Especial Dispatch to the Morning Journall
Santa Fe, ~ NJ, Nov. 29.-That
Creighton NJ. Foraker, for the past
eleven years United States marshal
for New Mexico, will be reappointed
for another term was learned here to-
day on the best of authority, author
ity that is second only TO an official
announcement from Washington, and
which cannot be questioned.
That this announcement will be
productive of painful emotions in sew
eral quarters is quite probable. The
various candidates. who, believing that
there was nothing whatever doing for
tremely industrious in the pulling of
various wires for the past several
months. have each been more or less
confident of securing the plum to
which Mr.. Foraker has adhered ever
since President Mckinley dropped 1t
into his hat in the year 1898. The
crop of candidates and near-candi-
dates has been a larss enc, each hav-
rig or believing h yaAs ons.L siable
Influence in the necessary political
circles wherewith to secure the COW
eted position. Thomas $. Hubbell OF
Albuquerque. Secundno Romero of
Las Vegas, Burke of Santa Fe and
Charles f. Spader of Bernalillo have
been in the lead and the race bade
fair to be quite an interesting one.
Recent political developments, it is
said. caused Mr.. Hubbell to feel more
or less modest confidence that he had
the job cinched Sccundino Romero
had entered the ring armed with the
influence of one Don Eugenio and
with a good republican record behind
aim. c. f. Spader of Bernalillo has
been bringing weighty pressure to
bear through eastern political friends
and Burke or Santa Fe left just a
ohort time ago for Washington to pre-
pare a letter of acceptance.
If the appointment does indeed go
again to Foraker it will probably be
generally construed as further con-
frmation of the theory that Mr. Taft
is taking further liberties with MY
Policies" For Senator Joseph Ben
son Foraker from Ohio, 1t will be re-
called. was not the bosom friend and
of the only living ex-president
who is now causing great mortality
among the fauna of British East AZ
rica. Senator Foraker is a brother OF
the present United states marshal and
there is, of course, small room for
doubt that Brother Joes influence has
mad somewhat to do with the pro-
longed retention OF the office by
Brother Creight.
The present marshal. however. has
n splendid record He has attended
to business and has been marshalling
industriously all the time, leaving
very few apertures through which
aspirants for the job could poke sticks
at him. Mr.. Foraker has made a
good marshal, as good as the best. and
there has really been no criticism of
his getting the position again except
that he has had his share of it.
In the present campaign Mr.. For
aker has not been heard to say any
thing but has continued to marshal
along while those who viewed his fin
ish have been busy writing letters,
wiring wires and buttonholing states
men at home and abroad.
Except among the new candidates
and their friends there will likely be
general satisfaction with a reappoint-
ment of Mr.. Foraker. Plenty Of men
have held government jobs longer
than eleven years and many OF them
have not rendered as good service as
Mr.. Foraker. The appointment will
undoubtedly be- satisfactory to Mr..
Foraker; it will meet with the ap-
proval of Senator Joe and with all
these persons satisfied. il will quite
likely be satisfactory to Mr.. Taft.
