Judge IIewltt's Merits.
So far as Judge Hewitt Is concerned,
every one who knows him cannot hut
admit that 40 better man, No ADLER
lawyer, no more honorable citizen
lives anywhere on earth. lie Is n
man qualified by past legislative eN-
perience. his legal learning and train
ing cannot nut be Of immense services
his long residence IN this county
makes him acquainted with eondl-
lions here and he would he able to
instigatc valuable local legislation for
the benefit of his constituency. his
mature years would not only preclude
any grand-stand hy-plays, but when
he spoke or counseled he would nave
deferential, decOrous and reverential
attention; while he is democrat and
allied with the party in It's policies, u
is believed that he would not support
radical measures Of any Kind. no mat
ter by which party orlglnated-thai
in his work he would he sane, rational
and reasonable But, on the other
hand, IL is said that his advanced
years would be a hindrance. In that he
would not be as buoyant and enthusi-
astic a representative as the people
want: that his recent lndisposition.
which has not entirely disappeared,
would be j drawback. and that be-
cause OF the fact he, with his former
law partner, United States Marshal
A. II. Hudspeth, was the legal advisor
for Carrizozo In the recent county seat
fight. he cannot poll a vote on the east
side OF the county.
Opposition Il Apparent.
Reasonable people In both parties
feel that none OF these reasons for his
defeat are sound; but those same rea-
sonahlo people admit that there may
be some truth to the feeling on the
east side of the county with reference
10 the county seat case. Many of the
residents of that section do not under
stand that Judge Hewitt was simply
practicing law In the county seat fight
and was one Of the attorneys for the
Carrizozo faction because he was en-
ployed by them and paid his fee: that
had the eastsiders engaged him to
help them retain the county seat at
Lincoln he would have worked for
them and their interests with the same
unflagging energy and undaunted
courage Here. then, Is another In
stance going 10 show that county seat
fights ere not always settled when the
courthouse and jail are established on
a new piece OF ground. However,
Judge Hewitt accepted the nomina-
wouls NOT make personal canvass-
that If any eamnaipn in his behalf Is
II must be done by his
friends Ana no has many who vii,
he in tho field for him from now until
