Mayor 10 Quoted
The statement of the, committee
follows:
"There will be a mass meeting of
the citizens of Albuquerque held in
the auditorium of the high school
building, Sunday afternoon at 5
o'clock, for the purpose of deciding
on the stand the citizens of Albu-
querque wish to take on the national
guard camp and the federal can
tonment =.
"The military authorities and
Governor Lindsey have asked that q
strict ordinance be passed by the
city council of Albuquerque control
ling the selling of Intoxicating IL
uuors to the national guard, wheth-
er In uniform or in citizens clothing
and have asked that the saloons be
closed at 8 o'clock every evening
and all day on Sundays, and also to
refuse the sale of bother goods to
anyone during the time the encamp-
ment and cantonment are main
tained near the city of Albuquer-
Last night, the city council re-
fused to pass such an ordinance and
the mayor Of the city Of Albuquer.
Qs,e paid his compliments to the
governor Of the great state Of New
Mexico in the following words:
"sWhat do we care for the gov.
ernor! His wife is the governor
She is Q faithful prohibitionist. He
desires to wreck the business in
terests Of our city. The next thing,
he will want to close the moving
picture shows. The 1000 license
annual saloon license paid by the
saloon keepers Of the city of Albu-
quefque to the city as licenses is
worth more than any revenue that
the city may derive from any SOL
dier's camp or cantonmentP
The mayor also paid his compli-
ments to the secretary of war and
said that he could not see much good
in him, apparently because of the
fact that he was radical prohi-
bitionisf And, taking into consi-
deration that the council did the
mayor bidding, it seems that the
mayor Is once more in the saddle
and is dominating the affairs of the
city of Albuquerque.
Citissns Need Not Submit.
I'VE do not have to submit tamely
to such action and it is at least the
duty of the citizens of Albuquerque
