At the republican, county con-
vention, which was held yesterday
in the court house in old Town, the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
We, the republican delegates of
Bernalillo county, New Mexico, in
convention assembled at the court
house in Old Albuquerque, New
Mexico, do hereby resolve:
That we stand for Americanism
land American institutions as
founded by George Washington
and his associates, and as express
ed in the spirit of the constitution
of the United States and safe-
guarded by its provisions.
We believe that the policies adj
'Nocated in Washington farewell
address are as potent today to the
American people as when express
ed by him, that it is our true pol
icy to steer clear of permanent al
liances with any portion of the for
eign world" and that the same
question could be asked today as
by him, "Why quit our own to
stand upon foreign soil? Why by
Interviewing our destiny with that
of any part of Europe. entangle
our peace and prosperity in the
tolls of European ambition. rival
ship, interest, humor and caprice ?"
Be it further resolved, that it is
the sense of this convention that
the American people and their in
terests will be best protected by
the principles enunciated in the
organization of the great republic
can party which elected as its first
president Abraham Lincoln, under
whose wise American leadership
this nation was preserved intact,
and who announced the heart OF
our constitution and form of gov
ernment when he said this is "a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people" and as
this doctrine of thorough and gen.
uine Americanism has been upheld.
preached and practiced by such
men as James A. Garfield, William
Mckinley and the late Theodore
Roosevelt.
Be it further resolved that we
stand irrevocably in favor of ma
tionalism as opposed to expert
mental nternationalism, so prom
inently advanced by the present
administration. We heartily en-
dorse the wise leadership of Hon.
Will H. Hays, chairman of the
national republican committee, and
pledge him our unswerving sup
port for republican success in the
coming campaign.
Be it further resolved that we
approve and adopt his suggestion
recently made. that "the republi-
can party stands for the develop
ment and execution of the planfor
the reduction of taxes, with the re-
peal of taxes which kill initiative,
and the spreading of war debt over
a large number of years"
Be it further resolved that we
recognize the dignity and honor of
labor and the necessity that justice
and square deal be given it at all
times and we further approve and
adopt the suggestion of the ma
tional chairman that there "shall
be developed a better relation be-
tween labor and capital, with JUS
tice to both. and with justice to the
public as the third side of the tri-
angle and that there shall be an
administration of law and order
everywhere in the nation"
Be it further resolved that we,
the republicans of Bernalillo coun-
ty in convention assembled, do
most heartily endorse the splendid
Irecord of the sixty-sixth republican
congress in its policy of economy
whereby it saved to the nation
nearly billion dollars in appro-
prfation bills.
We also endorse the action Of
that republican congress in its
passage of the woman suffrage
amendment; in passing an effective
prohibition law; in liberalizing the
war risk insurance for the soldiers,
sailors and marines, and taking
other measures for the relief of
those who nobly defended our
country in the late war.
We strongly favor budget sys-
tenn in the national government,

cost to the taxpayer.
We endorse and commend the
republican state administration for
the resolute stand it has taken in
support of republican principles of
government and particularly do we
commend the action of the chief
executive of this state in calling the
extra session of the state legisla-
ture and the republican members
of that honorable body for ratify-
ing the Susan b. Anthony amend-
ment to the constitution of the
United States making it possible for
the womanhood of our beloved
country to participate fully in its
affairs and enjoy full rights of
citizenship.
We heartily endorse the actions

endorse the good service rendered
by the Hon. B. C. Hernandez, con-
gressman from New Mexico

hereby extend our heartfelt thanks
to the soldiers sailors and marines
