glad to marry rising baseball heroes.
And Mrs. johnson seems so perfectly
happy that several daughters of con-
gressmen are reported to be setting
their caps for the young baseball
heroes who have not as yet selected
their life mates.

JOURNAL PUBLISHES A
REPUTATION Of CHARGE
STATEMENT OF STATE CHAIR
MAN SHOWS HERNANDEZ
is INNOCENT

The Albuquerque Morning Journal,
which styles itself "the leading -repu-
hlican newspaper of the state" but
which is supporting Congressman Fer
gusson (democrat) for reelection and
which supported Governor Mcdonald
(democrat) in his campaign, this
morning published a statement of
Chairman Ralph C. Ely of the republi-
can state central committee refuting
the allegations recently made by the
Journal to the effect that b. C. Her
nandez, republican candidate for con-
g1ess, was guilty of irregularities
while treasurer of Rio Arriba county.
The Journal says that Mr.. Herman
dez could not have been short, in the
sense of a defaulter. The statement
shows that the commissioners were
requested by the retiring treasurer OF
Rio Arriba county to have the travel
ing auditor check up his books and
see what was due, so that final set
tlement could be made with his sue
cessor. The statement is complete
and comprehensive refutation of the
allegation of the Journal.
