1t was noticeable this noon during
the senatorial ballot that the tension
has been lifted and that the Republi
cans are now confident that the dead
but surely the process of elimination
proceeds and there is a sitting which,
it is expected, will result in the choice
of two Republican Senators by Thurs
day of next week A. B. Fall on the
Republican side got within nine votes
today of being elected, receiving twen-
tv. six votes and a Republican for the
first time in the four ballots thus far
taken heads the list. The Democrats
switched their votes from A. A. Jones
to Judge n. B. Laughlin giving the
lotter twenty-three votes and reducing
their vote for Felix Martinez from
twenty-three to twenty. Next to Fall,
w. H. Andrews showed the greatest
gain on the Republican side receiving
total of seventeen as against four
teen votes yesterday. William ]. Mills
lost one vote as against yesterday but
eliminating the ten who voted for both
Fall and Mills, il Mills could throw
his remaining strength to Fall, the
latter would be elected, which is sig
nificant, as thus far on the Republican
side most of the Mills men have been
also voting for Fall and many of the
Fall adherents also voted for Mills
Speaker Baca lost five votes as against
yesterday, L. B. Prince lost three
votes, while Herbert ]. Hagerman,
Progressive Republican. gained three
votes. New arrivals in the ballot were
NJ. R. Otero and Bias SanceZ on the
Republican side who received each
one vote. J. V. Tully is switching his
vote from Jaffa to Andrews paid a
| glowing compliment to Jaffa, saying
| that both Republicans and Democrats
! admitted that he is a man who de-
served the honor, but recognizing that
| his election is not practical at this
| time, he proposes to vote for the two
men who are a practical proposition,
/ Fall and Andrews. That was the only
| speech made during the balloting. The
state Republican committee has called
| a secret conference in the supreme
court room this evening at 7:3O O'Clock
and while the Scholarships will not
be discussed, the conference will have
a bearing on it as the advisability OF
calling a caucus will be considered
and also what steps are to be taken III
| the matter of the four House members
accused of bribery in case they are
unseated and Governor Mcdonald calls
a special election as the constitution
provides to fill the vacancies. Felix
