creative statesmen have necessarily been
Republican, while the function of the
Democratic party has been to point out
the defecrs in existing Institutions and
policies, but never to create a single
thing in our nations history
He declared that a protective tariff
was as necessary Tor New Mexico as Tor
Michigan. Maine, Pennsylvania, since we
have more copper than Michigan and
more timber than Maine, and more coal
than Pennsylvania. We shall want 10
develop these tremendous resources. he
declared. and in order TO do so, we must
have a market, and III order 20 have
market we mast have a protective tariff.
He then went on TO show the connection
between a good market for ore. timber,
coal etc, and a good market for farm
produce, since the farmer cannot expect
q good price FOR his products II the people
to whom he sells his products do not
have enough money to buy. He stated
that the Republican policy OF protection
had made the American wage Garner the
best consumer in the world. He declared
that the tariff is the least possible stem
Of expense that could enter into any
product, and is therefore not RESPONSIBLE
for the high cost OF living.
FuIlen Answers Charges.
Mr.. Ely then introduced L. O. Fullen,
Of Roswell, n. N.
Mr. Fullen confined his remarks chiefly
to answering the charges which are be-
ing made by II. j. Hagerman against
HI. 0. Bursm, the Republican candidate
for governor. Before coming TO this sub
iect, however, he paid eloquent tribute
to the characters Of the Two men with
whom he has been campaigning, viz,
Geo. Curry, Republican candidate for
congress. and Frank w. Parker. ReDub-

He went aside from his theme a moment
to say THAI in his Judgment the Las
Vegas convention made a great mistake
in not nominating Ralph C.. Ely for con-
gress instead of ElfegO Baca. This
statement met with applause.
Mr.. Fullen then declared that the
present Republican nominee for governor
Is as honest. trustworthy and reliable q
man as can be found in the whole state
of New Mexico. He declared that there
was but one individual in New Mexico
who was questioning Alr. Bursum's
honesty and that man Is ii. j. Hager-
man. He declared that the attack upon
BUrsjIm by HageTnan was inspired by q
personal gTudge and a vindictive nature,
and the speaker expressed his surprise
that Mr.. Hagerman, who was so little
thought of in his home town of Roswell,
was taken so seriously in other parts Of
the state.
Cause Of Differences.
He said that the start of the whole
between BuTsUm and Hager-
man arose from the fact that Mr.. Hager- /
man while in st. Petersburg, Russia. be-
came crank on the subject of prison re- |
form, and that in endeavoring to force /
some Of his new-fangled theories upon /
the territorial Penitentiary, he was told /
by Mr.. BUrsum that thees theories would l
not work
Thereupon Mr.. Hagerman, so the /
speaker declared, was much incensed, /
and set about TO find some way to I'M /
lermine and destroy the influence of the |
nan who thus rejected his pet theories. |
He declared that Hagerman had Bur I
s-m thrown out and refused him a hear !
ng and refused even to allow Bursum 4
10 appear by counsel, when the investi- /
cation of the penitentiarv books was
lnder way.
The speaker said that this fact alone /
g quite enough to disTedit Hageman.
Re said further that a competent court. |
l7ving all the evidence before It. had de- /
'ide5 that far from Bursum's owing the 4
erTitOrv any money, it was found that /
he territory owed him $500 or $500. !
