,s,,ac,al Correspondence to Morning JDurnall
Alamogordo, N. M. July 29.--As
was predicted in this correspondence
few days ago, the Fall Hawkins
combination of corporation agents
has turned it's first trick in its scheme
10 relieve the people of Otero county
of the trouble of selecting their dele
gates TO go up to the constitutional
convention. Thus far its well lald
plans have been carried out without
a hitch. 1t only remains now for the
voters to determine whether they
win lay down under the steam roller
and let the Fall scheme go through,
naming Fall and two associate dele
gates selected by him and his assist
ants as the county's representatives IN
making the constitution.
Yesterday the two county central
committees met here. There was re-
bellion on the part 81 one or two
members in each committee; who had
not been brought TO see the corpora
ton light But the majority of eaeh
committee had been properly at
tended to, and SO far as the two com
mlttees are concerned the corpora
lion scheme is go.
Primaries for both parties were
called to meet August lBth. botil
conventions were called; or we should
say summoned, TO meet in Alamo
eordo NJ the same hrur. AnglT' 2nih
when the "non-partisan" scheme VIII

This is oil in complete accord with
the program put UP by Fail and ms
hackers, chief among whom is POST
master Hawkins, brother of w. A.
Hawkins. the framer of the Hawkins
railroad law: The principal Hawkins
is not showing up personally in tins
fight any more than he can heip' ou'
with brother postmaster on the
ground as his personal representative
he is enjoying his usual part In ar
ranging things so as to save the dear
people trouble.
Fail and his hackers are saying AZ
little as they can about his candidacy
Although il Is known, and Is glVei
out cold to the faithful that Fail ha'
been chosen as chief delegate ah'
that his two associates, who VIII Do
figureheads. have been Determined
on. yet among the rank and NE o.
the voters the corporation workers
are SAYING as little as they can
careful survey Of the county has peer
made and this has demonstrated u
the corporation agents that FAN rs no

cincts. but that he enjoys no grea

unorganized, Up to this ume 'h
opposition has no organization an
so long as this condition continue
il is helpless against the careiuilN OF

the corporation crowd. This Is TN
real danger to the people in the sl'u
alton here. If they were organize

elect their own delegates to the cor
vention. The fact remains that UP
this time they are not organized an
the field is clear for the steam rolie
Already there is great deai
quiet talk about available Doodle
necessary to carry out the program
To counteract this the corporate
agents have started story To u
effect that w H. Andrews wants
heat Fall and that he has put lars
sum OF money in the lield TO 90
Men who have supported AnoreN
here in the past, laugh at the stor
They say that heretofore Andrew
money has been ninety per cent W.T.
