Durango semi-weekly herald., 1902-02-24

good show of success. and this holds
true in regard to most of the other
nominees. Mr.. Goudy is held in high
esteem by most of the outside coun-
ties, although there is little friction
in Arapahoe county but not of the
kind that will show in the election
Whether Mr.. Goudy will be candi-
date is not known. 1t is not probable
that he will make canvass for the
nomination, permitting the convention
| to do as it sees fit without undue
| persuasion. AS a running mate it is
is doubtful If the Hon. Percy Rider
Ill consent TO have his name go be-
fore the convention for lieutenant
governor, although the honor could
be had by such consent. Mr.. Riders
additional mining duties require most
of his me, and he only consented to
go on the ticket two years ago to aid
the party. Should the nomination of
governor go to someone outside of
Denver Mr.. Riders name is frequent
ly mentioned and the convention could
go farther and fare worse. Mr.. Rider
is regarded as IA gentleman well quail
flied for the position and stands high
with the business as well as laboring
interests.
Should Mr. Goudy not desire the
nomination and the place be given to
a Denver man, Hon. r. r. Wright
Denvers business mayor, is receiving
favorable mention. Mr. Wright has
oh n1,; ,f
Cclorado's largest city. and stands
high in the estimation of those who
know him and who have had business
dealings with the city. AS governor
the state would be in for business
instead of a political administration.
For congressman at large there is
only one man talked of at present
the Hon. Franklin e. Brooks of Colo
RADIO Springs. Mr.. Brooks is an en-
ergetic young Republican man of
much talent and force and in the
halls of congress would be an active
agent for the welfare of the growing
state of Colorado. El Paso county is
the banner Republican county of the |
state, and Republicans of other coun-
ties feel that 1t should be rewarded
when within the power of the party |
to do so. 1t has been reported that |
Mr.. Farley, the new chairman, is a
candidate for governor. but such is
not the case, or at least as long as
Mr.. Brooks is in the field for con-
gress. The Republicans of Colorado |
Springs and El Paso county are unit |
fr,- 4
selves to secure his endorsement by |
the convention. The Herald recog-
niZes in Mr.. Brooks timber that will |
wear well and stand the test of Off
cial duty and we also recognize the |
just claims of FL Paso county in this |
direction.
That H NJ. Hogg will be renomi-
mated for another trial in the Second |
congressional district very few doubt. !
He is the choice of the southern and |
and western counties, although Ed |
NJ Browne of Teller county will be
candidate Mr.. Browne thinks he is |
entitled to the nomination this time |
and that he can carry the mining vote |
of Cripple Creek district being essen
TALLY a miner himself. But with |
Brooks for congressman at large the |
western part of the state will demand
representation and Hogg fills the bill
in this respect
For United States senator there is a
disposition to leave the matter open,
allowing as many aspirants as desire
to assist in electing a legislature and
then select the best and most availa- /
BILE man.
Altogether. the Republican outlook
this fall is very bright. There Is dis
gust and dissatisfaction throughout
the state over fusionism and fusion
methods, forcibly illustrated by the in
competent and extravagant general |
assembly which is only vouched for
by one newspaper in the state, the
Rocky Mountain News. and this sheet
would be loud in condemnation had
not it's editor, Thomas NJ. Patterson,
been elected senator at its hands. |
High taxation with no equivalent ben
efits is the result of fusionism. and the
voters and taxpayers are going to
