WANT NEW BLOOD

i. A call has been issued by /
+ four or five prominent demo- 1
I. Gratis of Denver for q Meeting 1
j. of the democratic members of I
i. the state central committee of I
+ the democratic party who may !
!. desire to attend, and also all !
+ the editors of democratic faith 1
/. in the state. The conference, 4
:. for such it may be called, has
i. for its object the issuance of an I
!. address to the people of the 4
!. state in regard to the outrage I
!. that was perpetrated in stealing /
i. the gubernatorial office from the !;
). legally elected choice of the peo- :
!. ple-Alya Adams-and giving i
!. it to man that made no claim !
= for it himself, but was COM !
:. PEELED to accept the Office to sat !
= isfy the men who compose the :.
!. political robber gang that has /
+ ruled this state with an iron I
i. hand so long. i
i. The state central committee !
j. meets in Denver at the same !
i. time and those who have axes i
/. to grind in other parties affect !
i. to see in the call issued a desire !
i. upon the part of those whose i
i. names are appended TO the in 1
+ vitation to depose the present i
!. state chairman, Milton Smith, :.
+ and to inaugurate fight 1
1. against Bob Speer, mayor of I
i. Denver. They assert that there I
I. is fight on and that Bob Speer I
i. is to be disciplined because he i
i. and Senator Patterson do not i
= agree about matters and things. i
+ If there should be any truth :;
= in the latter suggestion, which j
j. we hardly think that there is. /
+ we would urge every democratic !
I. editor in the state to hold aloof /
+ from the factional fight of Den j
/. ver's party bosses. If there is /
+ one thing of which the state 1
I. democracy is quite tired it is 4
= the everlasting fight that an 1
+ nually takes place at the state !
!. conventions of the Denver del i
+ egates. Heretofore men have 1
+ feared to make protest against i
+ being made the stool pigeons /
/. for the Denver politicians. but :.
i. that time has passed, and the /
+ state has grown so large that 1
!. outside of Denver there is cry 1
j. for the suppression of the old 1
!. gang /
+ What the democratic party :,
!. needs is new blood and new life. /
i. The party is extremely tired of !
i. hearing the old names, how /
+ ever much the war horses of 1
+ the party have done for it. /
+ There comes a time when a de- l
i. mand is always made for some i
+ thing new, and Colorado democ- 1
+ racy has about arrived at that /.
+ time. !
+ We do not know of any par !.
+ ticular objection to Mr.. Smith j.
+ as chairman of the state central !
!. committee, but we do know .
1. that Mr.. Smith has been well .
1. complimented by his party, !
i. which so far as we know he has :
+ served faithfully; but even he !
i. cannot fail to see that an entire .
+ new order of things in the man :
+ agement and control of the par .
i. ing.
+ OF one thing we feel perfect .
+ ly assured: The party as a
i. whole in the state don't want :
: any factional fight to confront :
{. it next year. If Senator Patter- .
+ son has a fight on with Bob :
= Speer. let them settle their diff
: ficulties outside of the party
+ ranks. Neither of the men,
+ however great they may seem in :
= their own estimation or in that
+ of their followers, are quite so
+ large or their personal ambi-
+ tions so important as the party
!. itself
