sizes since the nomination for the gov
ernorshop had been refused him. He
did desire, however, to continue to
fight for the republican party. Mr.
Romero said he would be in line
four years hence for nomination and
would fight Mr.. Bursam for the Of
fee of governor. Mr.. Romero's re-
marks were received with much en-
thusiasm.
The nomination of Malaquias Mar
tinez of Taos, for several years coal
oil inspector for the territory of New
Mexico, for the first lieutenant gov
ernor, brought forth cheers. MI.

Harmony prevailed until the las.
expiring moment of the first repubh-
can state convention, which was adj
journed sine die at o'clock this
morning after having completed the
nomination of the state ticket The
convention selected a strong LIST OF
candidates who are sure to be car
ried into office on November Z on the
avalanche of republican votes which
will be cast at the first state cleo
ton.
The convention met late yesterday
afternoon after having been in
state of adjournment practically ever
since IL o'clock in the morning. 1t
appeared from the first chat there
would not be strenuous contests for
several of the nominations. Some Of
the candidates, realizing that it was
in the interest of party harmony for
them gracefully to withdraw from
the race, requested the delegations
instructed for them to cease mention
ing them for Office.
Several of the nominations were
made by acclamation. These in
cluded lieutenant governor, secretary
of STATE, state treasurer, public land
commissioner and superintendent of
public instruction.

until 6:30 o'clock An interesting
feature of this session was the nom
ination of Secundino Romero for sec
retary of state by acclamatiou. MI
Romero's name was the only name
mentioned. He was placed in noulin-
alton by D. J. Leahy of San Miguel
county. Mr.. Romero, gaining the
floor, said he preferred to remain
at home, put on the harness and
show his loyalty to the republican
party, even though it did not care tc
give him the nomination for govern
or. Mr.. Romero said he did not care
to ask the convention for anything
he was seeking for no gift from its
hands. A motion to make the nota
nation unanimous prevailed amid
much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Romero was escorted to tn,
platform, where he made a character
istic address. He thanked the con
vention for it's courtesy. Mr.. Ro
nero reiterated his previous state
ment that he had desired no courte

be passed and the mine ventilated, SO
that the men can be kept alive until
