GOVERNOR CURRY
WILL RETIRE
ButHe WillRemain
in Office Until
Spring
BUSINESS REASONS ONLY
Possesses Confidence Of
President and Department
of Interior.

Governor curry announced 10 no
more intimate friends some time ago
that he intended to retire in the spring
of 1870 and devote himself to his busi-
ness affairs. He will make headquar-
ters at Tularosa, Otero county. He
had been waiting merely for an OPP
portune time to make the announce
ment and to inform the public he
would probably have stepped out soon
er but for the insistency of those who
sought to make it unpleasant for him. {
1t is a great satisfaction to him, that
during the two years that he has oc-
cupied the gubernatorial chair, he has
not been asked once to make eXpla-
nations of his acts tt the President
or to the Secretary of the Interior;
at no time have any charges been
brought to his official attention and
both the President and the Secretary
of the Interior have expressed their
desire that he should remain in office
and will no doubt accept his resigna-
tion with regret, although they knew
be had withdrawn it only temporarily
when several months ago he asked to
be relieved. President Taft on his
visit to New Mexico, expressed the
greatest confidence in Governor Cur
ry an expression which was renewed
and emphasized puolcly by Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger few days
ago. Who Governor Currys success
Sor will be, of course, can not be TAX
en- up by the Washington authorities
until they have the Governors resig-
nation and probably will not be until
spring. 1t is true there will be many
rumors and counter rumors from now
until then, but they will be mere
rumors 1t is certain that the Repub-
lcan organization will be consulted
and that Governor Curry will undoubt-
edly be given an opportunity to be
heard as to the man who will succeed
him.
