GOVERNORS INVITED.
Former Chief Executives of Territory
are Urged to Attend the lnaugu-
ration Ceremonies.

1t would be very gratifying to the
committees In charge of the inaugura
exercises, as we'll as to citizens in gen
eral, if the living ex-governors of the
Territory would be present at the In
auguration of Hon. Herbert J. Hager
man on Monday next
At the Inauguration Of Governor
Frantz, Of Oklahoma, last week, every
ex-governor of the Territory excepting
one, was present. New Mexico has
only four living ex.governors-Llonel
Sheldon, now in Los Angeles, who was
governor from 1881 to 1885; Edmund
G. Ross, now living on ranch near
Albuquerque, who was governor from
1885 to 1889; l.. Bradford Prince, llv.
ing at Santa Fe, who was governor
from 1893 to 1897, and William T.
Thornton, who lives at Guadalupe,
Mexico, who was governor from 1893
to 1897 and was succeeded by Gov
ernor M. A. Otero In 1897.
The executive committee is loath
to depart from the rule established at
it's first meeting not to send special
invitations to any person and there
fore takes this means of expressing
the wish through the press that the
former chief executives of the Terri
tory would attend the Inauguration
ceremonies which will become his
toric. as probably the last Inaugural
tion ceremonies under Territorial
form of government.
