Secretary"
On motion of f. c. Crampton of
| ColfaX, a committee was appointed
| to draft "A set of rules of procedure
| for the committee and the party in
| general throughout the state. After
wrestling for several hours in execu-
| tive session, the committee finally
| brought forth a set of resolutions de-
voted principally to the question of
| the distribution OF federal patronage.
II was the sense Of the committee
| that no member of the state com
mittee or of any county committee
should personally endorse any appli-
cant for appointiVe office, but that
IAN such matters should be referred
! to the appropriate committee for ac-
| uon by a majority of the members.
| The resolution was strongly objected
! to by several of the committeeman
who protessed to see in it AN attempt
on the part of the state committee to
interfere in party affairs. Following
is text Of the resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this committee that applications for
and all matters relating to appoint
ments to federal, state and district
offices should he referred to and act
ed upon by the state central commit
tee and its endorsement and recon-
mendaton forwarded to the proper
appointing authorities through the
senators and representatives, or 9TH
erWlse as may be appropriate to such
appointment.
That all appointments to offices
'of purely local interest such as post
offices and the like should be made
upon the recommendation Of the cen
tral committee of the proper county
to the state central committee and
by 1t forwarded to the proper au-
thorities.
In event of disagreement of the
local organization upon endorsements
or for other good cause, the executive
committee of the state central com
mittee shall be hereby authorized to
investigate ana when it is necessary
to arbitrate and decide such disputes.
and its action in all such cases or in
any matters affecting the party, shall
be final, subject only to the action of
the state central committee at its
next meeting.
That In event of a failure of a
quorum of the state central commit
tee to attend any called meeting, or
in event action is necessary in any
matter before a meeting of the state
central committee can be secured,
then the state executive committee |
snail nave and exercise all the autho- |
rltY OF the state central committee as |
to an appointments and other matters |
and business requiring action.
That we suggest and recommend |
To the members Of the several county I
committees and the state central and I
the state executive committee that
no individual endorsement be made /
by such members, but that all appli- +
cations be referred to the appropriate /
committee tor concerted action
That all members OF the republi- /
can party in the state are invited and F
TPn1IgGfGH mi n ttritb
state central committee from time to /
time, giving their views as to the APP !
polntments and other matters af- |
fecting the party"
TheaGom during the executive I
session. decided to establish perml- /
nent headquarters in Santa Fc with a /
secretary in charge who will devote
his entire time to organization work /
between now and the opening of the |
presidential campaign next summer I
1t was also decided that Attorney 7
Thomas b. Catron and Attorney a. y. t
Renehan should represent the com
mittee in all contest proceedings af- /
fecting republican candidates which +.
are pending or which may be brought |
in the near future.
1t is considered likely that if the
supreme court upholds the conten-
tion cf Messrs. Catron and Renehan
in the Owen-Ean Stone case that a
number Of contests will be filed by
defeated candidates for state and dis
triCt offices 1T is Contended by Mr..
Catron in his petition as intervenor,
in behalf Of George W. Armiio, de- 7
feated candidate for corporation COM
missioner that the 1889 ballots on
which appeared the name OF sol
owen instead of o. l.. owen were in
valid as to all the candidates and
should be thrown out entirely. II
this view Of the case be sustained 10y

publican state ticket with the eX-
Ception of Governor Mcdonald ana
