MAJOR MULLER NOT A CANDIDATE
His Friends Assert That the Alleged Re.
publican Reform League is Using His
Name Without His Consent

Friends of Major Frederick Muller
state that he is in no sense candidate
for governor of New Mexico. The ma
jor is in Washington now, but is not
after the governorship, ST they empahti-
cally assert. They further inform the
New Mexican that the major received a
letter recently signed by j. L. Manning,
who styles himself secretary of the Re-
publican reform league, urging him to
become a candidate for governor of New
Mexico and stating that the alleged
Republican Reform League is circulat-
ing petitions and asking signatures for
his appointment This letter, they say,
has not been answered and the action
of the so-called Republican Reform
League is absolutely without Major
Muller's authority. The New Mexican
gives this information believing it to be
correct. 1t is also stated that the federal
Office Major Muller desires is the one of
receiver of the United States Land
Office in this city, now held by Hon. =.
f. Hobart The latter is also a candi-
date for ppointment, has good re-
COlu anu SUlOHS hoouciy
United States Senator Spooner, of Wis
consln, in whose regiment, he saw some
service during the war. The street also
has it that Major Muller would not
object to being appointed collector of
internal revenue in this city, an office
now we'll and ably filled by Judge A. l..
Morrison, who is also candidate for
re. appointment and whose record is
excellent. In this connection the New
Mexican is informed that respectable
Republicans all over the territory and
good citizens are giving no heed and
paying no attention to the printed petit
tions sent out by the alleged New Mexico
Republican Reform League, but it
is understood that in some case few
recipients of the petitions, who are
personal and political enemies of Cover
nor Otero, are filing these petitions with
forged signatures, or are inducing citi-
zens to sign them through false repre-
sentations and by deceit and fraud.
This information, to a great extent, Is
no doubt correct, considering the
source.
