possibilities of contravention. proven
by the history of the republican ma
tional convention--the actions of
which gave birth to the progressive
party. Tor in that convention we tried
out fairly whether the people should
or should not be allowed to exercise
their own choice for the nominee for
president. and ask YOU to remember.

nomination from me, really they stole

And now, my friends, | want to

And. now, let me ask you of New |
Mexico to think for moment on mis-. !
ask YOU to think Of the tariff. The
tpuh'iean parry 'Ls chown that It
stands for tariff for privilege. Mr..
Wilson and the democrats pronlise a
arift for destruction. You have va

he democrats keep thor word they

ective tariff Is like IL malignant
