spoke in his accustomed vein He
thanked the delegates from this coun-
ty for the splendid support they gave
him at the state convention at Santa
Fe; paid his respects to the demo-
cratic claims that a democratic con-
gress is necessary if the war is to be
won quickly and satisfactorily, and
urged that the republicans conduct
their campaign without mud singing
and, above all, to stand together.

The republican party of New Mex
leo, through its delegates assembled in
at Albuquerque on the gard
day of of October, 1918, reaffirms its
to, and faith in, the prin-
ciples which have borne it to victory so
frequently in the past.
We pledge our all. without reserva-
ton, to the triumphant winning of the
war, for the defense of American
rights and principles, and the liberty
of the world against the aggression of
the imperial German government
We declare it is the supreme task of
the civilized world to crush the inso-
lent attempt of German autocracy to
substitute military dictatorship for
self government and independent
thought.
We stand behind our president and
our government with all our resources
Of men, money and patriotism, for the
most vigorous prosecution of the war
to speedy and complete victory.
We demand that there shall be no
peace without such victory, and that
no peace terms be for a moment con-
sidered which do not require COM
plete surrender of Prussian militar-
ism.
We favor the enactment by the legis-
lature of a law to increase the educa-
tional facilities of the state by pro-
viding free opportunity schools
teaching business courses for the edu-
cation of women to prepare them to
enter the business world, but most es-
pecially for soldiers dependents and
relatives.
In view of the necessity for an in
creased coal supply in the United
States we pledge our candidates for
to use their efforts to secure
the construction and operation by the
United States government while the
railroads are under government con-
troll, of line of railroad from Alpu-
querque to the San Juan coal fields,
which are known to be the largest and
best coal fields in the southwest.
We, as citizens of New Mexico,
seeking not alone our local advant-
ages but the common welfare. and
ooking to increased agricultural pro-
luction and to enlarged opportunity
'or homes for our returning SOL
Tiers, urge upon the national gov
srnment the inclusion in the program {
If land reclamation now being formu- ,
ated of the immense area within /
,ur borders, of rich agricultural lands
n various sections of the state, that +,
ire now withdrawn from production ,
~ reason of overflow and high wa ,
err table conditions: and we pledge {
,ur candidates for the senate and
congress to give their earnest COOP /,
,ration looking to the prompt and |
systematic drainage of such agricul-
ural lands under national system. {
The republican party asserts that it l
S the friend of labor, whether that I

he great mass of the common people :
Who work with their hands and who t
