Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1907-04-24
Not a Nice Predicament.

Do the people of Albuquerque, the
sound, level-headed business men and
the republicans who have seen that
party grow from infancy in New Mex
leo intend to take the word of d. \.
Macpherson and his lesser satellites
against that of President Theodore
Roosevelt and Attorney General
Bonaparte2
Do they intend to take part in
meeting at which it is publicly an
nounced by the morning paper that
these men are to be reviled and de-
nounced?
4 canvass among those upon whom
the morning paper has relied for its
support in this last move TO maintain
the old fake reform regime indicates
that they do not.
Curiosity Drawing Card.
There will be a certain number at
tend the meeting who will go out of
curiosity. There will be Macpherson
democrats there galore. The Even
ing Citizen is able to state on very
good authority that there will be
great scarcity of republicans.
The Macpherson forces have
scarcely slept since the announcement
of the meeting was made.
Representatives of the morning
paper have been canvassing the city.
asking, pleading, cajolinG and at
tempting to force the people to par
ticipate in the declaration of war
upon President Roosevelt.
Half a dozen republicans approach
ed by the morning paper hirelings
and asked to make speeches have de-
clined to do so. or even to attend the
meeting.
Why
Because they know that to do so
places them forever on record as op-
ponents of the president, the square
deal" and their republican party.
Macpherson Democratic Gathering.
The outlook this afternoon is that
the meeting will be u Macpherson
democratic affair pure and simple;
that it will be a hysterical sort of a
meeting, without object or purpose
other than to denounce the president
for something which he did after be-
ing fully advised in the premises
1t is not a pleasant outlook for
Macpherson or the morning paper.
The telephone has been kept hot INF
the office of the morning paper call
Ing upon Miss So-and-so and Mrs.
SO-and-so to come down and see the
fireworks. 1t is probable that a num-
ber of women will be on hand. They
like 10 be amused, and the vaudeville

this line are generally a success.
Even the half-hearted meeting in
prospect is a disgrace to Albuquerque,
an open insult to the president and
the attorney general, and one which
those who are led to participate in
by Macpherson will live to regret
Citizen States the Truth.
II has been said that The Evening |
Citizen attempts to threaten the citi- |
zens Of Albuquerque by warning them !
OF what attendance at such a meeting |
means to them. The Evening Citizen |
does not have to threaten. 1t simply |
states the truth about the whole af- |
fair, and as the morning paper says |
for once correctly-it Is up 10 the |
people.
Threat or no threat, the republican !
who Is seen in that meeting Is on |
record as making unjust war upon the |
president and upon the republican 1
party; insulting the greatest reformer |
the republican party has ever had, |
and all because a confirmed, dyed In /
the wool politician like Macpherson |
attempts to turn the tide of public |
sentiment towards a deposed governor I
whose own public acts brought down /
upon his head the wrath of the maa
who appointed him.
