Judge Mills presides as associate JUS

dent to appoint him for another term.
These petitions have been pretty

for his consideration before the eX-
piration of Judge Mills term. The
judge, however, has some opposition,

The Stockman is very sorry to heal
OF the resignation of Governor George
Curry. and we have a number OF
reasons why we feel so. His resigna-
ton leaves the territory in a danger
Gus position. making it possible for
the old gang of grafters to dictate
his successor, who would be n man OF
their stripe and ready to do their
bidding. Our present executive has
exhibited both honesty and ability in
the discharge of his duties, and dur
ing the time he has held the position
he has been governor in every sense.
The position has not hurt him n bit,
he is the same George Curry that he
was when he punched COWS on the
range in Colfax county in the early
eighties, and he is the sort of a man
we would like to see as his successor,
plain. outspoken, fearless, kind and
one and the same among his fellow
men. George Curry has enemies, who
of us that have lived in New Mexico
any numbe of years, and exhibited
any activity in public affairs, has

enemies. is saying that they have

people in this territory will regret
