lin e. Brooks.
The announcement was made to.
day by Senator Cornforth to a large
number of his friends, who are con-
fident that he will secure the nomin-
alton at the Republican state conven-
tion this fall.
When seen this morning prior to
leaving for Clyde, where he delivered
the principal address at thee Pythian
picnic given by Garden of the Gods
company No. 9. Uniform Rank, Sen
ator Cornforth acknowledged to a
representative of The Evening Tele-
graph that he Is candidate for con
gressman-at-large. subject to the ac-
tion of the Republican party.
Il have received encouragement
from all over the state" said Senator
Cornforth. mot only here and in the
southwest. but from Denver and
northern towns us well as from many
friends on the western slope have
also received many letters urging me
to be candidate this fall Relying
on statements made by the state
central committee that 1t would be
an open race for congressman-at-
large, | have Just announced my can
didacy."
Senator Cornforth was elected to
the state senate In the fall of 1909.
In 1903 he served In the special as
well as the regular session. He also
was member of the senate In 1905,
OF which body he became president
pro tenn. When Jesse f. Mcdonald
was elected governor, Senator Corn.
forth was acting president, and was
subsequently regarded as lieutenant
governor until the state supreme
session of the legislature, Senator
Cornforth was elected chairman of
the Republican caucus of the senate
as well as chairman of the Joint Re
publican caucus of the house and sen
ate. thus being recognized as lead
ei vi lht iNtpuDlcdhb III lne StHdlt.
Mr.. Cornforth's chances of secur-
ing the nomination are thought by
his friends to be exceedingly good.
for it is generally considered that
whoever gets the support OF the El
Paso county delegation at the state
convention will get the nomination.
In this connection 1t is pointed out
that Denver and the northern part of
the state mas representative in

southern district Is represented by
Congressman Herschel NJ. Hogg,
whose home is really In Pueblo, 30
that 1t is but logical that the next
ongressmanat-large will be from Ell
Paso county. which is acknowledged
the banner Republican county in the
state.
Senator Cornforth's address, deliy-
cred today at Clyde. was an eloquent
exposition of the inner meaning OF
patriotism. He spoke OF some of the
evils that threaten the nation and
urged that the remedy lies in the
hands of voters who go to the polls
determined to cast their ballots in
accordance with the dictates of the
highest ideals of citizenship.

THE CELEBRATION.

Notwithstanding the rain the cele.
bration last week proved success
rejecting credit on the various com.
mittees looking after the executive
part and minor details. In the South.
ern Carnival company the executive
committee secured source of enter
tainment that met with general ap-
proval. There were several features
OF the show very commendable, equal
to anything In the large cities. True.
there were two or three that could
be profitably dispensed with, but no
one expects every feature to be first
class and it is not necessary for the
public to patronize them as II is soon
noised about what Is really good.
But as n whole there should be no
complaint on this score, and we be.
lieve the people are well pleased.
This was evidenced by the large
crowds on the streets from early
morning until late at night on the
Fourth and also during the pleasant
evenings of the entire week. AL
though the rain kept the country peo-
pie at home to a large extent, there
were many strangers in the city, com
ing from Pennington, Aztec. Mancos,
Sliverton, Pine River, Pagosa Springs
and other sections.
The various committees worked
hard and the contributors owe them
vote of thanks and we believe about
everyone is willing To concede this.
