Richard H. Hanna
"'PoIiticaI PuriSt'"

News Of teh Hanna iIubbell deal IN
BernaliilC county government has
~pereolated pretty generally through
u the state. We lind numerous ref
orenccs to It in various newspapers.
We find that It has created u quite
new issue OF oossism'' In the cam
paign; one that Is quite like in some
ways and strangely unlike in others,
the issue OF ''bosslsm" raised by
Hanna before he Joined forces with
Hubbeil. The folks around through
the ntate are beginning TO wonder
just what this deal in Hanna's homo
county means; whether Il means that
Hubbeil will be retained as premier
OF the kitchen cabinet, should Hanna
be elected. just as he has been chief
advisor to IarraSoio.
How about itT"
That is the question people are
asking.
Thus we find tho following IN the
advertising columns Of the Alamo
gOrdo News, placed there by local
campaign committeeman: g,.r
Judge Hanna's entire campaign has
been devoted 10 the bosses, who. Ps
he claims. have dominated the repuh-.
lican party. q4
TO listen to Judge Hanna. you
would be led to believe that he would
acorn the support OF any boss I.
That he has no communication
with them and desires none.
That he Is q sort OF n Jeremiah and
sent to cry out against bosscs' and
! bossism. t
Frank A. Hubbeli Of Dcrnallillo
county for many years served ns ths
awful example OF bossism. Dossism
and Hubbeiiism were the same thing.
The democrats said that the repub-
lican party could not be clean as
long as Frank Hubbeil sat In Its
councils.
The republicans with the help OF
the respectable democrats in Ber-
n~allillo county, put Frlnk A. Hub
bell out OF politics,
At the last republican county COM
vention in Bernallillo county Frank
A. Hubbell put up a bitter fight TO
regain control OF the republican or
ganization In Bernnililio county but
he was beaten. He then organized
what he called an independent party.
Last week he democrats n the
Hubbell independents held a county
convention in Albuquerque. They.
got together and put out a fueon'
ticket In Judge Hanna's home county.
Hubbell got seven of the county of
flcers, including two members OF
the board OF county commissioners
and his nephew. J. Felipe Hubbeip
was nominated as assessor.
IL this ticket is elected Hubbcll
commissioners and the taxing author
tiles OF Bernallillo county.
This in the home county OF the
great apostle of Righteousness.
This by the friends OF the great
apostle OF righteousness.
IL II were any one elne people might
make the charge that Hanna and his
friends had made a trade with Hub
bell, whereby Hanna would help
llubbell 10 regain control OF Beuhlillo
county for which Hubbell Is to give
his strength to Hanna in the state
election.
Perish the thought.
Nobody would accuse this noble ex-
ample OF purity In politics OF descend
Ing to such base means ever TO be
elected governor Of the great state
on course there have been men In
times past, running for office and
proelaiming their virtue, their detes-
tation OF corruption and bosses, and
after they have been elected the peo-
pie have discovered That Il was AL
merely n scheme TO get of1oe; That
the great idol had feet OF clay.
People are getting u little shy OF
politicians who 60 about boastine
their own virtue and attacking theh
enemies.
Fortunately, in this instance wo
are getting n little indication OF the
} character Of the candidate beforS
election. .U.f e.. r'.
