THREE CANDIDATES
OPEN HEADQUARTERS

Denver Republican: Headquarters
have been engaged in the Adams ho-
tel by John ii. Vivian, secretary of
tee. The headquarters are those of
three senatorial candidates, Frank C.
Goudy. Irving Howbert and N Walter
Dixon for the present. though later
the last two will probably open separ-
ate headquarters. The plan of cam
paigp. so far as revealed, is that all
hree will work together and later de-
tarmine to which of the three their
combined strength shall be thrown.
The understanding is that Mr.. Vivian
will be in charge of the headquarters.
The move, it is said, is partly due
to the position taken by Governor
elect Peabody, Mr., Peabody wants to
keep out OF the senatorial fight. He
has made his office, pending Inaugural
ton, at Republican headquarters,
which, though not by the permission
come to be, to a considerable extent,
committed to certain senatorial can
didates.
With these headquarters taken to
another place and the whole sena-
iorial fight removed from the present
scene OF action, the governor can pro-
Ceed to select the men he wants to
fill the ofIicas -,i.r-.--+
side with any faction. State head
quarters will then resume their old po-
sition of neutrality toward all mem
bzrs of the organization.
Mr. Peabody is expected in Denver
this afternoon. and with Secretary
Maxwell will begin sitting the mass
of applications and reducing it by the
elison of those applicants whose
qualifications do not meet the govern
or's ideas Governor Peabody is anx-
ious to have the office seekers off his
hands as early as possible, so that
whea the legislature is in session he
may be able to give his undivided at
,entiou to affairs of state.

The rot about Colorado losing part
of its territory to New Mexico be-
cause the original act forming the ter
ritory of New Mexico made its north
ern boundary line the 3Sth degree of
latitude is intended only for a sensa-
sation. Everybody knows that con
gress could put the whole of New
Mexico into this state If Colorado
would consent. Territories can be
carved up to suit the pleasure of con
gress until once they are admitted
into the union. Then they cannot be
divided without the consent of the
people who inhablt the state. 1t has
been matter of consideration to
make New Mexico and Arizona one
state when admitted into the union.
When only territories are concerned,
the last act governs; so that when the
enabling act aud the act forming the
territory of Colorado were passed
they being later than the act which
created and defined the boundaries of
New Mexico. the former control. The
Post is only trying to be sensational
There are not even the elements of
mistake about the acts pointed out
for congress had the full authority to
cut out of New Mexico the territory in
question when it formed the territory
of Colorado and also when II formed
the state of Colorado.
