n Is highly interesting as a pasiimo
10 stand about the streets and talk tc
the man who has Il an figured out.
He Is here In numbers and he Il cock
secure that IL can't and IN any thing
else than his figures show. Likewise
II is interesting, az a pastime. 10 try
and pry something out OF the legis-
lators. Some of them viii tell you
their first. last and final choice but
the majority OF them wave you aside
and request that you ask them some
thing easy.
The Legislators who were tardy. got
here only yesterday; most of them
have been here for a week or ten
days But while they have done con-
siderable caucuslng In groups OF two.
three and half q dozen, there are not
many OF them talking much about
she senatorial situation Each candi-
date has his friends and supporters
IN the legislature and the vote that
VIII decide. Is composed OF those
members who are not saying anything
just at this time
However, II you are really 80 deep.

There Is one thing that is cer-
tainty and that IS that there IS no
possible combination IN sight for
Democrat to gct ono OF the coveted
togas. There viii 0e a couple 81 Re-
publican senator's from New Mexico
and they win be men who win make
the balance of Uncle Sans Washing

when they get on the job.
lTuIR'rEEN COUNTY
DIVISION BILLS HERE
But IN turning TO realities and drop
! ping speculation on the senatorial
outcome. II win come as no surprise
that already no more than thirteen
county division bills are ready to be
sprung upon the unsuspecting leglsls-
tors almost before they get their
chairs warm. II Is useless al this time
10 onumergto them but they come
from all over the state Some Of them
are admittedly feasible, while others
consist IN merely taking an of the
assembled property OF the old coun-
tics, Including the railroad tracks
and leaving the debts. Some Of them
already have nice new county seats
with plated additions and host OF
/ firm admirers who predict thai Il said
new county Is created. Il viii be- the
best thing the legislature ever did. II
you want to frightcn a legislator into
the next place, an you have 10 do Is
10 cali him aside and inform him
that you would like 10 know his views
on such and such new county
! proposition. Ho would rather tell
you what he thinks about this OF that
candidate for senator. Then there
lare persistent reports that 81 cqualiz-
Jag the expense OF state government
and state offices. we are about to lose
some 81 our slate officers. For in
stance, Il is currently reported that
smong tho changes la sight. are the
consolidation Of the travelling auditors
oMco with that of the auditors. Civ
ing the auditor fun charge and allow
ing him an extra deputy for che WORK.
II Is also reported that bills viii be-
introduced 20 put the Office OF insur-
ance commissioners With the auditors
commissioner.
That new method will be found
for handling state printing, is among
the matters being discussed al this
Time. Il Is said that either tho Office
of state printer win be selected and
