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 William H. H. Llewellyn to William Loeb

William H. H. Llewellyn writes to William Loeb regarding an investigation of the management of the penitentiary in New Mexico by Holm Olaf Bursum. While Llewellyn does not want to defend Bursum from any actual wrongdoing, he has known Bursum for twenty-five years, and he does not believe that he has any personal dishonesty, especially with regards to his finances. Llewellyn believes Bursum can disprove the charges against him. He believes that Governor Herbert J. Hagerman is stirring up trouble.

Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to William Loeb

William H. H. Llewellyn believes that while there is a genuine effort among credible individuals to achieve statehood for Arizona, the government and business interests are fighting the measure. Appointed by President Roosevelt, Governor Joseph H. Kibbey has worked against Roosevelt’s wishes by actively working to defeat statehood. While Llewellyn does not believe there is justification to remove all political appointees in Arizona, Kibbey certainly must go. Not only is he working against the President’s wishes, he is also an alcoholic.

Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to William Loeb

Letter from William H. H. Llewellyn to William Loeb

Luther R. Smith, private secretary to Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, and William Spencer Sturgess met with ex-Governor Miguel Antonio Otero, ex-Attorney General George W. Prichard, and Republican Chairman of New Mexico Holm Olaf Bursum in El Paso, Texas. Smith and Sturgess tried to convince Bursum to go against joint statehood in New Mexico. Bursum declined, stating that he had told William H. Andrews and President Roosevelt that he and Solomon Luna would vote in favor of joint statehood. Smith and Sturgess then said that they are “getting up a job” on Andrews to get him arrested on some charges connected with the Enterprise National Bank. William H. H. Llewellyn is confident that joint statehood will get through unless the cause is hampered by “such fellows as Smith.”
