COnventiORS---SOre Over
Denver Situation
ed DRACH FOR STATE TREASURER

The democrats of Garfield county
held IL convention last Wednesday
and elected delegates to the state, con
gressional and judicial conventions
The affair was tame and uneveptful.
and if it was peculiar in any part ic
ular it was in the fact that the dele
gates apparently did not know where
to go, what 20 do or how to do it.
1t was plainly apparent that the
Denver muddle was exerting demor-
alizing effect on the Garfield county
democracy and this was admitted by
several who suggested that there be no
committee appointed on resolutions.
Chairman Ed Drach called the con
vention to order and tried to arouse a
little enthusiasm by speech which
was quite well received VIM. Dinkel
of Carbondale was then made tempo
rary chairman and the various com
mittees appointed.
The county was districted by the
apportionment committee and the fol.
lowing delegates elected to the state
and congressional conventions.

DR.. w G. Lockard was unanimous
ly elected member of the state central
committee from this county, S. j.
DeLan as a member of the congress
sional committee and f. T. Taylor as
member of the judicial central com
mttee.
At the beginning of the voting for
delegates an attempt was made to
take viva voce vote which was oh
iected to by Charley Barnes and
Henry Holmes, the latter declaring
that he was opposed to such gag rule.
After several vigorous raps with the
gavel the chairman succeeded in re
storing order and the business was al
lowed to proceed.
A few resolutions were passed which
carefully avoided taking any stand on
the mixup at Denver and advising all
delegates to the state convention to
vote for the best interests of the party
according to their Judgment. The
resolutions recommended the renomi.
nation of Judge Shumate.
Senator Taylor made motion that
it was the sense of the convention that
the delegates be instructed to use every
effort possible in the state convention
to secure the nomination of E. E.
Drach for state treasurer should Mr.
Drach desire such nomination. The
motion carried unanimously When
Mr.. Drach arose to thank the conven.
tion he said he was yet in doubt as to
whether he would want the nomina
ton. He said owing to the deplc ra
BILE division in .he party in Denver
and the uncertainty as to the result he
could not say for some time whether
he wanted to risk so doubtful :; venture
