but was overruled by the president.
Mr.. Sena thought the convention
was not here to be every little while
mixing up in political fights, but was
here to work AT the conclusion of
the reading Mr. Fail was recognized.

some little attention throughout New
Mexico was the introduction this ar
tefnoon by Mr. Sedillo Of Bernalillo
as file No. "a, of a proposition TO
prohibit the creating of bureau or
immigration under the state govern
ment Prior to adjournment many
announcements of committee meet
ings for tonight aud tomorrow were
made, and though there will be no
session of the convention until Mon
day afternoon, it is likely that most
of the delegates will remain here 10

mittee. The convention was called to
order this afternoon at 2;45 aud af-
ter the reading of tho .lnutes, which
were approved, Delegate Luna from

new rules. One of these Is to the ef-
feet that when q proposed amend
ment is laid on the table the original
question of the proposition pending

The second rule provides that no
file or matter proposed to be included
in the constitution shall be received
in open convention after October 22.

cluded from introducing such matter
in its regular order at any time.

trait of the late Antonio Joseph, for
