 Hoghe is d democrat and something of conservationist. Knowing these facts one wouldn't fancy him to be a strong Balhnger man. But he is the staunchest defender the much inves- tigated cabinet member has in AriZo- ma.
 'I don't care what they say about BalHnger-Tm for him." said Hoghe the other day. "Why am I so strong for him? He's all right-thats why Didn't he decide that homestead case in my favor?"
 Then Hoghe went on to recite the history of a contest filed against him in the local land office by one Emil Hauser. Hauser claimed quarter section across the river which the supervisor had staked out for himself Hoghe won here and the case was ap- pealed. finally reaching Secretary Ballinger himself. the court of last resort in homestead contests.
