CARRIZOZO, LINCOLN COUNTY. NEW MEXICO, OCTOBER 0, 1911.
NUMBER 3G
WINNING TICKET IS NAMED BY
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION.
Mcdonald, of carrizozo, heads the ticket.
The greatest and most enthusiastic meeting ever held in
New Mexico passed into history at Santa Fe Thursday evening,
when the first democratic state convention adjourned. The
immense hall was packed to its capacity at every session of the
convention with delegates, and the gallery was at all times
crowded. Every county was fully represented, many having
double and some triple the number of delegates they had votes
in the convention.
For temporary chairman, H. B. Fergusson, of Albuquer
que, was chosen. Upon assuming the chair, Mr. Fergusson
delivered a very able address. He outlined the position of the i
democratic party upon the momentous questions of the day, i
and, in burning, eloquent words, portrayed the wrongs under j
which the people suffered. Permanent organization was ef
fected the following day, by the election of G. A. Richardson,
of Roswell, permanent chairman. Mr. Richardson delivered a
brief address, which was full of pointed and telling sentences,
bristling with strong thought and intelligent application.
The real wor1 of convention began upon the adoption of
the platform and resolutions Wednesday afternoon, after
which nominations were in order. At five o'clock the chair
called for nominations for governor. Bernalillo county yielded
to Lincoln county, and Jno. A. Haley, for that delegation, pre
sented the name of W. C. McDonald, of Lincoln county. The
mention of Mr. McDonald's name broght forth vociferous and
continued applause, and was seconded by every delegation in
the hall, Mr. Fergusson making the most stirring speech of
the convention in seconding the nomination of Mr. McDonald.
The nomination was made by acclamation, and the nominee
was escorted to the platform. Mr. McDonald spoke for thirty
minutes, heartily and firmly, and convinced his hearers that
he would, if elected, do just what he said he would give New
Mexico a just and economical administration. His forceful ex
pressions struck a responsive chord, and there was no question I
as to how he was regarded by the vast assemblage who be- j
lieved he should and would be elected governor.
The nominations of the other candidates were made the
following day, among whom were two progressive republicans,
R. H. Hanna for the supreme bench and G. H. Van Stone for '
corporation commissioner. The names of all the candidates !
are to be found in another column, and the platfoem will be '
published later.
The progressive republican league pledged its support to
the entire democratic ticket. This support of the progressives
means that some of the heretofore strong republican counties
have been placed in the debatable column. Some of the most
prominent members of the republican party are associated
With the progressive republican league, and will stump the
ttiPritory in the interest of the democratic tiGket.
