tend Fluctuations upon the common op,
portunity of New Mexico and Arizona

Another communication was read
on the floor that is interesting be
cause it ELECTED the first faint protest
from the Republicans. w. H Murray
who was speaker of the convention
that is responsible for Oklahoma
constitution, offered to send the com
plete reports of the deliberations o.
that body and supply each member
with copy, provided Arizona woulC
pay the freight. BY the aye and nay
vote the offer was accepted-and ther
came the protest Judge Doe of Co
conino rose slowly in his seat and said
that he did not wish to go on record
as supporting this action; that in his
opinion the constitution was not
worth paying freight on. His remarks
were followed by laughter and the
point made appreciated by the Repub
licans at least.
The morning session began prompt
lily at 10 o'clock with the distribution
of pay checks for the weeks work
delegates and employees are to be paiG
by the week. Each delegate got his
check while the pages got pay fol
only four days, or since assuming
their duties.
At the session on Saturday after
noon Webb arose and submitted &
proposition defining the boundary O.
the state. 1t is needless to say tha
the present boundaries are unchang
ed. This proposition was not ordered
printed as it is simply a necessary
tformality. Webb's second proposition
guaranteeing religious freedom ant
containing the clause against polyga
my as prescribed by the enabling act
will be printed and after it's seconc
reading sent to the proper committee
