REPUBLICANS TO
BEGIN CAMPAIGN

Denver Republican,:
State Republican headquarters have
been secured at the Brown Palace no
tel, and tomorrow move will be made
from the Colorado Republican Club
across the way. At the same time
the state campaign will be inaugural
ed and there will be no let-up until
the November election. Chairman
Farley Of the state committee en-
gagged rooms 235. 237. 23y and 241 OF
the hotel yesterday until Sept. IA, on
which day the Republican state con.
vention will convene and elect officers
and nominate state ticket. The CON-
ing week the campaign in Denver will
be undertaken.
A number of the Republican lead
ers were in Denver yesterday to con-
fer regarding the immediate future.
With Mr.. Farley from Colorado
Springs were Philip B. Stewart and
Congressman Brooks; from Denver,
Frank w. Howbert, John F. Vivian,
j. w. Milson, Frank NJ. Downer, fed
eral Office holders; Richard Broad, Jr.,
and A. E Brent of Prowers county. As
result of this and previous confer
ences it was decided to sever connec-
ton with the Republican Club and
have separate headquarters. 1t was
also decided to begin the campaign
without delay and prosecute 1t ag-
gressively.
Headquarters for the Republican
women's organization will be estab.
lished at the Brown Palace hotel 1t
is proposed to have a Republican lead
er from outside Denver take hold of
this division. There are a number
Of factions in Denver, snd each of
these has its favorite daughter, and
to allay all factional differences an
outside leader will be introduced.
There is much work to be done in
the state to harmonize all aspirants
for place this year. County officers
and members of the legislature will
be elected in november and the coun-
ties are not little interested In the
state officers to be nominated. With
President Roosevelt at the head and
sound state ticket 1t is felt there
should be no difficulty in carrying
Colorado by a large majority.
1T is my wish to have the party
united for the good of the party. and
that there be no more talk OF VOL
cottism or antl-Wolcottism or any
other kind of anti from this on" said
Chairman Farley yesterday. What
we have to do this year is to elect a
president of the United States, a state
ticket and county tickets, and II we
expect to succeed we must all come to-
gether. The result Of the meeting OF
the state committee recently l do not
look upon as a victory for me or any
wing or faction of the party; all 1 am
working for Is the complete success Of
the whole party"
Mr. Farley said ne would at once
enter into communication with the
chairmen of the county committees
and other leaders in the party
throughout Colorado and endeavor
to have things In working shape be-
fore the state convention.
1t has been rumored that Washington
was "butting-in" on the Colorado
political line up this year. Mr.. Fairly
stod there was no truth in such rumors
President Roosevelt and his advisers
were most anxious to have Colorado
In line for the party this year and
the national leaders believed that this
state would have . most important
bearing on the national result, but that
the Colorado Republicans should
work out their own salvation.
Informal conferences Of the local
leaders were held yesterday and head
way made toward q reorganization Of
the Republican city and county COM
mittee with r. A. Williams at the
head.
