FLUSTERED
1t Adjourned to Monday Af-
ter Routine Opening
This Forenoon
SENATE IS WORKING HARD
Discussed and Amended Gen.
eraI Appropriation Bill in
Quick Time.

L. S. Senator Albert B. Fall will al
J rive from Washington, D. c., on Sun
day evening, Whether he will take
hand in the legislative game will b.
decided next week. But the mere an
) nouncement of his coming has stirret
up legislators. Should an attempt b,
made to re-elect Senator Fall mex
/, week, it will mean a display of fire
), works. However, the game is wortl
1t, and to settle the U. S. SenatorshiI
Tor another six years would be
great victory for the Republican or
ganization. 1t might also clear tho
atmosphere, although there is every
indication now that the Republican
majority in each House will cooperate
to put through a consistent Legislative
program of which every member may
be proud and which can be justified
at the polls next November as being
in accordance with party pledges.
/ Much zest was added to the situa
ton by kilograms from Congressman
Curry to Legislators known to favor
Roosevelt that it is Roosevelt's desire
that Fall should be reelected United
States Senator.
The Legislative Program.
The good roads bills were put
! through the Senate last night and are
to find no serious opposition in the
House or from Governor Mcdonald.
The corrupt practices act and the
primary law, also, will go through both
Houses and meet the approval of Gov
ernor Mcdonald, for his administra-
ton, necessarily, must receive credit
for any good legislation enacted. The
Bond Bill refunding the state and
county debts is to become law before
Monday. The county high school bill
mas passed the Senate and should
meet little opposition in the House
and none from the executive. The fin
ance bill was taken up in the Senate
today and the outlook is bright for i'm
portant and sensible legislation.
Taft Kept His Word.
The appointments made by Presi-
dent Taft yesterday. in accordance
with the recommendation OF the Re
publican state executive committee,
should put an end to the talk that the
Republican leaders of New Mexico
contemplate treachery against Presi-
dent Taft. Even though Roosevelt is
to be victorious it will not hurt the
prestige of New Mexico Republican
ism to demonstrate it's loyalty to first
pledges. Roosevelt probably has as
keen disdain for the "bandwagon"
fellows as any man alive and appre-
oiates fighter loyal to the last ditch
as much as any good sport. If he is
nominated, New Mexico will turn in
for him enthusiastically and will
probably give him a bigger majority
in November than it would have given
Taft, but for the present, New Mexico
owes a duty to the Republican party
and to Taft that no mere bandWagon
music should shake.
