lGllenwater.s Mentezpna Trust company
candidate for travelling auditor
MT. Whispering GillenwafeK soto Foce,
has begun to take the public into his conf
denee regarding the closing of his Monte
yuma Trust company in Albuquerque.
The public is to be congratulated. II has
desired its memory refreshed on this mat
Ter. It will make 1t much easier now that
MT. Whispering CLEARWATER has voluntarily
brought up the subject. 1t is a subject of
4 bHpNA1A AAAbOAO Al EAOW VI YhAoRNAA lab
Gillenwater's recent bFoaching of the topic
of Sound Banking In the form Of a Republic
can campaign advertisement filled with
some interesting SANDER Of the governor
and former travelling auditor-the governor,
who refused to appoint MT. G~illenwater's
Montozuma Trust company candidate for
travelling auditor; and the former travelling
auditor, who was appointed In place OF Mr..
Giilenwater's candidate.
Mr.. Whispering CLEARWATER PUSHES before
the public with his Montezuma Trust com
pany defense, before any charges have been
put out by the opposition, In a sixpage type
written signed statement. This statement,
apparently drafted with the idea OF Incl
dentaliy' presenting this defense, is in the
form OF a solemn protest" as one who
wishes to see the integrity Of the courts
m~aintainedi against the appointment of
Summers Burkhart as u. s. district Judge.
Right here 1t may be well to say that Ia
view Of the unsavory judicial record in Al
lbuquerqhe of District Judge B. S. Baker,
member Of the ring headed by Frank Hub
bell, Mr.. GiIianwater's present candidate
for the u. s. senate, we may draw our own
conclusions as to Mi. GillenwateF's idea of
the Integrity of the courts the sacredness
Iof the Judiciary and the immacuiateness OF
the ernine.
We win state in all frankness that this
letter is the ugliest, most venOnlous, most
vicious, most malicious, most c~ontemptible
attack on the personal character Of a man
which we have ever seen issued during the
progress Of any campaign In New MexiDo.
fortunately its malice, its venom its uglk
ness are at once evident and deprive the
letter of any political effect which il might
otherwise have.
In the first place the spectacle Of a cam
paign manager for Frank Hubhell pleading
for the Integrity of the courts'' is condW.
Give to upfoarious laughter.
In the second place the spectacle Of a Re,
publican campaign manager solemnly warn
ing against the appointment OF a Democrat
by a Democratic president to a federal posi-
tion is highly entertaining.
In the third place Mr.. Whispering Gillen-
water at once gives the whole thing away
by disclosing that he doesn't like Mr.. Burk-
hart since the time that Mr.. Burkhart, rep
reseHting persons having a stock interest In
the Montezuma Trust company, succeeded
in getting this institution into the hands OF
a receiver. Whether or not Mr.. Burkhart's
action appeared to be based on good
grounds the reader may conclude for him
self after reading Mr.. Gillenwater's adFanep
defense of the institution, whose stockhoId-
ers, he says, exclusive OF officers and diree-
tors, only stood to lose a mere trifle OF some
ten to fifteen thousand dollars,
Mr.. Whispering CLEARWATER also says that
Mr.. B6rkhart filed suit making general
charges of mismanagement' against Mr.. Gil
lenwateri that ] had used the company for
personal ends and had, at or about the time
the company discontinued business, q large
pgerdrRftf'
Thus we have the reasons for everything
rs plain as a pikestaff.
MR., WHISPERING GILLENwATER
is slandering the governor Of New Mex
leo because the governor refused to APP
point his Montezuna Trust company
candidate as travelling auditor.
