VIGOROUS FIGHT
To Be WACED BY
ANDREWS FORCES
Committee Of One Hundred
Business Men Named to
Push Candidacy of AIbu-
QuerQue Man for Senate,

The following statement has been
issued hy the business mems commit
toe of Albuquerque having charge Of
the candidacy OF Hon. w. II. An
drcws for United states senator
TO the people Of Bernalillo county.
The 5000 sieners Of the petition
asking the Honorable w. H. Andrews
TO become their candidate for United
States senator, haze selected a com.
mittee of 100 business men of the
county to act as a campaign commit
tee to prosecute a vigorous campaign
in his behalf
This committee will from this date
take entire charge Of the campaign
and propose to see that every re-
publican in the county has chance
to express his preference for Unit
ed States senator.
It is apparent to the committee
that there is an attempt on the part
of few seif-constituted posses TO
override the will Of the people of
the county, and dictate to them who
shall be their candidate.
This is only too plainly Indicated
bell by the county central committee
and the county convention held last
Saturday, neither the committee nor
the convention having any authority
by law or precedent, or by the call
of the state committee to take any
such action, and ii was an arrogant
assumption of authority so to do, and
shows plainly the intent OF the
bosses to override the will of the
people of Bernalillo county by the
old well known methods. Notwith-
standing the fact that 5000 voters
In this county, out OF possible 1900,
have signed a petition asking Sena-
tor Andrews TO become their candi-
date, and that the petition and the
names signed thereto have been pub
lished in the papers OF the county.
These self-constituted BOSSES about
one-half dozen in number, have the
effrontery to say to the 5000 sianers
Of this petition, You are not qualified
to wisely select candidate to repre-
sent YOU in the United states senate,
right have selected a candidate for
YOU, we being 80 much better quail
fled to select candidates for you be-
cause of our long experience in this
particular kind of work We believe
one of our trusted and tried mem
T.. nj
In the United States senate, therefore
we have endorsed and selected as
your candidate, Frank A. Hubbeli,
who is in our opinion the best candi-
date for you.
This committee desires 10 notify
every republican voter in this coun-
ty that his right to express his pref
erence for Il candidate for the Unit
ed states senate will be fully pro-
tected, and fair and honest ex-
preston of the voters of the county
AT the coming primaries shall be had.
The headquarters Of the committee
will he al the office Of John Vena-
Bile. in the New Armiio building, cor
ner of Third and Central avenue, in
the city of Albuquerque, republicans
interested In the candidacy of the
Honorable w. IT, Andrews are cor
daily invited to call at any time. The
committee will appreciate and cor
daily asks the advice and assistance
of all republicans who arc interested
in the candidacy of Senator Andrews |
