So Many Ladies.
LITTLE DANNY JUST
TICkLED TO DEATH

ticaiariy when ladies are concerned.
For that reason, he felt rather lone
some when he drifted into the Tin
Can party at the opera house last
night. Like most of the audience he
had been led to believe that the de-
posed governor would be there and
the cub was full of curiosity, the
dominating feature Of the meeting.
while incoming around the suburbs
looking for that elusive fancy for
which he is ever watchful, News
ne ran into some hastily printed
hand bills announcing the tin-can
party with music and refreshments
Tree and incidentally Little Danny
Macpherson. Messrs, Marion, Burk-
hart Beaver and few other good
republicans who have never been
known TO vote republican ticket,
making a house to house canvas in
an effort to get the ladies out to the
tin-can party.
That was how the cub reporter
came TO get mixed in the affair and
how ne came to be so horribly en-
barrassed and lonesome when he
drifted into the Elks' theater.
II appealed to him as news how
ever, 80 bright and early this morn
ing he laid the following bunch of
copy" as he expressed 1t, upon the
desk of the city editor Usually the
prominence in the waste basket, but
this time the stor' was too good to
keep. Here il Isl
with a burst of music by two
bands, with Mr.. Dan Macpherson and
several other prominent republicans
leading the parade, the opening of
the big tin-can party last night was
an awful success The ladies were
handsomely gowned and the children
were so cute that they were often
patted upon the heads by little DAN
ny. who said he was well pleased and
gratified at the deep expression of
sympathy shown him by the ladies.
He said he was proud of being such
"A republican and some other things
that 1 did not understand. He treat
ed me nice. They did not have any
refreshments. Dan said ii would not
be political | don't think Mr..
Roosevelt was thought much of by the
speakers for they did not think he
was telling the truth about Herbert.
asked Mr.. Macpherson who Her
bert was. He said it was not who
Herbert was for he WAS governor.
but that il was who Herbert Is and
that was the object of the tin-can
party. There was some doubt as to
who ne Is. Mr.. Danny Macpherson
thought he was democrat but he
did not want to say so until he got
the ladies and the children
sure. Herbert was very popular. His
brother, Percy Hagerman. was there
with MT. Field to see just how pop
ular Herbert was. He was pleased
for ne smiled whenever any one
said anything bad about Mr.. Roose-
Welt for canning Herbert. | staid un-
til it was all over and had a good
time. Mr.. Macpherson is funny and
some of the ladies said he was cute.
He said the Citizen was good pa
per to advertise i'm that he could not
have had n tin-can party If The Citi-
zen had not helped him. | liked that
for / work awful hard To make The
Citizen a good paper. When / first
got 20 the door they were not going
TO let me in because ! did not have
can or a lemon. Mr. Macpherson
told the feller At the door ii was all
right because all ne wanted was the
crowd tonight anyhow and he didn't
care who came or how they got in.
That shows what kind a man he is
and how he is willing to help YOU
when you help him, which / think
is very nice. I heard afterwards that
he even arranged to give money Ia
some poor people that wanted L.
come so they could have a seat i'm the
audience at the tin-can party. That
is what made him so popular last
night I guess. ! was sorry Little
Herbert was not there. He would
nave Ielt so BOOU TO know now lnuCH
he was thought Of by the ladies and
how bad they thought Mr.. Roosevelt
was for canning him.
George $. Klock, the attorney al
law, just down from New York, was
the chairman, who told the speakers
when it was time for them to tell
the people what they thought about
how Herbert got the can. In openinS
Mr. KIock did not over look any OF
the people who had come to hear
what he had to say.
Men and Women, boys and girls
said the speaker, I'VE have come here
to protest against the malicious rep
resentation that has been made on
the honor and character of the man
who has presided over the destinies
Of our territory for the past year"
Then Mr. Klock paid the Evening
Citizen 4 nice compliment. He said
that il was "A good advertising me-
dium. II did not take Mr.. Klock
long TO get through. He had a two
minute limit upon himself.
Then he introduced Attorney T.
W. Clancy, who evidently had pre-
pared TO pay the ex-governor a very
glowing tribute and at the same time
burn up the persons who caused the
president TO organize the New Mex.

Il can see the cold finger of hot
