The platform adopted by the
democratic convention at Albu-
querque, August IS, follows:
State Democratic convention.
We, your committee on resolu-
tions, beg to submit the following:
The democratic party of New
Mexico, in convention assembled,
extends its greetings to Woodrow
Wilson, whose public services as
chief executive will forever remain
a source of pride to the party, as
to the nation,
In the eight years of democratic
administration under Woodrow
Wilson more constructive legisla-
ton in behalf OF the people was
enacted than under any previous
administration in our history.
Among some of the great
achievements of the late democrat
ic administration were:
The world war brought to
successful conclusion, although the
establishment Of world peace was
obstructed and prevented by re-
publican partisanship, resulting in
the present chaotic conditions
throughout the world.
The world war financed. both
for American and for the allied
and associated nations, without a
panic, and with the credit of the
nation maintained secure--the
greatest financial undertaking in
the worlds history.
Passage OF the federal reserve
bank act, which has made the ma
a. ev.nofaHt
rency act in all legislation.
Passage of the federal farm loan
act, the Underwood tariff act, the
child labor act and the working
mems compensation act.
Establishment Of the depart
ment of labor; also of a woman's
bureau in the department of labor,
which latter a.republican congress
destroyed by Withholding appro-
priations.
Development of the parcels post
act and extension of the rural free
delivery.
The democratic party also passed
during this period, the Smith-Lev-
er agricultural extension act, es-
.tablished the bureau of markets
and the bureau of farm MANAGE
ment, federal trades commission
act, besides enacting many other
measures resulting in incalculable
benefit to agriculture.
We are proud of this splendid
record OF democratic achievements.
Revising Our Foreign Policies.
The republican party, by mem
daciouS misrepresentation persist
emily attacked the foreign policies
of the democratic administration,
and it's candidate for president in
the late election pledged himself
to completely reverse the foreign
policies of the Wilson administra-
tion if elected.
On August 16. 1920, at Ma
rion, Mr.. Harding said: 1.-THE
republican party expects a re-
sweeping change in the
foreign policies of the nation.
There will be a complete reyer-
SAL"
Mexico.
Since 1t assumed control of the
foreign affairs of the nation. the
republican party. instead of COM
pletely reversing the foreign poll
cies of the previous administra-
ton, has followed exactly in its
footsteps whenever it has been
compelled by the force of circum-
stances to deal with foreign ~af-
fairs.
The democratic policy in regard
to our relations with Mexico has
been one of friendship, patience
and n-intervention.
This policy has found express
sion not only in the language of
the Mexican plank of the 1920
platform of the national demo-
cratic party, but in the consistent
acts of the last democratic ad-
ministration.
The Mexican plank in the repub-
lican party is on the contrary, ar
rogant, belligerent and threaten"
ing.
But Notwithstanding this fact,
the wisdom of the democratic poll
icy, both as to recognition, and as
to intervention, has been ac-
knowledged by the republican ad-
nlinistration, and that administra-
ton has seen no good reason for
its reversal.
Peace With Germany.
That the failure of the republican
adminiotration to keep the promise
to make peace with Germany
promptly is largely responsible for
the chaotic conditions that exist in
world trade today, and in spite OF
President Harding's promises our
