to business matters and bidding
friends goodbye, for he leaves in a

successor, William D. Leonard, of the
Cheyenne Arapahoe agency. is expect

have the supervision of about 1000
Pueblo Indians, while here he has
only 400. Under him at his new sta
ton will be 90 employees, while here
there are 81 The increased respon-
sibilities will carry an increase in sal
airy of $400 year.

New Mexico. half of whom are under
the supervision of the Albuquerque
agency and the other half under the
Santa Fe agency, in charge of c. j.

reasons None Of the 'steen are CIV

first is that Hulaniski thinks SO and
the Others do not matter However,
study of the situation will hardly
bear out the proposition. In Hogg's
first campaign in 1900. the majority
against him was 1928. Two years
later the majority in his favor was
2.312. When ne ran again In 1904 his
majority was 9,547. Now what, If
anything. has Mr.. Hogg done to make
himself weaker before the people
than he was two years ago? AS a
