Victory Assured.

The young men in the Republican
party in Santa Fe met at Republican
headquarters to form a club last night
and after listening to interesting ad-
dresses by the Hon. George w. Prich-
ard and the Hon II. O. Bursum, chair
man of the territorial central commit
tee, and others, adjourned to meet
Thursday night to effect a permanent
organization.
Charles Fairfield was elected tenn
porary chairman and Edward Stafford,
temporary secretary at last nights
meeting which was attended not only
by young Republicans but also some
of the older members of the party.
Colonel Prichard called the meeting
to order and delivered a brief address.
He said in substance: 1T is crafty
ing to me to see the young men of
this city forming a club to carry out
Republican principles of government.
There is every reason in the world
why young man today should sup
port the old Republican party and OPP
pose the Democratic party. There has
been no measure advocated by the Re-
publican party for the benefit of man
kind that has not met the opposition
OF the Democratic party. The Demo
cratic party has never written in forty
years a single law in the interest or
mankind. The Republican party is the
party of such men as Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley, all great men who
stood for great questions. The other
party is the party of Jefferson Davis,
who was not the founder but was one
Of the eXpOnents of the party. Look at
the two parties carefully and compare
them and draw your deductions. The
Democratic party is the party Of
heresies and isms. Every single Or
ganized effort against the constitution
and organized government in this
country has been made by the Demo-
cratic party; every revolution against
tine flag by that party. They seize any
question that may strike the popular
idea to gain an advantage against the
Republican party. But the things they
fight today in few years they will
take up, endorse, embrace.
The Democratic party no longer
advocates the 16 to l or the owner
ship of railroads. They raised such
questions and were turned down. I
hear people say some times that there
is no difference between the Demo-
cratic and the Republican parties but
the Republicans insist there is great
difference. The Republican party has
, given us the pure food law, the en-
ployers liability law, the interstate
commerce law, the statehood law and
enabling act and many other laws in
the interest of the people. The Demo-
cratic party has given us 'isms' and
has forty or more of them right on tap
to be injected into the new constitu.
tion for New Mexico" Colonel Prich-
ard then concluded with a few words
! of advice and said: Remember we
ollull SOOH Ut d SldlS NOlIH9 oD q NOA'
stitution and as we are about to step
out into the sunlight of statehood let
the young men come to the front and
prepare for the duties of citizens of
state"
l. Colonel Prichard was warmly ap-
plauded as he took his seat. Temper
airy Chairman Fairfield was then Sc
lected and he said a few words about
the activity young men should show,
admitting at the same time his dis
belief in the so-called "Osler theory
that a man has passed his prime when
he has passed his fortieth year.
Charles Catron arose and suggest
ed that the effecting of a permanent
organization of the club be deferred
until later in the week and have Gov
ernor Mills, Mr.. Bursum and others
address the meeting. Former Mayor
Sena voiced the same view ana SAID
that a good many young men had not
read the call for the meeting as they
had not read the newspapers.
Mr.. Bursum's Advice.
Chairman Bursum was then called
on for a speech and he gave a good
one in his unassuming manner. Mr..
Bursum said 1T has been suggest
ed to me by one of your members
that in view of the statement of Mr.
Sena that some of the young men did
not read the call in the papers and
therefore did not turn out tonight that
it would be good thing for them to
first read their paper. Then they
would know what is going to happen,
Colonel Prichard: Eyes, and that
would mean more circulation for the
New Mexican" Iaughter.)
