STATEHOOD APPEARS NEARER TODAY THAN EVER AS
RESULT OF EFFECTIVE WORK IN NATIONAL CAPITAL

o'clock until 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. Just before adjournment
President Spiess, on behalf of Gov
ernor Curry, extended a cordial invi-
tation to all present to attend the
legislative reception at the Old Pal
ace tonight. This will be the first of
a series of brilliant social events
which will take place while the legis-
lature is in session.
In the House.
The House did very little business
this morning. but was scheduled to
meet at o'clock this afternoon. 1t
was in session this morning scarcely
half an hour when it took "a recess
until afternoon.
The roll call found all members
present except Representatives Upton
and Stackhouse. The journal was
read and approved.
Upon motion made by RerI rIesent-
ative h. l.. Baca of Santa Fe county.
the following additional federal en-
ployes were added to the pay roll:
y" p. =. rown Of Res, Mora coun-
ty, enrolling and engrossing clerk;
E. ID. Salazar of San Miguel county
assistant sergeant at arms, and sam
uel Rains of Ration, Colfax county
Watchman.
The fact that the much talked of
local option bill has been introduced
SO early in the session is taken by
the wise ones as an indication that it
VIII be enacted without much oppo-
sition. Having as it does, the hearty
support of Governor Curry, almost
insures its enactment despite the at
tempts of lobby established by the
liquor interests to defeat it's passage.
This bill will allow cities, towns and
villages where liquor is sold to regu-
late the traffic in it to suit them
