TO the Editor of the Albuquerque
Morning journal:
AS an apostle of harmony In po"
ljtical affairs, hailing from couh-
~ wherein that desirable attribute
is not only preached but zealously
nracticed, | was greatly interested
in the purposes and developments
of the recent republican dinner at
Albuquerque.
No political party can succeed
without thorough and efficient or
ganization; without harmony etil-
cheney of organization Is imposs1-
ble; harmony tends to promote
elficiency9 and efficiency OF organ
2ation is bulwark against dis
cord. Where discord exists har-
mony can be restored only by fos'
tering a spirit of tolerance for
those whose views, opinions and
wishes may be at variance with our
own.
Having been bred, born and
reared a republican, and believing
in the principles of the party, ]
have always strongly advocated
party loyalty. From the stand
point of party loyalty and efficI-
ency of party organization, 1t
would seem desirable, when radical
differences of opinion arise, cl
when party reforms appear advis-
able, that such differences should
be adjusted and reforms effected
within the party ranks, and there
is an effective method for the ac-
,complishment OF such results. 1t
lies with the rank and file of the
party. But we should be tolerant
aof the varying views of others as
TO the proper remedy to be sought
under exceptional circumstances
and not arrogate to ourselves a
claim of right TO sit in judgment
and harshly to impugn the actuat-
ing or apparently actuating motives
3of those who may feel impelled to
seek remedies or to redress real or
fancied wrongs outside of party
lines. Let us remember always
that the ultimate power of decision
'5s vested in the people by majority
Vote to express their will, and that
a fundamental principle of our gov
ernment is that the will Of the ma
jority must prevail.
Party success is primarily de-
pendent upon efficient organiza-
tion, which can not be effected
without party harmony.
The defeat suffered by the re-
publican party at the two first
state elections is directly attribut-
able to factional differences in va.
Tious republican county strong
holds. and those differences were
largely engendered by strife over
local affairs.
The party should profit by and
heed the lessons which were thus
taught, and every loyal republican
jim every county and political sub
division of the state, whose prin-
cipal interest is and should be TO
promote the success of the state
ticket. should exert all possible in
sfluence to avoid a repetition of
seformer disastrous experiences and
TO restore harmony wherever dis
cord exists or may arise. In some
Instances such a couse OF conduct
may involve sacrifice of personal
pride or ambition; but every citi-
