friends Of American democracy and
the upholders Of the vital rights Of
free citizens.
The mayor does not wish DR.. |
Ueyden 10 visit Haverhill at the
present time and thus lacerate the !
sensitive feelings Of these criminal
upholders Of the papal system who
have defied the constitution, insulted
the state and city and committed
crimes against property and person.
From his action Il would seem
that he thinks il more important
TO consider the wishes Of the leaders
Of the mob, than TO uphold the ma
jesty and dignity Of the common
wealth Of Massachusetts, in the only
way that il can be upheld, by.
promptly nghtiHg the Wrong. for
surely he does not believe that the
departments Of justice and law en-
forcement Of Hayerhill and Mas
sachusetts are unable to protect a
citizen in the exercise Of his consti-
tutional rights. To delay action is
to bow TO the mob. To place Grim
i inal lawlessness before the majesty
Of law and order, is TO admit that
these criminals are more powerful
than the municipal and state gov
ernment Of Massachusetts,. Is such
position satisfactory to the citi-
zens Of Haverhill, and the voters Of
, the state Of Massachusetts,? This
, is a question that must be faced, TO
: il is fundamental in character and
z affects alike the integrity Of free
institutions, the honor Of the state
and the rights OF every citizen.
Is Haverhill 10 yield to executives
who place the wishes Of the criminal
upholders Of papal hatred Of free
speech before the stern demands OF
outraged law and order to maintain
at all hazards the fundamental
rights Of every free citizen as guar
I anteed by our federal constitution
! and the law of the state? Are tn,
I rioters, or the federal constitution
to receive first consideration?
e That is the issue!
, II the majesty Of the law is to b.
! yindicated no time should be los
in arranging for DR.. Deyden to re
8 turn TO Hayerhil.
I In justice to Governor Mccall
: be il said that he is reported I,
have stated that he is ready TO Dc
his part in protecting DR.. LeydeT
and the Protestant people Of Hayer

" Our correspondent informs
of that the police we're instructed

ports published in the newspape
