WOLCOTT ON TOP.
Former Colorado Senator Again Lead

Denver. Colo, May "a sharp
contest has been waged for weeks for
places on the delegation to the ma
tional Republican convention from
Colorado and was still in progress
when the state convention met today
for the purpose of naming six dele
gates at large and six alternates- Fac
tiOnaI differences that have divided
the party in the state for the past two
years had been adjusted, however, be
fore the meeting of the convention.
and an agreement had been reached
to name former Senator Edward O.
WOlcOtt as the first delegate at large.
1t had also been agreed that he shall
be chairman of the Colorado delega-
tion. It was further decided by the
leaders before the convention assem-
bled that Governor James Fl. Peabody
shall be a delegate, and that, contrary
to custom, none of the congressman
shall be sent to the national conven-
ton.
The convention, numbering 7O5 del
egates, was called to order at 10:45
O'Clock by D. G. Farley, chairman of
the state committee. Edward o. VOL
colt was elected temporary chairman,
without opposition. In his address to
the convention he declared that the
mem bers of the different wings of the
Republican party in this state were
determined on unity, and that Massa-
chusetts was no more certain than
Colorado to cast it's electoral vote for
Theodore Roosevelt. He reviewed the
acts of the Republican national ad-
ministratiOn, what had been accom-
plished by President Mckinley and
President Roosevelt. Mr. Wolcott
praised the action of Governor Pea
body in maintenance of law and or

lot box frauds in Denver, he said the
situation was critical and seemed to
be we'll nigh hopeless.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 6.-The third
days session of the Methodist general
conference convened this morning
promptly at 9so'clock with Bishop Will
lard f. Mallalieu presiding. Already
the work of the conference has frnbued
the delegates with interest and entaus-
iasm and hardly a seat in the great
parQuet of the pavilion was vacant
when the presiding officer raped for
order at the opening hour today. The
galleries were filed rapidly with eager
spectators anxious to get n glimpse Of
the forensic contests that have already
/ been indicated would be a part of the
daily proceedings.
Although the conference is but 48
hours old, preliminary skirmishes be-
tween the various leaders have already
taken place and they have been sulfi-
cient to indicate that many interesti'.is
scenes of this sort wSll be enacted on
/ the floor of the conclave before the cay

manner in which the leaders of debat =
sprang to the fray yesterday when The

there would be out few dull days dur

these bodies has already been accom-
plished the work of proceeding with
the consideration OF the problems be-
fore them will go fcrwasd without in

ton of DR.. M. King has adopted a
resolution to the effect that minority
reports of the committee when signed
