IN several messages TO members OF the
legislature, senator Fall threw down
the gauntlet 20 w. r. Andrews; and
that he declined 10 entertain any
plans for pOstDoninB the election un-
til next winter, but insisted that no be-
re-eleeted az this session. The An
NN"N HuHPotAtfh ~ the legiei1tufo
are openly working today for a bill
providing apreferentlal primary under
the CONSTITUTIONAL emergency act
which would make Il possible to hold
senatorial party primaries during the
month Of May. and in time for this
session OF the legislature To confirm
the choice Of that primary 20 succeed
Judge FAN In 1918 II Ia said that
Judge Falls friends are opposing the
preferential primary ana that they fa-
N0r his reelection without delay.
There is more talk 0f Republican
caucus but there seems 20 be ns little
chance of caucus al this time as
there was before; and some of the
outspoken opponents OF Mr.. Andrews
are today apparently as dttcru ined
not % enter into caucus as they ever
were. 10 is said by friends OF former
Governor Mills that he Is not a cam
didate and that any strength he may
have is al the disposal OF Judge Fall.
Mr.. Mills ia not here.
Mr. Andrews friends are not ask
ing for quarter; thoy declare that TO
save the situation for the party in
Washington and likewise IN New Mex
leo. Mr.. Andrews laid his personal am-
hitions on the altar aud thcy assert
that al this time he feels himself un-
der no obligations 70 any candidate or
any set OF men, ana that II he Is again
forced into fight he can go In free
Of any entangling alliances and pre-
pared 90 deal with any and all COM

senator Fairs friends point 70 the
fact that Il ls a necessity for New
Mexico 20 nave two senators in WASH
ingtOn at this time. and that with
Senator Fall there for eleven months
only, he Is completely handicapped in
effective work, since in thst time he
cannot hope 60 accomplish the pro-
gram ne will initiate. They declare
that Il is the dutF ot the present ieg-
isiature 10 Immediately re-elect Son-
ator Fall for "a fun term; and that tne
matter Is clearly one of serving the
best interests OF the state and entirely
apart from party politics. They urge
that his election ne unanimous ana
that no other candidate be- nominated.
They say it d unfair 10 senator FAN
and 10 the state 20 have him IN WASH
ingt0n with q term OF but eleven
months and without assurance as 60

Andrews since had Judge Fan 'oFced
his own election without giving tne OF

Mr. Caifon, the gentleman from sam
"a BE might never have been elected.
But there Is another and deeper
reason Tor the determination OF the
Republican leaders a. precipitate the
senatorial contest az this time. That
o. the fear that there may be DEM
Ocratic landslide in the next prcslden-
tial election. and that 4 might have
a disastrous effect upon lne legislature
when 10 meets next winter resulting h
Republican control being wrested
away by the Democrats. A lengthy
conference OF Republican leaders ana
momaers oi the legislature was heid
last night But Il "a understood that
no plans of immediate action were
