This committee presented as re-
port the names of the delegates al
ready given, the report being adopt
ed
The Silver Tongued orator of Old
Albuquerque got the floor about this
time and denounced all Pennsylvania
because w. II. Andrews came from
| that state, called the other cOnven-
| ton boilers and lauded Elfego Baca
TO the skies to the tune of twenty
minutes or so, including the time de-
voted to apostrophes to the sacred
soil of New Mexico, the race issue,
etc. He declared that If the republi-
cans were defeated in the state this
year il would be the fault of the
ring which had held the other con-
vention
Some committees being ready to re-
port by this time, Mr.. Ortiz was Civ
en- the hook. The convention recessed
to o'clock after receiving these re-
ports.
Afternoon Session More Brisk.
At the afternoon session, when the |
other convention was not present to
make the Baca forces nervous and
the spectators had decreased about |
so per cent in number and conse- |
quently the applause was not 80
strenuous and the delegates were /
able to work undisturbed business /
was far more brisk In fact, the ses-
sion went ahead in the good old style,
with speeches galore and enthusiasm
as per schedule.
Chairman Romero called the'meet-
ing to order and declared nomina-
tons for legislative candidates open.
This offered the Peerless One Of the
Rio Grande the opportunity for the
best speech made by him at this con-
vention he nominating his old coll
lege chum, Nestor Montoya, in a
flowery address. Mr.. Ortiz said some
really good things in this speech,
paying splendid tribute to the abil-
ity and hard work of Mr.. Montoya,
his industry in educating himself
while beset by difficulties, and gem
orally showed a deeper side little
suspected by his casual auditors of
the morning.
Mr.. Montoya was nominated with
out opposition. Instead of delivering
the address of thanks which was ex-
pected when he arose. he declared
himself I'm on the mutual admiration
society by nominating Mr.. Ortiz for
the lower house. paying him an even
deeper tribute than had been his own
lot. Mr.. Ortiz also had no opposition
for the place.
Jose +. Romero, former justice of Q
the peace Of Old Albuquerque, sur !
prised the crowd, which had grown .
some by that time, by delivering a i
real od-fashioned spellhinder's adj a
dress in nominating John w. Wilson c
FOR the third place on this section of :
the ticket. Like the others, Mr.. Will
son had no opposition. He not be-
ing present, the audience was spared
another speech. p
Elfego Baca was then called upon Il
TO address the crowd while the reso- r
utions committee got through the t
work the leaders had expected to a
shove off to Judge Mann. He made n
/ brilliant talk, so adroit that 1t was
impossible to say whether he intend
I'd to arouse in his fellow citizens of ]
spanish descent greater attention to'y
