that some silver tongued
orator be called upon to speak, but
first moved that the order of business
be changed so that the first thing to
be done after receiving the report of
the resolutions committee be the NOM
fnation of the Democratic candidate
for Delegate to Congress. His motion
carried unanimously, whereupon Hon.
H B. Ferguson, of Albuquerque, was

Territorial Democratic Platform.
We, the Democrats of New Mexico,
in delegate convention assembled at
Roswell, again renew our pledge OF
allegiance TO those fundamental prin-
ciples of democracy as originally enun-
ciated by our first great leader, Thorn
as Jefferson, chief among which is
contained in the maxim. Equal rights
to all, special privileges to none" We
believe this maxim, rightly applied.
Is capable of solving all the great
questions which are now agitating the
minds OF the American people-the
reform of the tariff, the suppression
of the trusts, the regulation of the
railroads and the attitude of our gov
eminent towards imperialism.
We recognize that stfe democracy
OF the United States has, today, many
tried and trusted leaders, anyone of
whom would worthily fill the Office of
Chief Magistrate Of this great nation.
but we cannot fall TO recognize the
further fact that there is one demo
cratic leader, whes above all others.

whose very name, of itself, constitutes

believe the nomination of William
