The following is a copy of resolu-
tlons adopted by the Quay County
Prohibition Party in It's recent county
convention:
we recommend the adoption Of the
following resolutions:
he IL Resolved by the Prohibition
Party Of Quay county, New Mexico, in
County convention assembled this 10th
day Of August. 1916.
That we pledge u support TO the
National ticket of the Prohibition par-
", j. Frank iianley. for president. and
Ira Landrith for v~ice-president.
We heartily endorse the platform
adopted by the National Prohibition
party.
We believe only in supporting men
Tor public Office in the Nation, State.
and County, who are in favor of Pro
n%ibltion; who are independent Of the
iiquor support for their election and
VINO are not under obligation TO the
hquor forces; and who are CAPABLE ms
well, by reason Of their qualification
OF defeating opposing candidates who
stand for opposing principles. We do
not believe in lending our D 10
n candidate simply because he is IA
vorable to prohibition, unless he has
also the qualifications to make him n
good public servant, and to success
fuiiy make the race to sustain the Is.
sues of the campaign.
In view Of the fact hat the prohi
bition, Party in this county is not fully
organized in all precincts and is n new
organization and a minority party, W.
recommend that instead Of independ-
emily nominating a full ticket, we en-
dorse candidates nominated on other
tickets who are favorable 10 our nrin-
ciples and are otherwise qualified 10
make efficient and honest public SER
wants making nominations independ-
emily on the Prohibition Ticket only
for those Offices where the other par
ties have failed to nominate such men
as can consistently be given the sup.
port Of this party.
We do not believe in wholesale con-
OF opposing party officials,
n believe in recognizing merit where
merit is to be found, and we recognize
that both the Democratic and Republi.
can parties have given to this county
and state able and honest servants in
many Offices, and we especially com.
mend the honest, fearless, and loyal
stand ta5en by Hon. d. J. Finegan,
