The republican county conven-
tion, held yesterday in the Crystal
theater, marked the final step in
the reunion of the regulars and in
dependents. Each of these factions
which nad been divided since the
fall of 1920 and until shortly be-
fore the republican state conven-
tion, was given places on the coun-
ty ticket through the terms of
agreement. This program was
carried out on the floor of the con-
Ivention, with however. restricting
any persons who wished to aspire
for nominations.
The convention ratified all past
agreements between independents
and regulars, and at its close it
was stated that hereafter these
terms would not be used in con-
nection with Bernalillo county re-
publicanism, and would not APP
pear In subsequent proceedings of
the party.
The convention was largely at
tended. 1t was opened at 10
o clock in the morning by the coun-
ty chairman, Frank A. Hubbell,
and after o prayer by Captain
Richard Guest, the temporary Of
ficers were announced. These
were Benigno c.. Hernandez, chair
man; and Felipe Chacon, secre-
tary. These officers later were
made permanent. and served
throughout the convention. In
taking the gavel. Mr.. Hernandez
called attention 10 the necessity
for unity and order, and the Sc
lection of the best possible candi-
dates,

Division Of Candidates.
The convention struck its only
rough going early in the afternoon
session, and it appeared for a time
that the bandwagon might be up
set. Frank A.. Hubbell, formerly
chairman for the independent re-
publicans, announced that under
the agreement between that faction
and the regulars at the time they
composed their differences several
weeks ago, it was decided to ap-
portion the county officers as fol-
lows:
Regulars--Two county commits
sioners, three representatives in
the state legislature, county clerk,
county surveyor.
Independents--One county COM
missioner, probate Judge, county
assessor. treasurer, county super
intendent, sheriff.
Modesto c. Ortiz raised an objec-
tion. on the ground that such an
apportionment would prevent
many deserving republicans from
becoming candidates for nomina-
tions. Jesus Romero, former coun-
ty chairman and leader of the reg
ulars, said the agreement had been
made in good faith. Max Cutter
rez, formerly Independent leader,
also approved the plan. On ques-
tioning, MIR. Hubbell said that the
agreement between the two fac
tions had provided that Mr.. Ro-
nero and himself should apportion
the offices between the regulars
and the independents. and they had
done so, as leaders of the two fac
tions.
A motion to table the motion Of
Mr.. Hubbell that the report on
the nomination apportionment be
adopted, was voted down, and
the Hubbell motion went through
by large majority. 1t was
then brought out by Thomas
Hughes that the nominees of the
convention would be the recogniz-
ed party nominees even If the COM
mittee report should be ignored.
"If we'd known this" said Hughes,
1--WE might have saved all this argu-
ment."

Herman Mohr, and Sidney M.

mated for the legislature. Matias
