BELOW are brief extracts from speech
made in the recent Colorado state conven-
ton by Ex- Governor Pitkin. They will be
of interest to Montpelier people because
they nominate former well-known resi-
dent of Montpelier (and leader of the
old cornet band) for a prominent office:
Mr.. Chairman: l rise in behalf of the
Pueblo delegation to present the name of
the Hon. James Rice of Pueblo for secre-
tary of state. | know this convention is
anxious to avoid long speeches, and in or
der to save GO time ~ being called upon me
| will limit my remarks to about one min
ute. You have heard many speeches made
here to-day, reciting the virtues of the diff
ferent candidates who have come before
this convention for different offices, and |
think l can safely say that if you picked
| out the eulogies pronounced on all and
condensed them into a speech in favor of
! James Rice it would tit him to certainty.
He has been soldier and for twenty years
a republican. Pueblo county was demo
cratic, but now is republican, and if James
Rice is nominated as the republican candi-
date for secretary of state, believe Pue-
bio county will give a large majority for
the entire republican ticket and will give
James Rice, as secretary of state, one
thousand majority Mr. Rice is not con
nected with and has not been presented by
any combination or association. He comes
before this convention upon his merits as
republican. On behalf of the republicans
of Pueblo county we trust that this conven.
ton will accede to the request by nom
mating the Hon. James Rice for secretary
of state"
