past record and staunch friendship
he has shown for the movement. but
because he is eminently fitted in cul-
ture. intellect and energy to admria-
bly, fill the important Office Of Con-
gresham should he be nominated
and elected
Mr.. Hubbard is one of the ablest
attorneys in the State and has been
generally recognized as the leader OF
the State bar. He Is thorough
scholar, has a ready fund Of informa-
ton on State topics and his nomina-
ton would crafty a worthy State
pride. AT this writing (June 7th)
it looks as though his nomination was
an assured fact. recent publicity hav-
ing served to turn in his favor many
who. at an earlier date. favored an
other candidate.
Conditions this year are different
than heretofore: the public demand
now is for a candidate who will be an
honor to his party and the State
should be elected. Because a man is
shrewd- politician does not signify
that he is the right man to assist in
making the nations laws. and the peo-
pie in the future will not be dupei as
frequently as they have been in the
past. The prevailing demand for
greater fidelity and efficiency among
its public men will have audible re-
