ARTH-CHRISMAN
CASE MAY COME
UP IN JANUARY
Contest Proceedings Instituted
Two Years Ago, Involving
Senate Seat, May Be Re-
vived Again Next Month,


That the Barth- Chrisman contest.
may come up for adjudication before.
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions in the state legislature which
convenes on January "A now seems
probable. 1t will be remembered that
this matter came up at the last ses-
sion of the legislature when, on the.
face of the return. Mr.. Barth had a.
plurality of four votes over his OPP
ponent, W. II. Chrisman. The latter
instituted contest proceedings, but the
case was not prosecuted to q finish
and Mr. Barth served as senator in
place of MIR. Chrisman. The following
account from Thursdays Santa Fe
New Mexico shows that there are ru-
mors around the Captol building IN
dicating that the case may be taken
up again next month
whether State Senator Isaac
Darth, representing the shoestring dis
trct of San Juan, Sandoval and Ber-
naillo counties. will wear the toga

which opens here i'm few days, is a.
