DENVER, Colo, Sept. 29.-Former
United States Senator Edward o.
Wolcott, won decisive victory today
in the contest before the Republican
State Central Committee between the
rival factions in this city and after
wards in the state convention.
The committee by vote of II to 1S,
placed the Wolcott delegates on the
temporary roll call of the convention
and the convention by unanimous
vote made the temporary roll call per-
manent.
No opportunity was given the anti
Wolcott delegates to make a contest
before the convention.
Mr.. Wolcott was chosen temporary
chairman of the convention without
opposition and in carefully prepared
speech denounced his opponents in the
Republican party. A strongly worded
resolution endorsing President Roose-
welt for reelection in 1904, was unan-
imously adopted without reference to
the cOmUl1llbb Ou ItSOiutlOhSs
Only one office-that of justice of
the supreme courts to be filled at
this years election and for this choice
Chief Justice John M. Campbell was
honored with nomination by aceia~
nation.
When d. B. Farley, chairman, call
ed the state committee to order
eighty-nine members were present,
only seven counties not being repre-
sented
The chairman announced that the
business of the committee was to pass
or credentials and to hear contests
if there were any.
The credentials of all counties ex-
cept Denver were accepted, there be-
ing no other contests. The contest
in Denver was taken up. Only two
speeches of three minutes each were
allowed to each side.
After the speechmaking a motion
was made that the list of delegates
selected at the Tabor opera house,
known as the Wolcott delegates.
should be certified to and entered upon
the temporary roll call of the conven-
tion. A substitute motion that the
committee certify to neither list was
lost by rising vote, and the original
motion carried, II to Is.
Immediate adjournment was taken
to the Turner hail. where the state
convention was held. Edward O..
lWolcott was introduced as temporary
chairman of the convention and he
made a ringing speech.
He said there was no room for
wheels within wheels in the Republic
can party and no person was so near
the President of the United States
that the sunshine of patronage could
filter only through him.
There was no argument at all before
the people regarding the election OF
any man to the United States senate
or keeping him out.
Colorado, in every way, Mr.. VOL
colt declared, was for President
Roosevelt The Republican party in
the state, he said, would never sur
render it's organization to the corpora
tions. State Chairman Farley made
a few remarks.
The temporary roll call was made
the permanent roll call by unanimous
vote.
Judge N. Walter Dixon was chosen
permanent chairman and in an address
condemned political demagoguey, es-
pecially populism and socialism.
At the afternoon session, John
Campbell. present chief justice, was
nominated by acclamation to succeed
himself in the supreme court.
