Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Governor Curry of New Mexico, following up on President Roosevelt’s letter, has expressed to the manager of the Santa Fe Water & Light Company that attempts at blackmail against the company will be prosecuted. Richard H. Hanna’s information about district court clerk William E. Martin is true, but the Department of Justice did not object to his appointment. Mariano Senna’s appointment as deputy clerk was a mistake, however, and he has been removed. Curry will personally fight any wrongdoing in the Territory of New Mexico, and the strife will not last.

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Territorial Governor of New Mexico Curry appreciates President Roosevelt’s confidence in him, promising to justify it. Supporters of Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks held a demonstration during his recent visit to the territory, which proved “an absolute failure.” If able, Curry will meet Roosevelt in St. Louis, Missouri, to discuss New Mexico affairs. Despite the general support of his administration, Curry admits he does “do[es] not like” being governor, but will continue for the present because Roosevelt wishes for him to do so.

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

George Curry tells Theodore Roosevelt of many of the arrangements that have been made for him during his visit to New Mexico. One unique matter that Curry mentions and asks Roosevelt’s advice on concerns a recent meeting between representatives of the Mexican government and representatives of the insurgent government that he was party to. The representatives have suggested a belief that Roosevelt might be able to help mediate the conflict of the Mexican Revolution and help prevent its expansion, and have asked if it would be possible to meet with them sometime during his trip. Curry asks Roosevelt to let him know if he wishes to arrange such a meeting.

Letter from George Curry to William Loeb

Letter from George Curry to William Loeb

New Mexico Governor Curry warns William Loeb of corporate and political efforts to portray President Roosevelt’s administration and the Rough Riders negatively in the press. He recommends sending a pro-Roosevelt delegation to avoid reactionary support of Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Curry is awaiting instructions from President Roosevelt for scheduling the convention, and intends on continuing with his plan of not including federal office holders as representatives of the delegation. He adds that while David J. Leahy’s appointment as the new United States Attorney of New Mexico went smoothly, Curry is figuring out what should be done with Morgan Llewellyn, the Surveyor General of New Mexico. Curry will recommend his resignation if it is too embarrassing for President Roosevelt. He notes that Delegate William H. Andrews has introduced a statehood bill for New Mexico, and he will probably go with the committee.

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

George Curry has resigned as governor of the Camarines and is now chief of police in Manila. He is proud that Governor Taft selected him for the position. The situation in the Philippines is “working along very nicely” and the Rough Riders on the islands are doing well. Curry reports that Lieutenant Sweet, the former secret service chief, was arrested for abusing prisoners but will likely get out of trouble. He also mentions that Captain Green, who is with him, wishes to be remembered by Roosevelt and “all of the old boys.”
