Santa Fe, March 14.-Since the ap-
preparation bill passed the house,
members of the council have been be-
sieged by letters, kilograms and petit

Mexico and as result the bill will
undoubtedly pass the council with
little, IL any, opposition.
The attitude of Ruppe In opposing
the bill, after having signified in COM
mittee his intention of supporting Ii,
even over the governors veto, has left
that man in a most unpleasant light
even with the minority, which has
tired of his juggling.
other members of the house who
opposed the bill are hearing from
their constituents in no uncertain
tones. AS the contents of the bill be-
come known, 1t has caused n wave
of universal approval. The ulll is the
strongest measure for the territory
during many legislatures and the peo-
pie have shown that they will book
no interference with its passage.

There is no longer tie-up on leg
islation as result of minority OPP
position The house last evening

measures of importance.

made their will known and 1t is up to
their representatives to get busy"
