JEROME SCORES

HABEAS CORPUS DECISION
RESERVED
District Attorney Says Insurance Conn.,

Policy Holders Money to
Influence Election
Rv Associated PresR.

Bv Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 3O.--Arguments
on the habeas corpus proceedings in
made today before Justice Greenbaum
in the state supreme court.
Decision was reserved. Briefs will
be filed Monday by contending counsel
and then Justice Greenbaum will take
the matter of the legality of Mr. Per-
kins arrest under advisement.
District Attorney jerome argued for
the prosecution, and former Judge Will
liam N. Cohen and Lewis Delafield ap-
peared for the defendant. Justice
Greenbaum took the liveliest interest
in the argument, and constantly in
terrupted the lawyers with pointed
questions. Mr.. Jerome said that Grim
inal intention, according to legal auth
oritities, was to appear from all the
circumstances of the case.
Had Mo Right to Pay Money
"The question here" he continued,
"is as to the right of Mr.. Perkins to
pay the money of the policy holders to
a political organization for the purpose
of influencing the results of certain
political matters at the polls. This is
very far from being case where there
is an absence of moral guilt or tur-
pitude.
Shall the officers of corporation
or single officer take the money of
the policy holders, take your and my
money and give it to a political party ?
IT say that such an act is inherently
wrong, whether it is prohibited by law
or not. l say that it is contrary to
public policy, contrary to public moral
itV and contrary as we'll to private
morality and common decency. Half of
the policy holders may have been
Democrats, and to take their money to
assist the Republican party certainly
goes to the establishment of felonious
intent"

Harry Il. Russell
Tried and True

The position of clerk and re-
corder is one of the most impor-
tant within the gift of the people
of the county. 1t devolves upon
him to protect each citizen by
making an accurate record of the
transactions which go to make up
the life of the county, not alone
the public life but to large ex-
tent the personal and business in
terests of every citizen.
For some years the people have
realized this and the denomination
of Harry Fl. Russell to be county
clerk and recorder speaks volumes
as to his efficiency and the faithful
performance of his duties. Mr..
Russell did not desire a renomina-
ton; he has other interests which
require his attention. But the
people recognized the exceptional
qualifications and the integrity Of
the man, and would accept no re-
fusal.
Probably no man is better known
in Conejos county than Mr. Rus
sell: certainly none more favorably.
His official position has brought
him into close contact with all
classes, and he is known and hon
ored by everyone. Loyal to
every interest intrusted to his care,
he is IA model official. The people
appreciate this fact and overwhelm-
ingly demand that he continue to
serve them as county clerk and re-
corder.
The only criticism of Harry II.
Russell as county clerk and re-
corder that has ever been voiced is
that he has been honored by the
people of this county number of
times by election to that important
office. Were it left entirely to the
business interests and the princi-

William {. McGregor
Our Next Sheriff

The Republican county conven-
ton not only complimented itself
but paid deserved tribute to the
worth and character of one of our
foremost citizens when it nomi-
mated for sheriff William G.. Nc
Gregor. For more than a quarter
of II century Mr.. McGregor has
been resident of Conejos county,
and his high character has drawn
about him Gordon of friends who
deem it a favor to be able to ex-
tend to him that respect and es-
TEEN to which he is SO highly en-
titled.
Mr.. McGregor is of quiet dis
position, genial and gentlemanly,
but is possessed of an iron nerve
and unfaltering courage, two prime
requisites in IA peace officer. And
these qualifications alone would
render him an ideal sheriff. He
stands high in the business world,
and his simple promise is IL guar
antee that he will do exactly as he
says. Honorable in the extreme,
courteous and considerate, he will
administer the affairs of this i'm

people. All will readily recog-
nize the importance of this posi-
ton and in choosing Louis O.

gave the citizens II guarantee of
efficiency. Mr.. Chacon is ca
pable, clean and progressive
young man and will bring to the
assessors office every qualification
necessary to clean administration,
having received his education in II
leading Denver college. He is IA
perfect master of English us well
as his native tongue. He is II
gentleman in all respects, polite,
civil and accommodating.
Mr.. Chacon was born in this
county and is descendant OF a
prominent Mexican family. All his
material interests are embraced
within the limits of Conejos
county and he is IA large taxpayer
and influential citizen. He is eX-
tensively y engaged in farming and

Last Saturday the delegate con
vention of Conejos county Repub-
licans met at Conejos, a full repre-
