CHAPTER XXV
United States Officials

The following list of governors includes all those who were appointed to that position while New Mexico was a territory. In some similar lists the names of secretaries who have served as governor for a considerable period are included. But it seemed difficult to draw the line of selection. Under the organic act, the secretary becomes acting-governor the moment the governor leaves the territory. In accordance with this provision, every secretary has acted as governor, more or less; Secretaries Ritch, Arny, and Davis, probably longer than others. The only proper course, therefore, was to insert a full list of secretaries.

The list of chief justices shows the heads of the judiciary of New Mexico, through the whole territorial period.

A full list of delegates in Congress is also presented.
