The republicans of Luna county
in convention assembled. hereby most
earnestly reiterate our allegiance Ia
the party that has written the sue
cessful history Of our country for
the past half century. The era Of
prosperity that always obtains dur
ing republican rule is proof positive
that the principle Of protection is the
only one that can possibly make our
country the most prosperous and
happy. The brief interval of practi-
cally free trade in recent months
which has brought the capitalists
aud manufacturers to the verge. of
ruin. and the laboring man to the
brink of idleness and starvation.
must convince all sensible people that
the republican policy is the hest for
all the people all the time.
We are proud of the record Of our
republican state officers, and point
with satisfaction to the very able
manner in which their several offices
are being conduted.
In Frank W. Clancy. we recognize
u very able and efficient attorney
general. always alive to the interests
Of the people and the best welfare of
the state.
To Vim. g. Sargent, state auditor.
is due the confidence of the people of
his state, for the very business like
administration he is giving MS.
We are more than pleased to en-
dorse the very able efficient manage
ment of the state land office by Rob
ert p. Ervien. who is devoting nll hi
energies to serving the people in u
manner that is above criticism and il
entitled to the heartiest endorsement
Of all voters, irrespective of party
The sale of such portions of public
lands as are suitable for colonization
has brought into the state the kind of
citizenship and class of capital that
is most desirable. The revenues pro-
duced from the leasing of lands are
rapidly increasing and promise soon
to have n marked Influence toward
the reduction of taxes. and the time
is rapidly approaching when all our
state institutions and schools will
he largely maintained by the revenue
produced from the state lands.
We desire likewise to give the seal
of our approval to the very able work
Of Jacobo Chavez, superintendent OF
insurance.
We desire to especially comend th,
work of Hugh II. Williams and Mat.
thew =. Groves of the state corpora
ton commission. We recognize in
Mr.. Williams. one of the most active
and efficient men in charge Of the
vast affairs of our great state. Mr..
Williams started at the bottom Of the
ladder. aud by persistent, honest and
well directed endeavor has attained
a position of honor and responsible
ty, and never for one hour has he
been found wanting. He is active
and alert every minute for the people
who placed him in his position, and
is always eminently fair and just in
his decisions affecting the people and
the business interests with which he
has to deal. HIS work at all times
has been clean, straight and honor
able and the call from the humblest
citizen is given the same degree OF
attention as that from the great
men Of affairs. In the building up
