ADDRESS
Mr.. HinkIe's Address.

Is
Ladies and Gentlemen and Friends:
This is enough honor for me, to be
Convention, of any Territorial Con-
vention in the Pecos Valley. (Cheers)t
AS / say, this is enough honor for me,
but l appreciate and embrace this
at any time, been a candidate for dele
gate to Congress. I appreciate the
hearty support from my home county
and by my home people, and from
many trends over the Territory. 1t
was unsolicited on my part and Ihave
done nothing asking %anyone's support;
and, as I say, 1 embrace this oppor-
tunity, and l am glad to take this op-
~portulity to decline, if I was ever in
the race, and to say that 1 desire TO
support that peerless Democrat, Mr..
Larrazolo. 1 believe, and I think the
Democrats of New Mexico believe,
and that the republicans believe, that
Mr.. Larrazolo was honestly elected 2
years ago. 1 think that is an addi-
tional argument in favor of the act
that he is entitled to he nomination.
There is no questio1-this time his
nomination means IN election.
1 wish to say to the democrats of
New Mexico, to unite. That is the
only way in which you can win. We
must get together. Select your com
mittee; do it here in the convention.
Put the best men you have on your
committee. Let us play politics like
we play business. Go in to win. I'm
tie.
Effect your organization. Do it be-
fore you adjourn. We would like to
have you here with us, we want you
to stay, but especially we want you, be
fore you leave, to effect your organi-
cation. This is a Democratic year
anyway. We are going to win all
along the line. (Applause.)
1 wish to say for Chaves county,
that we have never met defeat. In
our fifteen OF eighteen years of or
ganization, there have been only two
VI IhC CIOhuy "1O hofO hSAo -
and there will never be another. l
wish to say to the Democrats in the
other part of the Territory, do just
as you did two years ago, for Mr.. Lar
~razolo, and we are going to furnish
the majority. I wish to "a for our
sister county, Roosevelt, that cast
$500 votes in the democratic primary,
and to other counties who have made
material gains, that we are going to
furnish the majority, and all we would
ask of the people from other parts
of the Territory is to do just what
you did two ears ago for Mr.. Lara
zola and Mr.. Andrews will not be in
it.
1 cannot lay too much stress upon
organization. I am a firm believer il
organization. 1 believe in getting to-
gether. 1t is like the boy who went
to the base ball game on Sunday, and
the next Sunday he wanted to go
again. But his mother said: ooh no,
you had better not go to the base
ball game, but you had ought to go
to Sunday school," So he conesnted
and then next Sunday went to Sunday
School. When he got home, his mo-
Their asked him how he liked it, and
if it was not better than going to the
ball game. He much astonished her
by saying he did not see much differ
ence. And when she asked what he
meant by that he said: "Well, at Sun
day School they said, stand up for
Christ" and at the base ball game
they said: For Christ's sake, sit
down." 1 wish to say nov that, as
an Illustration of hat (and l hope
it is not sacrilege to do so) to let the
and let the knockers sit down in front.
