90 in the house yesterday afternoon,

Mr.. Llewellyn spoke vigorously in
favor of the repeal of the present law
and urged all members to stand by the
party pledges. Mr. Dalies said that
the law does not inspect and charac-
terized the present law as a measure
disgraces the statute books. He said
that it operates practically as a steal
for the Standard Oil company.
Cristoval Sanchez at length opposed
the pending bill He contended that
the inspection law was not the cause
of the high price of coal oil.
Pedro Sanchez advocated the pas
sage of the bill. He declared that the
party platform is for the repeal of the
law. Because the republican party of
the nation does not keep its platform
pledge to give New Mexico statehood
is no reason why New Mexico repub-
licans should follow the bad example
and break their party pledges.
