Special to the New Mexican.
Albuquerque, ~ NJ, April 25.--The
great Hagerman endorsement meet
Ag so widely advertised by the Albu
qnrque Morning Fakir Journal, and
20 eloquently proclaimed as a most
stupendous, most gigantic, most pow
erful and most thorough going ex-
pression of public opinion in favor
of reform since that memorable day
of the firing on Fort Sumner, and the
hauling down of the stars and stripes
from that fortress, which came off "a.
the Elks' theater in this city last
night turned out to be frost, fizzle,
4 fake and tiasco.
For several days past much time
and money were spent by the promo
ers of the movement, all of them bit
ter and vindictive enemies of the
Republican party and office seekers
from the day they reached New Mex
leo, to create enthusiasm and procure
a goodly attendance at the meeting.
Columns and columns of wild eyed
vehement, slanderous, lbelous, un-
true, crazed editorials and appeals
were published in the Albuquerque
Morning Fakir Journal and for sew
eral days Democratic bosses and
committee men as Marion. Burkhart
Collector Beavens and others have
made a house to house canvass be-
seeching, begging, importuning and at
times bull-dozing, insisting and de-
manding that the citizens of Albuquer-
que to the number of $500 voters at
tend the meeting and send forth such
protest, such an expression of public
Opinion, such a strong demand that
the President undo his great crime
against civilization, which like the roll
of the British drum should be heard
alsund the world, and that like the
shots from the American guns that
sent Admiral Ceryera's fleet to Davy
Jones locker should attract the as
founded attention Of the civilized
world and compel President Roose-
velt to bow down and bend the preg
nant hinges of his knee to the demand
and indeed command of the Albuquer
que Morning Fakir real estate ring,
the Water Supply grafters and the tax
dodgers and knockers who set them
selves up with cheeky affrontrance
and absurd impudence as we the peo-
pie Of New Mexico"
Elks' Hall was comfortably filled
and there were between 700 and 800
persons present Of this number
about 250 were voters and bona fide
citizens. The others were mostly
women. pupils at the University of
New Mexico from tender age to the
majority age, and a conglomeration
of hangers-on at so much per hour.
Doodle galore had been spent to bring
about this spontaneous and vast out
pouring of the people of the great
Sunshine Territory and they were
there in the your mind eye, Hora-
tio." The proceedings were short
and carried out as exactly arranged in
the executive Office in Santa Fe. The
speeches were short and convincing
to those who delivered them but not
at all like Lincoln's celebrated speech
at Gettysburg The resolutions as ar
ranged were adopted as per program
without a dissenting vote and were
signed by number of those who were
present and by quite job lot of peo-
pie who we're not present.
The resolutions were ordered tele-
graphed to the President of the Uni
ted States that he might read, trem-
BILE and obey or take the most dire
consequences. Every man on the
platform was either a Democrat or
had opposed the regular Republican
party ticket in the November, 1906,
election and had voted for the Demo
cratic-Peoples ticket of Bernalillo
County and for the Democratic dele
gate to Congress.
There were two bands in attend
ance and the music was good; the
people applauded and enjoyed the
music and the patriotic airs played.
The decorations were very nice and
came In for praise. Outside OF these
items the meeting was as said above,
fiasco.
