and downonst faces moved In an un-
even and broken procession from the
Office OF Frank Hubbell by way OF
Central avenue to the Korbcr build
ing at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
One man who among others had been
ordered into line by Frank Hubboll
was apparently 10 unaware OF his
whereabouts that he was walking
single file, regardless OF the fact that
all the procession was supposed to
move in double formation.
Tho little group OF "indepcndenis'
were increased In numbers by demo-
Gratis, some OF whom probably joined
the line of march because OF curiosity
and they deserted the ranks as the
procession reached the Korber build
ing. The occasion was the county
convention OF the Independent repub-
Leans. The few piece hand which
had been mustered into service by
MIR. Hubbell was Of use In ihe con-
ventlOn hall to help drown the
scarcity OF applause.
Several times during the speech OF
Gov. q. A. Iarrazolo, who had been
asked to come before the convention,
| the base drummer beat the drum
vigorously as only a scattering few
clapped their Nands and stomped
theft feet. At times II seemed that
there was n camOuflage attempted 10
cause the audience to believe that the
governor was being given rousng
welcome,
HubbelI Directs ~ All.
Hardly had tho convention opened
when Frank Hubbell took the chair
on the platform and called for n
meeting of the independent repubh-
can central committee. The COM
mltiee came forward and sat In chairs
behind and to the sides OF the plat
form. Then Mr.. Hubbell turned his
back on the convention and spoke IN
Spanish TO the committee,
Following n short meeting with the
committee, MIR. Hubbcll was elected
chairman OF the convention by some
one who spoke In Spanish. There was
no interpreter used until the election
OF vice -chairmcn was in order. Max
Gutierrez was "honOrcd' with this
Office and then Pearcc ROdey, ono
OF the latest boilers of the republican
party and who has not been nom
mated to any Office, was chosen sec
retary. The election of the two was
| the choice of Mr. Hubbell as he had
ordered the two to act In that capac-
ity before the meeting was hardly
started.
The feature OF the corvcntion---ir
| there was any-was the appearance
OF the governor. The governor was
escorted to the platform by q COM
mittee which had been ndmcd Tor
| TINT purpose. Mr.. Iubbcll had pre-
viousiy asked that IA motion that he
appoint such committee. be made,
As the governor stepped forward,
/ n man in tho front row asked that
the convention give three cheers Tor
| the governor. II was at this moment
that the base drummer OF the band
showed that he was on the job. Mr..
4 Hubbcll gave a cheer, which was fol-
| lowed by one from the man In the
\ front row and a few TO the side OF
the platform. The base drummer
did the rest. Tie beat the drum vio-
iently and there came the sound OF
stomping ieet from the direction OF
l the musicians.
Tho governor was introduced by
| Mr.. Hubbcll as the idol of the peo-
pie OF New Mexico and as the man
who had been robbed" of the
nomination for governor.

I'VE are here to let the people
know that we will not stand for such

Governor Iarrazolo then stated
| that he had Just been to I'll Paso TO
extend the courtesles OF New Mexico
to General ObrCgon OF Old Mexico
and the "other Mexican dignitaries.'
lie said he had spoken three and four
times a day while In I'll Paso because

spoke both In English and In Spanish
when he confronted n convention ltte
| the one he faced. hut this time he
! said he would dispense with the seer
! ond speech and speak only in SPAN
l.ish.
The governor then told his hearers
| that he was not against any state
ticket IN any place except In Berna-
| lilo county and that was because OF
| the methods the county used In car
| rying on the convention. He said the
election of the state ticket was up to

ing to induce them to vote one way
or the other
lie criticised Senator Fail and IL. -.
| Bursum. saying that they came to the
republican convention and dictated
the movements OF the convention
against the win OF the delegates. He
said he had favored a direct primary
before the convention instead of the
selection OF delegates by only few.
He favored the rule by tho people, he
said.
