Santa Fe, y. NJ, March Ex-Governor
Curry this morning telegraphed to Presi-
dent Taft his resignation as governor Of
New Mexico. Governor Curry stated this
morning that although he had contem-
plated taking this action for several
months past, the immediate cause of his
resignation was that he had requested
leave of absence to go to Washington to
talk with President Taft and the secre-
tary of the interior on matters of great
importance to New Mexico. not apper-
tanning to statehood. but that Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger had answered
that he should take up the business by
letter.
Governor Curry asserts that he has
always been in entire harmony with the
national administration, and that he Is
confident his successor will be a New
Mexico man. He had contemplated re-
signing in the near future anyway, feel
ing that he had accomplished the task
for which President Roosevelt had ap-
pointed him. His resignation, he says,
was merely FASTENED by the refusal of

grant him permission to come to Wash

Mr.. Cox had two stables near each

LEAD is A SLENDER ONE
Something About the Attrac-
tons to be Seen At
The State Fair.

This is the last publication of the
standing of candidates in the State
Fair contest that will be made before
the contest closes at noon today.
Yesterday was busy day in the
Kentuckian office and thousands Of
ballots found their way into the box.
Nearly all Of the active contestants
made big gains and the contest in
several districts was intensely ami
mated.
Many new names have been added
to the Kentuckian's books and its
subscription list is in most healthy
condition.
The vote will close promptly at IL
o'clock today and the committee will
take the ballot box to some conven-
lent place and count the votes at one
o'clock, or as soon thereafter as pos
sible. The ballots have been CLASH
fed and tied in bundles during pre-
vious counts and it will not be a very
difficult matter to arrive at the re-
suits without much delay. One of
the hottest races so far has been be-
tween Miss Maude Dawson, post
mistress at Herndon, and Miss LYDIA
May Gary, of the Church Hill vicini-
tv. Both have had strong follow
ing from the start and the race will
i not be settled until the last moment.
Mrs. J. G. Torian, of Trigg county,
who maintaining q decided lead in
this the last show of strength, is a
daughter of Mr.. W. c. West, of this
city, and is young matron widely
popular with a large circle Of friends.
The Gait House at which the party
will stop is one of the leading hotels
OF Louisville, at the cornOr OF Main
and First streets, on main car lines
that lead to the Fair and to all parts
of the city. 1t will be an ideal stop
