Delay of de Baca in Taking
Oath of Office and Attempt
Of Mcdonald to Hold Over
Likely to Cause Mixup,

j spIcrAL CONSEQUENCE TO MORNING JOURNAL
j Santa Fe, Dec. 10.-A most inter-
esting question has arisen over the
goyenship which doubtless will be
/ determined by decision of the supreme
court. Because of the illness of Gov
emor-elect e. c. de Baca, who is now
on the Pacific coast and contemplates
4 remaining there for some months, no
] arrangements are being made here for
4 his Inauguration, and it is said that
4 Governor Mcdonald will continue to
discharge the duties of the office un-
i til such time as Mr.. de Baca shall be
able to qualify.
This power Governor Mcdonald will
assume under Article 20, Section 1871
Of the state constitution, which says;
Every officer, unless removed.
shall hold his office until his successor
has duly qualified"
Republican Contention.
But it is understood that the repub-
leans will contest, should de Baca not
appear to take the oath of office, that
the provision of Article 5, Section So,
Of the constitution which says that the
terms of all state officers shah begin
on the first day of January next after
their election" will displace McDon-
ad
It is minated that an action will
be brought to have the office of gov
emor declared vacant, if de Baca does
not come forward and take the oath
Of office, thus turning the executive
power over to Lieutenant Governor
Lindsey under provision of the con-
tltudon, Article 5, Section rs, which
says;
IN case the governor is absent
from the state, or is for any reason
nable to perform the duties the lieu
mant governor shall act as governor,
With all the powers, duties and emolu-
nents of the office until such disa-
6itty be removed"
If the court should declare a va
cancy, the lieutenant governor would
automatically become governor. But,
Il before such decision was rendered
Mr. de Baca should appear and quail
lily, and after that he should, because
Of his health, not be able to discharge.
The duties of the office, Mr.. Lindsey
would become acting governor during
such disability.
The chief questions involved in the
matter have to do with legislation and
appointments. With de Baca governor
he would be expected to veto any po-
Itical legislation passed by the repub-
lean legislature, there not being two
thirds in either house to pass such
measure over his veto.
Should Mr. Lindsey become acting
governor for even a day, it is not I'M
likely that he would nominate all of
ne appointive offices and the mem
aers Of all of the boards having con-
Uol of the educational charitable and
penal Institutions, and that such nom
nations would be promptly confirmed
ny the republican senate. In such
event the nominations would be valid
slu no change, except for cause, could
ye made by Governor de Baca.
While it is reported on the best of
auIhority that Governor elect de
haca's health is improving rapidly, it
not generally believed that it will
