The OfRcial Career Of H. 0.
Bursum.

Of h. 0. Bursum, that when he
was reappointed for the fourth
term to the position Of superin-
tendent of the Territorial Peni-
Tertiary in February, 1905, he
accepted with reluctance. and
simply because he was urgently
asked by the appointing power,
By many leading citizens Of both
parties and by his friends to do
so. He then told Governor Otero
and those who asked for his re-
appointment that this had to be
the last term and that under no
circumstance would he again take
the position. AS to Mr.. Bursum's
record while in charge of the Ter
ritorial Penitentiary during the
past six years and eleven months
but little need be said here. II
is too well known to the people
who are at all acquainted with
territorial conditions as Of the
most exemplary and proper kind.
Under his administration the con-
duct Of the prison, which before
that time for years was a disgrace
and a great expense, was changed
to one of the cleanest, most effec-
tive and best in the country.
Everybody who knows the man
acknowledges that he has superior
executive ability and administra-
tive tact; he Is honest, energetic,
courageous and successful.
He has concluded to retire a
little earlier than was expected.
This now is an accomplished fact
as he has rendered his resigna-
ton to Governor Hagereman who
has accepted it. This settles
that chapter of New Mexico's
history. L. penitentiary will
be turned ovPPto his successor,
whoever he may be in a condition
that will make it easy for the new
superintendent who will find no
difficulties to worry him and no
conditions that are troublesome. /
Governor Hagerman desired to
make a new departure and Mr..
Bursum fully acknowledging the
Governors right to take such
course, resigned accordingly. !
There was no friction and there
is no friction. The affair was
amiable and amicably settled.
Mr. Bursum retires to private life
with the respect and good will of
the people of this Territory. He
is one of its most popular and
best citizens and one of the most
influential men in the Republican
party, and for that matter with |
the people. In every capacity in
which he has been placed in
public life during the past four
teen years in this Territory, he
has acquitted himself in the most
satisfactory, business like and
honorable manner. He is in the
prime of life, strong of body, en-
dowed with a remarkable stock of
common sense, and virile of mind. |
His record as superintendent
of the Territorial Penitentiary
has been alluded to above. In
addition, he is a growing man, |
and Providence sparing his life, |
in the opinion of many who know
him and his capabilities, he will
attain the highest positions that
the future state of New Mexico
has in store for any of it's citizens. |
