stitution which will enable the wo-
men of this State to hold office and
enjoy the full rights of American citi-
zenship, and we earnestly recommend
the ratification of this amendment.
We commend the Republican Leg
~islature for its action in response to
the requests of many citizens in SUBJ
hitting tie mother amendments to the
constitution for consideration and ac-
ton by the people of the state.
We stand for the proper apprecia
ton by the Nation of the valuable
and patriotic services rendered during
the great World War by our SOL
diers, sailors, marines and nurses, and
most heartily commend Senator Holm
in securing the same recognition by
our Government for the ~ex-service
men disabled in that war as is ac-
corded to soldiers, sailors and marines
in the regular army and navy.
We also commend Senator Bursuin
Tor his support of measures to secure
just compensation for those who serv-
ed our country in the great World
War.
We endorse the action of Senator
H. O. Bursum in his vote against the
recommittal of the Soldiers Adjusted
Compensation measure, as we favor
the enactment of legislation for the
benefit of those who served in the
Military and Naval forces of the coun-
try during the period of the late EN-
Urgency. We fully recognize the JUS
tice of their claims Tor an equitable
indemnity and feel that this great
debt, which the country owes to those
who served her in time Of need. can
not be paid, nor the financial handi-
cap to which they were subjected be
adequately Unidentified for through
words OF praise and resolutions Of
thanks.
We therefore pledge the candidate
of this convention to vote and work
for the passage, at the next regular
session of congress, of the program
of remedial legislation as advocated
by the leading organizations of ex-
service men and women.
We feel that this State should rel-
der every material aid and assistance
within her power to her ex-service
men and women in overcoming this
financial handicap which they suffer-
I'd on account of their absence from
their ordinary pursuits Of business
while representing New Mexico in
the Army and Navy of our Country,
and we therefore endorse Constitu-
'.ional Amendment No. 4, which auth
orizcs the Legislature to exempt from
taNation, in the sum of two thousand
dollars, every honorably discharged
soldier, sailor and marine.
We heartily approve and appreciate
the splendid record made by our Sen
ator, Holm 0. Bursum, during the
brief period he has served as United
States Senator from New Mexico. We
commend his untiring efforts urging
mea sures for the relief and protection
of our people engaged in the live
stock and agricultural industries.
We heartily commend the action of
the Honorable Holm O. Bursum and
the Honorable Nestor Montoya for
Introducing in the Congress of the
States a bill looking to a fair
and equitable settlement of the just
of our citizens to the lands
they and their ancestors have
occupied for many generations, the
title to which was attacked and
brought into ligitation by the last de-
nocratic administration.
We heartily approve and commend
he course of our able representative
Congress, Honorable Nestor Mon
and recognize and applaud his
,ncrgctic activities on behalf of the
people.
We commend the able administra-
ion OF our Governor, the Honorable
Merritt {. Mechem, and the actions
II the Republican legislature in enact
ng progressive laws recommended in
he party platform Of 1920.
The Republican party stands for
