Eight O'clock.
PLANS OF CAMPAIGN
TO BE FORMULATED
Lively Rally for Passaje of Sewer
Bonds and Much Needed Sewer
System-Everyone Asked to
Co Operate-Electlon
January 19.
The publicity committee, which
was named by the city council
at a special session yesterday
afternoon has been asked to meet
Monday night at 8 o'clock sharp,
In the Commercial Club rooms
Felix Lester, mayor, Issued the
call for the meeting of the com-
mittee, this afternoon. It Is
hoped that every member of the
commltt'j will bn In. fltt-jndaTiee
and 'every one riot fTainetirin the
committee who Is Interested In
the upbuilding of Albuquerque
will be welcome d the meeting.
It Is expected that the pub-
llclty committee Monday night
will open the campaign for the
sewer bond 'issue in real earnest
and that plans for conducting
the campaign and holding the
election in compliance with law,
will be adopted.
At all events the bond Issue will be
dlacussed thoroughly and It Is expect
ed that much good will result from
the meeting.
Recognizing the fact that there was
seme apathy with regard to the com
ing election and that some Individuals
were conducting a veiled campaign
against the much needed Improve
ment, the city council, yesterday
afternoon adopted a resolution ap-
pointing the publicity committee and
thereby did much good.
The action of the city council has
met with universal commendation on '
all side today and has enlisted the j
services of praolku''y all the people,
with the possible exception of a few
individuals who terause of personal
Interests are rea ly against any sewer
proposition, but are afraid to openly
oppose it. j
In selecting the committee,
the members of the council en-1
deavored to represent all dls-'
trie's and all Interests. If any one's
name was omitted from the list It
was nut from personal motives but
merely because it was impossible to
place every one on the committee.
However, the council expressed the
desire that every citizen of Albuquer- 1
que consider himself a committee of
cue to co-operate with the publicity
committee in the .work of the coming
election.
The committee has numerous and
varied duties and in fuct it is given
carte blanc to do anything it may
deem advisable to place the proposi
tion before the people in the right
light and to insure the passage of the
much needed bonds.
From the sentiment today, it Is be
lieved that the bonds will pass with
little or no opposition and when the
committee has begun its work it is
hoped there will be no further doubt
about the matter.
Members of the committee were
placed on It without any attempt to
ascertain their views. The council
laJe no effort to find out whether
the members wore for or against the
bond Issue. I
Mayor Lester stated that what was
wanted was a representative com
mittee of citizens entitled to vote and
h is for the members of the commit- j
tee to decide what they want to do ',
about it. Members of the council
pledged themselves to work with the
committee and aid it In any manner
possible. I
The resolutions adopted by the
ouncil which also contain the names
f the committee are self explanatory. !
Whereas, There Is reason to he-'
lleve that the importance of the corn
ing sewer bond election Is not under- '
stood by some of the qualified elect
ors of the city, and
Whereas, There Is like reason to
believe that others of the qualified
lectors are under a misapprehension
to the nature of the questions sub
mitted and to be voted on, and
WherSK. It Is the desire of 1h!s
Albuquerque c

those who were suffering the most

Washington. D. C, Jan. 9. That
the House does not Intend to stop with
the action of yesterday In rebuking
President Roosevelt In connection
with his strictures regarding the

when, at the instance of Tawney and
without a dissenting vote, it adopted
a sweeping resolution of inquiry into
the amount of- money appropriated
for the present fiscal year for dotect

bring offenders to trial.
Apparently th House Is not' satis

bled that part of his annual message
referring to the secret service by-a
vote of 212 to 35 and adopted a reso

does not consider respectful. The
adopting of this resolution and the
