isodey 10 the Hat.
Before the recess was finally taken,
however Judge Bernard shaudon
Rodey was called before the conf
mittee as an expert witness on the
factional differences In his home
county. According TO Judge Rode,.
the present struggle Ia OF ancient or
lgin, dating back TO the days when
he himself was candidate for con-
gress and when. by some hocus-pocus.
he failed 10 get the nomination to
which he felt he was justly entitled.
The connection between Judge Ro-
dey's troubles back in the early DAYS
and the present embroglio was not en-
tirely clear. but there was a clear IN
ference In his remarks that the solu-
ton of all difficulties could readily be
found if the convention would only
display the good sense to settle on
him as lis standard bearer for this and
all subsequent campaigns for con-
gress In New Mexico.

ness came over the face Of Mr. Ortiz
as this action was taken, but he sub

grace possible.
Judge Rodey then took up where
he left off at the forenoon session and
after first assuring the committee that
the Andrews delegation was composed
OF his personal and political friends.
gave It as his opinion that the dele
gates were boilers because they had
not complied with certain technicali-
ties Of procedure which he outlined.
Nestor Montoya was then called to
the stand, aud with perfectly
stfnlght face read to the committee
copy of the celebrated resolutions
adopted by the central committee Of
Bcrnalillo county by which the mem-
bcrs decided that they would con-
tinue themselves in office for two
years beyond the term for which they
had been chosen This was done
with an air Of finality that Indicated
that Mr.. Montoya considered the mat
ter finally and irrevocaply settled by
This action.
