PEABODY.

No matter how much beating
around the bush, Peabodyism Is going
to be the issue in the Colrado cam
paign this fall and there is no use
evading It, The Herald favored en-
dorsing Jeabody in the La Plata coun-
ty convention last spring when the
governor needed backing in his law
and order policy and was for the same
endorsement at the county convention
last Saturday. We believe the local
standing of the party would have been
better had the convention passed res
olutions upholding the general policy
OF the executive the past eighteen
months. Failure to do SO makes 1t
apear that our people are not with the
governor and causes hundreds of Dem
ocrats to comment unfayorably on
the omission in Saturdays resolu-
tions. However, every delegate Is
pledged to support Mr.. Peabody in the
convention and does not mean. as
some intimate. that they stand ready
to form a combination to stampede
to some other man.
