Santa Fe, N. NJ, Mar. 26th.-
Amidst scenes Of understandable
enthusiasm Albert B. Fall and
Thomas B. Catron were elected
to the United States Senate today.
The tate Of the later hung in the
balance. When the roll had been
called, he lacked four votes of
election-but before the result
was announced enough legisla-
tors rose to change their votes to
Catron, to put him safely across
the wire. 1t was the Spanish
Americans on the republican
side who changed their minds at
the critical moment.
Overshadowing every event,
Santa Fe this forenoon awaited
In nervous suspense the balloting
for two United States Senators
at high noon and wondered whet-
her the agreement reached after
midnight among the republican
leaders would withstand the quiet
but determined work that was
done this forenoon by the forces
opposed to the republican organ
ration to undo the work that
was to elect Albert B. Fall and
Thomas b. Catron,to the United
States Senate.
1t was at the house of former
Delegate to Congress William II
