~ oNALD ToLoUsE. son OF J.
- II. Tolouse. was discharged
- from The Evening Herald'H
force OF carrier boys on Saturday.
July -, on which date he re-
cei' ed his last pay envelope. The
boy is an innoecut bystander In
the matter In question. There is
no desire to inJure him ana II II
not necessary TO repeat here the
causes leading to his discharge.
What we wish to call particular at
tention to is the date OF his DIS
charge, which was exactly thirty
days before the republican county
primary on August -.
on Monday, August so. follow
ing the Overwhelming defeat 0f
his effort to force the reinAtate-
ment OF Frank Hubbell MS county
boss and to force Bernalillo county
republicans to elect I.arrnzolo
delegation TO the state convention.
MIR. Magee caused the following
letter to be published In his Morn
Ing Journal:
Just . day or two before the 70.
publican primary Of state" ballots
certain gentlsman was called int
the office Of John W. Wilson, and
ne question vas put 70 him u he
''favored Tom Hughes for governor
and would vote for the Romero.
Hughes primary ticket" The zen.
tleman Informed Mt Wilson and
others present that "he was not In
favor Of Hughes for .goyernor.
Among the carriers Of The Herald
was the son % the gentleman who
had the audacity 10 say that he did
not favor Hughes for governor The
son was called into the presence Of
Mr. Hughes, who Is . member u.
The Herald, and told that "hs was
giys any excuse to the boy for his
action. Ths boy went home, and
with tears In his eyes told his father.
The fpthsr, thinking that his son had
committed Soma wrong. called on the
mailer Of The Herald, and asked him
n.sa s.s the s,,sSa,s sSa was FSii'y .. e that that
''noihing 10 his knowledge, as his
son was the host Of his carriers, and
even helped him 10 put up the mails
without ever aAking pay"
IL the man who Is guilty Of such q
men ,s.T contemplate ~ ia act trss ss snssSh
governor Of fev Mexico. Justice Of
ths peace or even doE-cateksr Of Al.
bnquerque. We say me
AN oNLooKER.
Note the deliberate effort {,
leave the impression that this car
rier boy was discharged Just
day or two before the republican
primary" and that the reason al
legeL for his discharge was becaus
his father refused to vote agains
the Magee- Hubbell-l.arrazolo slate
II Is easily proven by the Herald
records that the dismissal OF thi
boy occurred thirty days before tn
primary election. Mr.. Hughes ha,
nothing to do with the dismlssa
further than to support the au
thorlty OF the man held responsible
for The Herald's delivery service.
We publlahed this anonymou
letter on the first page OF Monday
