(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)

| (By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
| Boston, Mass, March 1S.-President
Taft today declared himself in favor
| of preferential primaries seconded by
certain conditions for the coming
campaign.
Whenever full and fair notice of
| the election can be given, wherever
adequate election safeguards can be
thrown around to protect a preferen-
tial primary for the presidency, wher-
ever the constitution of the state per-
mits its being made applicable to the

come it."
This was the Presidents statement
| today before the general court of
| Massachusetts. 1t was his first per-
sonal reply to the challenge to prefer
ential primaries issued sometime ago
| by Senator Joseph NJ Dixon, Colonel
| Roosevelts manager. President Taft
did not refer to the challenge how
ever.
The President made a rather point
ed reference to the proposition: Let
! the people rule" and had something
! to say about the recall of the judici-
airy and the recall of judicial decisions.

by Incorporate language or on base

DEMOCRATS SCRAP
IN ARIZONA
Well Defined Progressive
Movement Develops In
First Legislature
FOR THE RECALL OF JUDGES
Wild Scramble of Legislators
to Line Up at the Pie
Counter Is On.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Phoenix, Ariz., March 1S.-When
the first state legislature of Arizona
convened today, it was generally be-
lieved that the first action of the
law makers would be to restore to the
constitution the provisions for the re-
call of the judiciary, eliminated at
the time the new state was admitted to
the Union. A constitutional amend
ment for that purpose will be one of
the first measures offered
Progressves Too.
The Democrats have an overwheIm-
ing majority in both houses, but it is
very probable that the "Progressives'
and the Conservatives of the majori-
ty will be divided on many questions.
The division was shown in the Dem
ocratic contest for the speakership of
the House, which the caucus yester-
day decided in favor of Samuel B.
Bradner of Benson, Adherents of his
rival, A. R. Lynch, of Stafford, express
ed open hostility to the administration
forces.
A clear majority of the Senate,
which was presided over by NJ. G.
Cunniff, of Crown King, is expected
TO stand by the administration.
No Trouble About Senators.
The prediction was freely made to-
day that in the event of a miscar-
riage of the Progressive" program,
Governor Hunt could call a special ses-
sion of the Legislature at the concu-
sion of the present one. The election
of two L. S. Senators cannot be ac
complished legally until after the leg
islature has been in session ten days.
Marcus A. Smith, of Tucson, and Hen
ry F. AShurst, of Prescott, Democrats,
who received the highest votes in the
advisory primary, will be elected.
