ONE MAN RULE HAS ENDED
IN COUNTY OF BERNAIILIO

What is the use" said Malaquias
Martinez, with a disgusted air, "of
discussing any plan If you are not at
liberty to do anything
Il am not the republican party of
Bernalillo county" said Mr. Gillen-
water. with considerable distinctive
ness "the time has passed when one
man can dictate to the party in this
county and ! trust to God that it will
never return. The party affairs here,
he said with heat ARE conducted
differently than in the county from
which the gentleman comes" This
was calculated to hold Mr.. Martinez
for a while. but the latter launched
into lengthy speech, saying that Mr.
|Gillenwater got insulted too easily,
that there was no need for anyone
to get in a huff, that he had not come
to argue with MIR. Gillenwater nor
anyone else, but had proffered his
services In the interest OF harmony,
and felt hurt that his motives were
impugned Mr. Gillenwater denied
questioning any motives. but pointed
out again that an attempt on his part
to dictate the action of his commit
tee without authority would not tend
to promote harmony Judge Wright
then adjourned the session. stating
that all the affidavits adduced and
other testimony would be preserved
In the record. Following the adjourn
ment came the executive session and
decision at the AlVarado last night.

NO ONE KNEW WHY CUAIRMaN
WAS NOT ASKED TO CALL

At the morning session Mr.. Moli-
mari asked Francisco A. Hubbell
why Mr.. Gillenwater was not re-
quested to call the meeting at the
time of the Hubbell bolt
Mr.. Hubbel said a majority of the
committee had signed the call and a
copy Of it had been sent to Mr.. Gill
enwater.
Mr.. HOLMAN asked Mr.. Hubbell
why Mr.. Gilenwater had not been
asked to call the meeting.
THE members of the committee,
said Mr.. Hubbell, took the matter in
their hands and requested him to call
the meeting or attend IT,"
"Why was Mr.. Gillenwater not ask
ed to call the meeting in the first in
stance?" continued the questioner.
II don't know" said Mr.. Hubbell.
Neither Does Judge Mann Know.
In reply to a question from Hollo-
man Judge Mann also responded that
he didn't know why Mr.. Gillenwater
was not asked to call the meeting.
WAS Mr.. Gillenwater recognized as
the legal chairman" asked Mr.
Holloman.
Yes" said Judge Mann.
why then asked Mr.. Holoman,
"was he not asked to call this
meeting"
II don't know" said Judge Mann,
lhis testimony thus corroborating per-
feetlv that of Mr. Hubbell.
Judge Mann informed Mr.. Molinari
that Mr.. Gillenwater would have been
thrown out Of the county conven-
tion but for Manns good offices.
"Why did You want a new chair
man." asked Mr. Moinari.
II will tell YOU" said Judge Mann.
