Republicans of the county, II we
count Hubbells 1900 as all Repub-
licans. Now, of these 1900, a large
number, probably more than half.
were led to support Hubbell by the
cry which was set up that Hubbelrs
organization was the only regular one.
and in view of the action of territorial
committee and convention in refusing
us recognition, there was foundation
for the claim. Those men were not
animated Oy any personal attachment
to Hubbell, and would gladly be with
US II you will declare us to be the
regular organization. This will give
us a vote of over 5000 at the next
election out of o total which will then
be perhaps as much as 4,500. We
will have a compact, united party, and
can assure the Republican candidate
for Congress a large majority. We
speak of this particularly because we
cannot shut our eyes 10 the fact that
the conditions which prevailed in the
campaign of 1906 had a disastrous ef-
feet upon the delegate vote. Every
effort should be made to avoid re-
currence of those unfortunate condi-
tions. But we have redeemed our
Hubbell, and we will never consent to
any step which will endanger our
future.
The unanimous sentiment of the
Republicans for whom we speak is
that they will never take part in any
primary meetings, or convention,
called by any committee headed by
Frank Hubbell, or with which he is
connected, or which is even suspected
of favoring MIN in any way whatever.
At the same time they must not be
understood as entertaining any ami
mostly toward those Republicans who
adhered to Hubbell on the mistaken
ground of party regularity or as hav-
ing the least objection to affiliating
with them as fellow Republicans.
We submit to you that we are en-
titled to recognition by you for ouI
county organization as representing
the Republican party of Bernalillo
county, and that right. justice and
political expediency all support our
claims
We present also a list of the mem
bers and officers of our county com
mittee and of the mem bers of oui
executive committee, that you may
see who and what they are.
We remain. as faithful Republicans

Mr.. Klock consumed the time of
the committee from half past ten un-
I'll about the noon hour. arguing the
justice of the demand. He repeated
substantially what was set forth in
the printed copies, with the addition
of numerous references to numerous
Judases. Benedict Arnolds and the
eleven faithful apostles.
He was asked and replied to some
dozen questions concerning the iden-
tity of the fusion forces. whom he
said were all staunch Republicans.
He said the fusion forces had i'm
no manner co-operated with the
Democrats at the last election. al
though admitting that they had given
two Democrats strong places upon
their county ticket. He said that
the fusion forces did not knife the
Republican delegate to Congress but
indirectly charged that slump up to
the regular organization He de-
clared that the fusion forces were the
voice of the people and that they
must be recognized. While Mr.
Klock's speech was carefully worded,
there was apparently a veiled threat
that If recognition was not given, the
fusionists would cooperate with the
Democrats against a Republican tick
ct In Bernalillo county, although Mr..
Klock disclaimed such intent.
He was asked several direct ques-
tions concerning the election returns,
which he evaded by referring to the
returns from previous elections be-
fore the fusion force was organized
Mr.. Bursum, chairman of the com
mittee, then asked Mr. Klock II the
Republican element of the fusion
party would be willing to submit the
matter Of the county organizatio to

ton, Mr.. KlOck was not prepared TO
say. He said he thought they would
he himself would advise it-but
he could not answer it positively
without comforting with the members
of the committee OF that organiza-
ton. This he agreed 20 do and to
report at the afternoon session.
In The Interim, upon motion of Mr..
Sptess, committee of seven was
named TO consider the demands Of
the fusion forces and report upon
them to the central committee at the
afternoon session.
The committee was as follows:
II. o. Bursum, Solomon Luna, G. A.
Spiess, II. b. Holt, Gregory Page,
w, II. Newcomb and Malaqulas Mar
tlnez.
Thomas y. Wilkerson, a member
Of the Bernalillo county central com
mlttee, replied to the speech made
by Mr.. Klock i'm a short address in
which he maintained that the present
organization was the party organiza-
ton and entitled to all its rights and
privileges. He charged that the fus-
ion forces were boilers, who united
with the Democrats to defeat the
Republican ticket and that they were
not entitled to recognition.
At the conclusion Of Mr Wilker-
sons speech, Frank Hubbell, chair
man OF the Bernalillo county CEN
trail committee, gave notice that he
would reply to the charges made by
Mr.. Klock against him. at the after
noon session, The committee then
adjourned for lunch.

a Theory as to the Origin Of This
Monetary Symbol.
The origin of the dollar mark is one
OF the curios of our financial history.
In the early days Of the nation there
was utter confusion in the circulating
medium. Several of the colonies had
authorized coins of different denomina-
lions, and, besides these, there were
English pence. shillings. crowns and
half crowns: French coins brought
from Europe and Canada: Spanish
coins Of half dozen denominations,
especially reals and doubloons: MexI-
can coins; in Pennsylvania Dutch and
German pieces, and along the coast
Portuguese and even Italian money
was often seen. brought by seamen.
The United States mint was estab-
lished in 1901. and the United States
coinage became, of course, the legal
tender. The mixed coinage. however,
was not at once displaced. but contin-
