fist big stumbling block In the way
Of smooth progress for the extra
ordinary session OF the fourth ieglsia-
ture. convened al noon yesterday by
Gov. i~.arrakOlo.
Prior 10 the assembling OF the law
makers there was hope that all OBJ
stnries had been smoothed out. and
that the passage Of the Joint resoiu-
ton rattfying the nGiiOnal suffrage
amendment would be little more thar
a perfunctory act OF recording the
required number Of favorable votes

cations IN evidence that opposition
was developing and by Monday morn
inE al 10 o'clock the opposition ap-
peared to be organized.
Dan Padiila, OF Bernalillo. one oi
the leaders 81 the opposition. declares
that he has &c votes pledged against
the resolution The suffrage support
ers say they believe padilla ~ ovel
optimistic. and that when the lest
comes IL will be disclosed that the
friends OF the suffrage movement nro
strong enough to put the resolution
through. The principal talk has been
Of the opposition In the house. but II
ought TO be noted that the senate
lacks o great deal Of being Of one
mind on the question. TIE only dif-
ference II that the opposition scne-
tors are having little TO say as "a
their views.
