Certainly, if Bursum is guilty OF
any i~rregularity in his conduct as
superintendent of the New Mexico
penitentiary, show it up and let
him answer to the wrong that he
has done to the tax payers who
placed him in that important posi-
ton; a square deal is the policy
of this government, and it is right
that it should be from constable to
president. And again, if after he
has had a square deal it is shown
that he is not guilty of the irreg-
ularities charged, then let his enc
mics acknowledge his integrity and
give credit where credit is due.
Mr.. Bursum's friends believe he
is right and will not accept his
condemnation until he is proven in
the wrong. On the other hand
the people do not question the
motive of Governor Hagerman
in whatever part he has or may
take in this matter, and it is his
duty as the peoples executive to
clear up any charges that may be
made against any territorial insti-
tuition, and it is not necessary that
his actions should in any manner
be directed against Mr.. Bursum
personally. In the event that
penitentiary records are regular,

been subjected to considerable criticism,
some of which has been adverse. But oa
the whole the speech has been generally
characterized as q straightforward, mau-

on this question rs has Gov. cobb on til"

worded phrases or chicanery. He states
his position as he sees it. and as one
prominent Portland republican remarked
He has cleared the atmosphere. So we
can now sec the issues of the campaign.
He has shown the Republican party that.
