A magnificent outpouring OF the
people filled floor and gallery Of the
Elks' theater last night In the clos
ing rally of the democrats and pro-
essive-republicans. More than
thousand people listened to the
speakers and cheered them to the
echo. II was meeting OF the busi-
ness men. the professional men, the
laborlng men of the city, gathered In
great enthusiastic mass meeting to
testify TO their interest IN the cleo
tion OF an anti Hubben ticket In Ber-
nalillo county and in the election of
an honest state ticket.
Hon. ]. r. Sulzer, candidate for
senator In the shoe string district
presided and IN his introductory re-
marks said the district was created
for the special benefit OF Frank Hub
bell, who expected 20 be the first
senator and Mr., Sulzer regretted
that Mr. Hubbell had deemed 1t pru-
dent not to offer himself as cam
didate.
While member OF the territorial
legislation, Mr.. Sulzer said he had
opposed bill by Frank .Hubbell for
the levy of a three mill tax on the
people OF Bernallllo county for the
payment of many thousands of dol
lars Mr.. Hubbell claimed was due
him. The bill was passed, but Gov
ernor Hagerman vetoed IL.
Mr.. Sulzer then introduced Former
Governor Hagerman, who reached
the city last night after a campaign
tour Of three weeks through the ter
rltory.t
Governor Hagerman said he had
found the people up In arms In all
parts Of the territory determined TO
overthrow the power of the machine
that was responsible for the nomina-
ton OF the ticket at Las Vegas.
The speech made here by Mr.. Bur-
sum was taken up by Governor Hag-
erman and IL was punched full of
big holes, showing inaccuracies OF
statements, evasions and efforts to
deceive the people.
Governor Hagerman closed his
speech with a strong appeal to repub-
leans to support the democratic
ticket this year in the interest OF
decency and good government.
Hon q. A. Richardson, who has
been In charge Of the speakers bur
eau for the democratic state cam
paign committee, here enroute
TO Roswell to vote on election dav.
was introduced and reported that In
formation from every section of the
state shows o tremendous landslide
for Mcdonald and the whole demo-
cratic ticket
Hon. II. II. Hanna, who has ac-
companed Governor Hagerman on
his triumphal tour of the state. was
the next speaker. When he appeared
on the stage he was greeted with pro-
longcd cheers. His speech was a ter
rifle arraigDment of the candidates
on the stand-pat republican party
ticket showing the records of them
and their friends. He also spoke OF
Mr.. Bursum's advocacy OF the Hawk
ins bill and his lame attempt to
evade responsibility therefor because
at the time Of IFS passage he was not
Il member OF the legislature or chair
man OF the republican territorial CEN
tral committee. Mr. Hanna showed
that he was at the head Of the lobby
that forced the bill through and that
he kept on the statute books for
seven years until it was repealed by
congress.
Hon. O. ". Marion was the next
speaker and his remarks were direct
ed to county affairs showing how the
courts had been abused through the
use of the assessors office and the
sheriffs office under the Hubhell reg
mie to oppress and plumber the peo-
pie of BernalillO county and particu-
larly how Hubhell has placed two of
his tools on the ticket for county
commissioners,
Mr.. Marion was applauded so Of
ten that 1t seriously interfered with
the delivery OF his speech and when
ever he paused the crowd shouted,
''go on
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Marrow's
speech, Hon Neill b. Field was intro
duced and il is safe to saw that no
more telling speech has been made
during the campaign. Mr. Field said
people had wondered why he was not
on the stump speaking and that the
republicans intimated that he was
not supporting the democratic ticket.
