IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wirel
Washington. Jan. 5.-Two import
ant amendments TO the rules of the
house. one intended to outflank the
regulars In their fight against the
insurgent rule as to discharging COM
mittees from consideration of bills,
and the other to throw committee
meetings open to the public, We're in
troduced today by Representative
Norris of Nebraska who led the in
surgent republicans in their great
rules fight last March.
The resolution to meet the recent
ruling of Speaker Cannon that on
motion to discharge committee from
further consideration of bill must
be read in entirety, provides that in
the consideration of sue ha motion In
the house the measure shall be read
by title only. Mr.. Norris believes this
will meet the attempt of the regular
republicans to deprive the insurgent
rule of its effectiveness, for under the
ruling the reading of a bill might oc-
cupy all the remaining available time
of g session of congress.
The public committee meeting
resolution, based on the contention
that secrecy of committee transac-
tions is contrary to public policy, pro.
vides that unless otherwise ordered
by the house. the business of all
standing. select and special commit
tees shall be public including the rec
ord of all votes taken.

He states that a good majority is
assured.
During the past few days speak
ing campaign has been organized for
Roosevelt and Curry counties. II has
been conceded up to this time that
Roosevelt county would go against
the constitution because of the OPP
position OF the democratic county or
ganization. Now. however, there is
not only hope but a strong possi-
bility that the apparent opposition
may be among disgruntled leaders
rather than among the people and
that with the campaign being made
by prominent democrats from Chaves
and other counties. a majority may
come from Roosevelt. Curry county
has been debatable ground up to the
past few days but VI is now generally
admitted that in spite of the opposi-
ton of a part of the democratic or
ganization in Clovis. the county will
give a majority for the constitution.
The reports from Santa Fe. San Mi
guel, Colfax. Mora and Union coun-
ties show the sentiment in favor of
the constitution growing every day
and there is now little doubt that
these counties will give great ma
jorities. With the campaigns being
made in Taos and Rio Arriba coun-
ties and which will continue during
the coming week. those counties are
expected to give their full vote and
most of 1t for statehood. The head.
quarters of the league will be open
from now until election, at all times
and persons desiring information as to
the constitution are invited to call
there at any time. The league win
be advised regularly of the situation
in the different counties up to few
days before the election and will prob
ably be able to predict very closely
the majority for the constitution on
the morning of election.

Indifference is Vanishing, In
tefest Becomes Enthusiasm
and Outlook for Big Vote
Improves.
CHAVES COUNTY WILL
GIVE 500 MAJORITY
Telling Campaign by Prominent
Democrats Bringing RooSe-
welt County Into Line; Curry
win Be on the Right Side.

Opposition TO the constitution is
fading away before the rapidly
awakening interest of the people of
New Mexico The outlook for full
vote and great majority in favor
of the fundamental law Is growing
brighter every day. The indifference
of q few weeks ago has almost en-
tirely vanished and the people from
one end of New Mexico to the other
are eagerly inquiring into the vital
features of the constitution and well
coming with enthusiasm the good
news that with its adoption on jan
uary 21st the final admission of New
Mexico into the union will be but a
matter of few months.
This. in substance, is the informa-
ton received yesterday at headquar-
ters of the Nom Partisan Statehood
league from practically every county.
the information agreeing in all cases
as to the awakened interest of the
people and in nearly all cases as to
the rapid disappearance of the oppo-
sition to the constitution. Some days
ago the league asked.for advices from
the various counties as to the feeling
of the people toward the constitution.
The requests were sent TO the most
conservative and reliable mon and
asked for the bare facts From the
replies thus far received. the bare
facts leave little to be desired.
One letter, for instance. from A
very prominent citizen Of Chaves
county, 4 leader of the democratic
party and a man who is familiar with
the affairs of the Peeos valley, makes
the assertion that Chaves county alone
will give 500 majority for the con-
stitution. Three weeks ago Chaves
county was considered in the doubtful
column and the enemies of statehood
were confidently asserting that they
would carry the county.
1t Is now admitted by every one
that Chavcs county will give ma
jority for the constitution and this
statement from conservative busi-
ness man that 500 majority may be
expected will probably mean that
larger majority will be rolled up on
election day.
A letter from a prominent demo-
cratic politician in Eddy county gives
almost as reassuring information, al
though the opposition to the consti.
tuition there appears to be stronger.

Organic Act Is Everywhere Its

Extended Trip,
D0NA ANA MAY GIVE FULLY
ONE THOUSAND MAJORITY
Issue in Luna County Is State

$500 Bet; Uncle Jimmy VIII
Lose,

'Ninety-five out of hundred peo-
pie, on the average are in favor OF
the constitution after they read it,
said Chairman Fl. o. Bursum OF the
territorial republican central commit
tee last night. Mr.. Bursum, as a
result of his extended trip over the
southern counties with Governor Mills,
o. A. Larrazolo and Nestor Montoya
is in good position to say how things
are going and he is highly optimistic
over the outcome on January 21. Mr..
Bursum leaves this morning for Santa
Fe.
THE way people are coming around
Is most encouraging said Mr.. Bur-
sum. Communities in Socorro coun-
ty which four weeks ago were ninety
five per cent against the constitution
are now practically unanimous for it,
regardless OF party. Such well known
democrats as Luciano Chavez and
Benjamin Sanchez and others are
strongly supporting statehood. The
speeches of the governor, Mr.. Lar
razolo and Mr. Montoya have done in
estimable good and the effects are
everywhere apparent. The people are
finding out what in is the constitution;
and when they do that they are
practically certain to vote for IT,
In Dona Ana county, / think now
the chances are that the constitution
will receive close to a thousand major
ity. The town of Dona Ana will go
practically solid for 1t. Mesilla, Il
democratic precinct will give vote
of eighty per cent for the constitution
Las Cruces will give good majority
the opposition there being confined
entirely to few persons disgruntled
with the county organization who
place personal preferment and ad-
vantage above statehood for New Mex
ice. They are kickers troubled with
political dyspepsia. like man who
finds fault with the boarding house
bill of fare because doesn't take any
exercise and doesn't digest his food.
In Grant county the constitution
will get majority of from 400 to 500.
Friday night there will be a Luna
county meeting at Deming at which
III. NJ Dougherty of Socorro will
speak under the auspices of the Nom
Partisan Statehood League. In Luna
county the issue is statehood versus
Uncle Jimmy Upton winning his $500
bet. Uncle Jimmy is naturally work.
ing hard to save his $500 but it looks
as II he would lose as sentiment for
statehood is growing. 1t is simply a
question as to whether the people will
get the most benefit from statehood
or from Uncle Jimmy's winning his
$500.
The result of the trip through the
southern counties is most encouraging
and as ] said before, everywhere the
constitution is proving its own best
