 Following Bursum's fall came nanv oehers, all more or less identified with the Bursum.Andrews band wagon. aud as result the Bursum Andrews c,;ouo framed up deal to depose IIaccman and stop his work of reform.
 The Republican party was Jivided md at the fall election, Andrews. Re. ouoIicnn candidate for delegate to Con. sres, won by such a narrow margin 'hat the charge of ballot box stu,,iny sas freely voiced.
 Since Andrews has been at the Wasb. 'ngton capitol it is said he has dailv 'ndeavored to demonstrate tho neces. 'ity for Hagerman removal. clse ,bo Republican party would lose control of New Mexico.
 bursum and his followers m New Mexico continued to stir up strife here. oy bringing all kinds of conceivable 'harses against the governor, the la,cs, 'f which was that Governor Uagerman had been guilty of gross frauds in transferring Territorial lands to the Pennsylvania Development company. a company, by the way, of which Col. W. \. Hopewcil. Andrews New Mexico Representative, was president.
 lt was 10 answer these charges which Hagerman declares were merely part of the political intrigue to down him, that Hagcrman recently went to Washington, where he had many con. ferenccs with Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield.
 Tho removal of Governor lIagcrman has demonstrated that New Mexico Will have nothing to do with clean gov. ernmcnt, and clean politics, preferrins machine rule and graft to the kind of government that lIagcrmau was at. temping to administer, govcrrmcn, without graft.
 About inc last official a.. of Gov. ernor liagcrman, was the forcing through the recent New Mexico I.egis. laturc bill prohibiting gambling, which was passed over the vigorous protest of the machine leaders.

 Tho Phoenix Republican, so far a, Is information went, had fairly cor 'ect story, but one sadly lacking in lctail.
 Tho Phoenix Gazette followed with a story, illustrated with an ancient map which had absolutely no bearing on the proposed route, and which was incor. ect in almost every detail. The Ca. ,ette says:
 "Thc general impression prevails hat the new line, on leaving Phoenix, will tap the Buckeye and Arlington 'ountry, using the survey west made by he Randolph engineers in November, 1906. The report that the s. F.. P. & ". line was to be used from this city Q Wickenburg, where connection will hc made with the Arizona & California, s evidently m error."
