Governor Herbert J. Hagerman asks for the help of Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot in persuading President Theodore Roosevelt to reconsider asking for Hagerman’s resignation. Hagerman reports that the general feeling in New Mexico is that the charges against him are unjust and messages of support are not reaching Roosevelt. Hagerman feels that this course of action will be a “calamity to the territory” and “considered as actual endorsement of corrupt and honest men.”
