KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL.

TvRoM 5 to 8 o'clock tonight republican primaries are being held
in the two city precincts, to elect delegates to the county re-
publican convention Thursday. This convention will elect dele
gates to the state convention which will meet here September 4
Two isues are to be determined at the primary tonight.
l. Shall Bernaillo county republicans be bound by a delegation
instructed to support O. A. Larrazoo for denomination for governor
II was in a last desperate effort to secure such a delegation that
Larrazolo came TO Albuquerque last night. Those who heard the
governor know that all of the mans undoubted cloquencc' all the
vehement attack upon those opposing him, all the viruent dcnuncia-
ton of The Evening Herald, failed to cover up the absence Of any
adequate defense of his official record as governor during the past
twenty months This record, now fully and fairly before the people.
does not entitle Larrazoo to denomination. 1t demands his defeat
as a matter Of sound citizenship and as a matter Of sound republic
can politics; because the nomination Of Larrazolo by the coming
republican state convention will mean the election of a democratic
governor in November.
Republicans who give IN instant of sober thought to the Lar
razolo issue will realize that the Morning journal, his official organ,
Mr.. HubbeI, his manager. and the governor himself have made no
real effort to defend the governors record. They have attempted
10 evade the record by attacking The Herald.
Republicans who wish good government, forward looking policies
and effort in STATE administration and party success will go to the
polls tonight and vote against the LarrazolO- HubbenMagee slate of
delegates.
2 Beside Mr. Larrazolo n the platform last night sat Frank
en- cabinet, his spokesman in this county and aspirant for his lost
place as boss Of Bernalllo county. The Morning Journal has been
telling its readers day after day that Hubbel IS not an issue in this
contest tonight that he is not an active aspirant for anything but
reform and an equalization Of his taxes. You who attended the gov
crnor's meeting at the armory saw Mr.. Hubbell march in at the head
Of his organized applause and take his seat on the platform.
Mr.. Magee, who opens his defense Of the Larrazoo record after
the fight in this county is over, was not present last night. He has
said that Mr.. Hubbel is embarrassing his efforts in behalf Of Lar
razolo. 1t was Mageeis idea that Hubbell should do his work fol
the Larrazolo- NJ c.Hubbel machine, under cover. That, had il
been possible, would not have embarrassed Mr.. Magee. Mr.. Hubbel
was there, as he will be ON the job at the polls tonight. IL he is sue
cessful in winning a majority Of the delegates from this county, hi
or his personal representative will be republican county chairman
by Thursday night, and in addition to being premier of the LarrazoC
administration, Hubbei will boss the next county convention which
will nominate county and Legislative candidates. Hubbell will pch
those candidates. lie has already picked a majority of them anC
promised them the jobs in return for support in the primary tonight
Tubbell is making the fight of his life to win this primary tonight
His only chance Of success lies in indifference among republican
voters which may lead them TO remain at home.
Go to the polling place in your precinct tonight before 8 oclocl
and vote as your knowledge OF the issues, as your knowledge Of thu
Hubbel record, Of the Larrazoo record and as your judgment a
republicans and your conscience AZ good citizens may dictate.
