Santa Fe. Feb 2S.-Has the cause
of votes for women in New Mexico
taken a step forward, or has it ad-
vanced backwards? If Senator Clark
is right suffrage received Wallop in
the jaw at tho session. of the senate
this afternoon. However there is
something to be said on the subject
yet,
II came IN this way: Senate joint
resolution. II, proposing an amend
ment to the constitution enfranChis-
ing women, was read the third time
and placed on its passage. President
Clark had left the chamber and Sem
ator GallegoS was in the chair. There
was no debate on the resolution, both
democrats and republicans being
pledged to it by the platforms of their
respective parties.
Seventeen votes were east in favor
of the resolution. Four senator's
Esquibel, Gallegos, Lucero of Sando-
val and Mirabal-voted in the mega
tive. Senator Gallegos announced the
vote-17 to 4-and declared that the
resolution had been passed.
Barth Starts Something.
Reading Clerk Roy Flamm took up
the next bill on the calendar and
" until Senator Isaac Barth made a
discovery This was that under the
constitution any resolution to amend
the provisions regarding suffrage must
receive a three-fourths vote of the
entire membership of both houses be-
fore it can be submitted to the people
for ratification. There are twenty
four members of the senate. Eighteen
votes were necessary to pass the res
olution. Only seventeen had been cast
in its favor.
Senator Barth called the attention
of the chair to the fact that the vote
had been enormously announced
that the resolution had not passed, but
had failed of passage. For few
minutes nobody seemed to know Just
what to do Then Senator Dunlavy
moved to reconsider the vote by
which the resolution had been defeat"
ed. The point of order was made that
Senator Dunlavy having voted for the
resolution, could not make the motion
to reconsider
There were only four senators who
under the rules, could move to recon
slider. and none of them seemed dis
posed to take that step. Finally Sen
ator Mirabal, just to be a good sport
fnaOe the nlOllOH anu tltt lSSoiutioi
was reconsidered and the whole thing
started over again. Senators Clark
and Murray, the members absent on
the first roll call, were sent for and
got in just in time for the second vote.
This time, with the full membership
of the. senate present, the vote stood
lS to 6, those voting in the negative
being Senators Clark, Esquibel, Cal
legos, Gordon, Lucero of Sandoval and
Mirabal.
Is Ii Legal?
Just before the adjournment of the
session, President Clark, who had re-
sumed the chair, announced that in
his opinion the second vote by which
the resolution was passed was tuule
that motion to reconsider was IN
order only when bill or resolution
had been passed and not when 1t was
defeated. He asked for suggestions
as to how the journal should be made

opposing committee substitute for II,

of the boundary suit between New
Mexico and Texas, at the morning ses-
sion of the house.
There are big chunks of graft in
this bill, and I'm opposed to it," said
Mr., Dills, of Chaves, in speaking on
the same question.
The bill appropriates $50,0O4 for
the prosecution of the bouHaN suit
and names O. A. Larrazolo and W. r.
Reber as special counsel to assist the
attorney general in the case. The at
torney general draws salary of $4,~
600 a year. Under the terms of this
bill, his assistants, Messrs Larrazolo
