The Citizens Party Dead-A Bold Foot
pad-Police News.
PASADENA, Feb. 25.-The Citizens
party of Pasadena is no more. Here
after the political campaigns of this
city will have to worry along without
the valuable assistance of this former
allimportsnt factor.
At q meeting of the executive COM
mittee OF the Citizens party last even
ing, held in Mcdonald & Brooks Office,
it was decided to abandon the field in
the coming municipal election and
make way for the straight Republican
ticket.
The meeting was presided over by
President Wiley. and was called for the
purpose OF considering what action
should be taken in regard to the straight
Republican ticket which is to be put in
the field. As before stated, it was de-
cided to lay down arms and 60 over to
our friends the enemy.
The resolutions, which were passed by
a majority vote of the meeting, set forth
that the Citizens party had been
formed for the purpose Of infus-
ing life into local elections
and see that good men, irrespective OF
party, were put in Office. The member
ship included men from both political
parties, but for the most part from the Re-
publican party. That, acting upon the
belief that no party lines would be drawn
in the coming election, the executive
committee went ahead and arranged for
convention to nominate officers to
be run as Citizens party candidates.
Since taking that action, however, a
straight Republican ticket had been
called Tor and as the majority of mem
bers of the committee were Republicans
they did not wish to oppose their own
| party and believing that the work of the
Citizens party had been accomplished,
voted to disband the same.
A second resolution was passed and
signed by all the Republican members
OF the executive committee resigning
from the membership Of the same.
This move may put an entirely new
phase to the local election. With the
Citizens party out of the field there
only remains the Lincoln club candi-
straight Republican ticket unless
another ticket pops up before election.
The action of the executive committee
surprise to most people outside of those
on the inside circle, and there is lots of
kicking among those who have been lett
out in the cold by the new move. The
Lincoln club claims to have heavy
backing of votes, and it ia Understood
will make fight on reform platform.
