adopted
Resolutions.
The Progressive Republican league
vi New Mexico IN convention ASSIGN.
bled at Santa Fc on the fourth day OF
October. 1911, proclaim to the people
Of this state the following resolutions
and declaration OF principles.
We rejoice IN the glorious record
of the Republican party which has
given the nation the lllustrious names
OF Lincoln. Grant Garfield. Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Tai
And we contrast the recent utter.
nnccs Of President TAFT In favor OF
progressive principles with the recent
rcactiunnry methods pursued by the
Las Vegas Republican convention,
We believe thai the source uf al.
political power Is IN the people and not
To- political bosses The unrest We
sec manifested Ia Republican ranks
In every part OF the country " at.
| irihulablc TO departure from the
principles and policies laid down by
Lincoln and other great founders OF
the party
"Thc Progressive Republican league
Is opposed To all forms Of cuCroach-
meni on the rights Of the people by
the great monied powers Of the Coun.
| try. whose constant cndeayor Is ga
snbsidlze political organizations
through paid agents and hlreliRgs EN-.
pioyed Tor that purpose
we believe that none bat those
who are capable and honest should BE-
elected 20 fili the offices OF The new
| state
! "Nc favor q non.pnrtisan judiciary
| composed entirely at men who will he
| Immune OF the charges of official
misconduct and personal avoritlsn
ana who viii not Boz chosen as tbs in
strumonts and tools of the favored
few or to serve any special interest
And wc also favor the election o
the Judges Of the supreme court an
district courts and ~ the corporation
commissioners at separate elections
rom that Of other state officials
We charge that the reacilOnarS
and rctrogrossiye Republicans of this
state In convention assembled ~ Las
Vegas on the 2sth day OF September
1911. placed In nomination man
for governor who b. known 10 be d
ring politician ana who IS subseryicnl
to the special Interests and whose m
mlllar record in public lie units hin
20 be the governor Of this state.
we charge that the platform ol
chat convention which proclaims iol
The purity of tho ballot the Tree cX
preston of popular viii, opposition "a
machine politics and progressive lcgis
lation. are declarations lacking in sin
cority. an9 are hypocritical In intcn
ton to deceive the voters as shown
by the fact that during the many
years tho cutorio o! individuals. who
have controlled the policy of the Re
publican party In New Mexico. have
made no effort 90 bring about IN,
reforms they are now promising
"Thc constitution Of this state b.
made moro difficult OF amendment
than that OF any other state In the
Union Excepting the articles on
| elective franchise and education. ",
lnre In favor ol making the coustitU
ton more easy ~ amendment We
| therefore favor The adoption of 90,
amendment 90 b., provided for DA the
blue ballot Gao the end that the
people may. when they see proper
amend the same u the manner desired
by them. ANA we favor an cary
Iamendmont 20 thr constitution Tor the
purpose OF eliminating tnereirom sec
ion . OF article %, conialning certain
disqualification for members of The
Legislature and STATE officials
We believe Boz the full and ample
protection To the sheep and wool In
dustry. but stand Nith President TAFT
| In his assertion that the present
schedule " o. indefensiblo That
schedule thourh pretending to provid,
a duty OF ten cents per pound on WooI
OF the class produced In New mexico

| yldcd an average protection %
not more than tNo cents per pound
during many years past.
The public lands donated to u o'
