unanlmous vote TO throw their ballots
to A. A. Jones OF Las Vegas and Felix
Martinez OF III Pnso. who also holds
residence In Colfax county There
after the Democrats were unable to
agree upon a definite line of action.
Some 81 the minority who profess 20
believe that the end justifies most
any means, were bent upon swinging
the Democrats and what progressive
AID they could get into line for Jones
and Larrazolo, Mr.. Larrazolo 10 like
wise deliver whatever strength he
could muster 10 Mr.. Jones.
But unfortunately for that wing OF
the minority n number OF old-ine
Democrats, who believe more in prin-
cipie than office. absolutely refused
to enter into the deal. and Il Is said
the caucus adjourned rather hastily,
10 meet again next week.
E'an stiII Claims Lead.
Judge Falls friends stiu place him
In the lead, with votes 10 spare They
repeatedly assert that he Is ready for.
the fight TO open at any time, and
that he VIII so into any Republican
caucus. or that he will agree TO vote
Of the Legislature. day or night. with
any or all candidates, which indicates
their confidence In what the Judge
has up his sleeve.
Mr. Andrews likewis4 Is said TO
favor at least a certain kind OF a
caucus. the exact nature OF which is
not disclosed by his friends. The
Mills supporters are divided about the
matter. some OF them advocating a
caucus and others declaring that they
will not enter a caucus with Mr.. An
drews. Mr.. Catroh's friends say that
he favore a Republican caucus ana
that he VIII enter into Il on any prop
osstion at any time.
Considerable acrimony was aroused
when some Of the avowed supporters
Of f. Mr. Andrews openly asserted last
night that they would refuse SO vote
for any man who declined TO enter a
party caucus This was taken by some
OF the Mills supporters as a direct
slap at them. and they resented Il
accordingly and In no uncertain tones,
20 that the Andrewa-Mills duel Is still
In tull swing.
II la said here today that several
OF the Mills votes have gone into the
Catron camp, but this Is denied by
Judge Mllla' friends.
The Democratic Caucus.
The Democrats In caucus yesterday
afternoon remained behind closed
doors until after 5 o'clock, and the
members said that they had been
pledged to secrecy. They are said to
have discussed their legislative pro-
gram at length. and that they then
took up the senatorial question.
Governor Mcdonald dld not attend
the caucus. but II Is understood that
he was fully advised OF the action
taken and that his views as 20 iegisla-
tion were made known 10 the minor
lty. That the caucus adjourned
without much OF definite under
standing az 20 a cohesive plan for the
present session indicates that while
there may not have been lack OF
harmony there was wide divergence
OF opinion.
n was permitted 20 leak out here
and there that the minority would be
FOR Mr. Jones and Mr Marines on
the first senatorial ballot. which
doubtless is correct, but the real deaf
ls aaid 90 be for Mr.. Jones and Mr..
I.arraz0lo. n Il can be arranged. and
there were even reports. from not
diaintereated sources. that certain
Democrats would not look askance a.
an ironclad combination between Mr..
