NEW MEXICO. FRIDAY, JUNE y 1912,
interfered and prevented serioul

trouble.
After a long time, and after Mr..
Tully had volunteered his services to
preserve order, all visitors were sent
from the hall and some semblance OF
order was restored.
The resolution to proceed to l.
joint ballot for United States senator
was then put on its passage and car
ried by a vote of 26 to %. Every DEM
ocrat voted against the resolution as
did also Messrs. de Baca, Burg. Chris
man, Clancy. Gurule and Labdie. re-
publicans. Under parliamentary law
and the rules of the house II required
two thirds to rescind the resolution
against the election of senator.
From that time on the proceedings
were rather tame. A ballot for Unit
ed States senator was taken. with the
result that Senator Fall received 25
votes, bare majority Of the men,
bership of the house. including the
vote of Speaker Baca, which was cast
for him.
r. l.. Baca received two votes, those
of Messrs. Chrisman and Cordova.
The sixteen democrats and six repub-
licans who had voted against the res
olution to go into joint session, refus-
ed to vote.
Three votes were cast for William
III. Andrews, those of Thomas f.
Cooney, Preciliano Moreno and Julian
Trujillo. but before the results were
announced, each of them changed to
Fall.
In announcing the change of his
vote, Mr.. Cooney said, with trace
of sadness in his voice: Il see, Mr..
Speaker, that my old friend, Mr..
Andrews, has only corporaPs guard
behind him, SO 1 will change my
vote"
The vote on the senatorship was
as follows:
For Fall - Baca of Valencia.
Blanchard, Catron. Chaves, Cooney,
Downs, Goodell. Hilton, Llewellyn,
Lobato, ManzanaTes, McGiilivray,
Montoya, Moreno, Padilla, Quintana,

For Baca-Chrisman Cordova.
AS soon as the vote was announced
committee. consisting Of Messrs.
Llewellyn, Padilla and Sanchez, was
appointed to notify the senate of the
action of the house and to invite that
body into joint session.
The members of the senate filed
into the house, the journals of the
two bodies were read, and Lieutenant
Governor de Baca announced that AL
bert b. Fall had been duly elected
United States senator to succeed HIM
self.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Holt, Romero and Gage from the
senate, and Mess-s. Llewellyn and
Vargas from the house, was then APP
pointed TO escort Senator Fall to the
house. Senator FAN was greeted with
prolonged applause as he made his
appearances. He made a short address
In which he expressed his deep graft
tude to the members of the legisla-
ture and told of the work that he
and Senator Catron have done and ex-
pect to do for New Mexico. Includ-
ing his remarks. he said
IT want it understood that jim my
work for New Mexico | know no
democrats and no republicans, and
every citizen, regardless of his poll
tics, is at all times free to call on me
for any service that / can render
At the conclusion of Senator Falls
address, the joint session dissolved,
and each house adjourned.
The principle event of interest in
the senate today was the passage of
the bill to abolish the office of coal
oil inspector. The bill is now ready
for the signature of the governor and
as Governor Mcdonald is known to
favor such a law there is little doubt
that 1t will soon be on the statute
books.
