That Frank A. Hubbell will dictate
the nomination of the candidate Tor
district Judge in the district composed
OF Bernalillo Mckinley and SandoVal
counties was the decision reached by
the followers of the dcposed Boss, as
semblcd in Solemn roHoiave at th'
Elks theater yesterday afternoon
The boss had neglected 10 take the
public into his confidence on this
part of the program and many ol
the republicans of this county Will
learn with surprise that the nomina-
tion for the iudgeship will be made
without consulting them 1t is just
possible that there are number OF
republicans in Albuquerque ami IN
Bornalillo county who will have some
few remarks to make before the
choice of Mr.. Hubbell for district
Judge IS ratified by the voters. In
the district convention to nominate
the Judge and district attorney. Ber-
naillo county has twenty-five votes,
while Sandoval and Mckinley com
bned have only Fifteen. Therefore
nothing stands in the way of Mr..
Hubbells plans, but the win of the
voters of this county. 1t is not un-
likely however. that this objection
when it is heard, win prove forml-
dable.

Baca, who is Il canuiuate for district
Judge stood nobly by the boss on TINS
portion of the program. Outside OF
this little incident it was seldom
necessary Tor Mr.. Hubbell to inter
fere. though once or twice he found II
necessary to prompt Judge Mann
when the latter forgot his lines.

oStensible purpose of selecting twenty
five delegates to the republican stat
convention at Las Vegas. This it did

Twenty-Five good men and true, but II
picked out twenty-five more VINO WI
30 to Las Vegas in the hope that they
may be seated and the whole buncf
given half vote apiece. This wa'
done over the vigorous objection OF
Elfego. who, with brutal frankness
told the convention that it would
be exceedingly lucky If any of IT.
