new CONSTITUTION
IS VOTED ON
TODAY
NEW MEXICAN CITIZENS TO
HOLD ELECTION FOR RAT
lFIcArIoN OF DOCUMENT.

Albuquerque, N. NJ. Jan. 20.-Elec-
tions for the ratification of the con-
stitution for the proposed state of
New Mexico are to be held through
out the territory tomorrow. The indi-
cations are that a heavy vote will be
polled. The. constitution was framed
by a convention overwhelmingly re-
publican and that party is united in
it's support. The democracy Is di-
vided, one wing is just as ardently
opposing it. The most bitter opposi-
ton comes from the temperance
people. who made an unsuccessful at
tempt to have prohibition clause in
corporated in the constitution. Lead
that they will never permit New
Mexico to enter the Union otherwise
than as a prohibition state.
Charges of attempted fraud in the
election are being made by those op-
posed to the constitution, which are
vigorously denied. Governor Mills has
instructed the district attorneys to
take every precaution to see that the
elections are conducted fairly.
The charge of fraud is based on the
statement of an itinerant evangelist
working in Albuquerque that "ballots
against the constitution were not being
printed in some counties" After a
thorough investigation Territorial Sec
retary Nathan Jaffa gave out state
ment that an equal number of ballots
for and against the constitution had
been printed in each county.
Governor Mills today sent the fol-
lowing telegram to district attorneys
throughout the territory:
''You are hereby directed to inquire
into any complaint made to you or
which may come to your attention
as to fraudulent intimidation OIL
violation Of the election laws which
may be contemplated or perpetuatet
at the election tomorrow, and vigor-
ously to prosecute anyone who may bt
guilty of a breach of these laws. This
election must be fair in every par
ticular.'

the presidents of the express companies

pany had carried the package from

Necessary details are now being
perfected, and as soon as legal re-
qurements are complied with this plan

AMONG LEGlsLAToRs-MANY
GO TO THEIR HOMES.

Albany, N. Y, Jan 2O-The third
joint ballot for United States senator
today showed practically no change in
the rival camps into which the fight
to elect William F. Sheehan has split
the democratic majority. Put to the
test of spending an unexpected week
end in Albany, Mr. Sheehans friends
remained and voted except when able
to arrange pairs which left his po-
sition uninjured
But Mr. Sheehan did not gain a
single vote, although Alton B. Parker,
his law partner in a personal letter to
Assemblyman Saunders, solicited for
him the aid of the several assembly,
men who previously voted for Parker
Sixty out of the POI members of the
legislature were absent today and it is
expected more will take advantage of
the pair system to go home before
the fourth ballot tomorrow
Mr.. Sheehan returned to New York
tonight, but intends to be back Mon
day. His departure emphasizes the
general belief that the truce will last
over tomorroW's session.
: The number of democratic candidates
was increased to 10 on today's ballot
by votes for Martin II. Glynn, former
state comptroller and Simon w. Ros-
endale, former state attorney general.
Mr.. Glynn quickly declared himself not
candidate
The result Of today's ballot follows:
Whole number of votes, 141; neces-
sary to choice, Il; William r. Sheehan,
60; Edward NJ. Shepard, IL; John D..

publican, 81
The insurgents met as usual after
the session today and discussed the
situation Senator Roosevelt, the
leader, reiterated that "any new move
must come from the other side"
Assemblyman Saunders sent a reply
tonight to the letter received by him
from Judge Parker. In this he said, sin
part. ss=zs
IT regret that you have thus ex-
pressed yourself and beg leave to state
that it is not necessary to act in ac-
cordance with your advice. l speak for
myself only, although I have no doubt
many of my colleagues will also fail to
accept your view of the matter
