 And in the meantime
 The governor of New Mexico has issued a call for the legislature of that state to meet on March Il, There was no advisory vote for Uni ted States senators in that state, and the legislature will select them. That New Mexico will object to being rep resented in the national congress by 'tBull!' Andrews of Pennsylvania and New Mexico, is already apparent, and it is not improbable that the fight will result in considerable delay in electing senators. If deadlock de- lays their election long enough, until the Arizona legislature meets, Sena- tors Smith and Ashurst will draw the four and six year terms.
 Another View of 1t. :.
 There is a possibility that Arizona may be first, of the two new states, to have a full representation in con- gress There is not only a proba- bility that the United States senators from Arizona will appear in Washing ton and be sworn into that body as m mn-nbers ahead of New Mexico, but there is very strong probability that such will be the case.
 The governor of New. Mexico has issued a call for the meeting of the first legislature in that state and the date is fixed for March II. When the legislature meets in New Mexico it is expected that there will be no less than half dozen candidates lined up as candidates for the senate with none of the members pledged to any one, so far as instructions of their constituents are concerned. That it will require some time to reach a re- suit under these conditions is the ex- pectation in the new state, where there is a determined fight being made for the defeat of w. H. "Bul1'' Andrews.
 If the Arizona senators are qualified ahead of those from New Mexico they will be given the long terms, six and four years, leaving the two short terms for the senators from New Mex ico, so there will be reason why the democrats of Arizona will desire that all possible haste shall be made in giving to Mark Smith and Henry As from Arizona.

Arizona and New Mexico Engag-

Formal Matter Becomes one of Ex-

There is a peculiar kind of race in progress between Arizona and New Mexico. The peculiar part of the race is that no one is running. It is a kind of Ben Hur chariot race on the stage, when a moving platform makes it appear that it is the horses that are running. Clarifying the comparison, it is moving events, or at this early stage of the race the moving shadows of coming events. that throw a picture on the screen, showing Mark Smith and Henry As hurst pulling the Arizona senatorial chariot and the New Mexico Senator ia1 cart waiting for the team to be connected up.

 Arizona Has Lead.

JUST A BLUFF.
Supt Lewis So Characterizes Bluff of
Insurance Cos. to Leave State.

Reports circulated to the effect that
several of the fire insurance COM
panies doing business in Kansas have
planned to withdraw because of the
refusal of Ike S. Lewis, superinten-
dent of insurance, to permit a raise IN
the present rates, is branded by Lewis
as a bluff on the part of the COM
panies and their agents. Lewis de-
clared today that none of the COM
panies in Kansas has Withdrawn nor
seriously intimated that they intend
to leave the state.
Recently it was intimated that the
larger fire insurance companies would
abandon Kansas and cancel their
business unless an increase in rates
was permitted. Lewis refused to
grant the increase. 1t was argued
by the fire insurance people that they
lost money in Kansas in 1911 and Sc
cured bare even break in 1910
Then Lewis reminded them that these
two lean years had followed sea-
son of rich harvest in the state. He
also showed the companies that they
had lost more money in some of the
states which did not have law SINH
lar to the Kansas insurance act than
they had lost in this state. And again

In Wichita this week r. H. Crit
fifth, special agent of the Glen Falls
company, stated that several of the
companies had agreed to leave the
nothing of this agreement. 1t was
stated that the Old Colony company
had left Kansas within the last few
days because of the low rates and
heavy losses. Records in the office
of Superintendent Lewis show that
the company left Kansas March 1,
1911.
Il don't think there is any posi-
bility of any of the companies leaving
the state" said Lewis. AT least
haven't heard of it."

LOTS OF PEACHES.
Wagon Turned Over and School Boys
Miss a Treat.

Youngsters who were in school this
morning missed a rare treat; there was
a cascade of peaches on East Sixth
street-a Veritab BILE shower of water
melons, tomatoes and peas. Mr.. and
Mrs Henry Bullock. of North Topeka,
were driving their vegetables to mar
ket when the tongue of their wagon
dropped out, releasing dozens of gar
den products of the incest kind. The
deIuge so startled the old horse that
he reared, baked, gallOped and threw
Mr. and Mrs. Bullock to the ground.
They landed on a bed of dainty green
cabbages and were not hurt at all. A
half dozen men dashed to the rescue,
the vegetable were repacked, and the
couple drove off, none the worse for
wear, but minus a few peaches.
