to force Arizona to vote cut of its
constitution the recall of judges; and
t. give Immediate and unqualified APP
prevail to the New Mexican constitu-

force Arizona to reject the recall was
an effort to keep that state out OF

state the determination of the recall
question.
Notwithstanding this attitude, lead

rority Leader Mann in the proposal to
force Arizona to give it up. Littieton,
