I this procedure, Ofimiano Gutierrez
Of Ram hos de Albuquerque. de-
cIared that the democrats were
running their convention like the
republicans and that only the law
yers We're doing the nominating.
He waved his hat, shouted a war
cry and started from the hall, fol-
lowed by several other Spanish
American delegates. Another wave
and Whoop and the number Of
prospective boilers was a dozen.
1t appeared Tor q minute that
fusion was doomed. Republicans
in the rear Of the hall in the spec

seats amid cheers.
"Hubbell' Starts Rumblings.
After nominating candidates it
remained only for the democratic
convention to receive and endorse
the nominees Of the independent
republicans. The conference com
mittee of the Independents filed
into the han with one carrying in
his hand the list of republican
nominees. There was a silence and
on the faces of the delegates a look
of doubtful hope. Nothing hap
pened until the fourth name was
reached and the chairman of the
independents committee read from
his list. "Assessor-J. f. Hubbell."
Shouts of mo" greeted this
name. Delegates began to min
around the hall and there was an
Ominous rumble and murmur of
conversation that BODIED ill for the
fusion movement.
Then Stephen Roehl who had
nominated as the democratic rep

this nominee was j. Felipe Hub
bell and that he was not son of
Frank Hubbell, That he did not
live here but in Paiarito. That he
was merely nephew of Frank A.
Hubbell, one time political boss of
Bernalillo county
This satisfied the convention
and after the names had all been
read and cheered they were adopt
ed as candidates OF the democrats
in the coming election.
