DENVER POLITICS

Denver, Sept G.-After a confer
ence late last night in the office Of c,
j. Hughes, Jru chief counselor at

Speer Democrats decided it would
be bad politics to name a fun county
ticket at today's convention.
According to the original program
proposed by Mayor speer and his
chief lieutenant, II. A. Lindsey, to
go before the state convention with a
ticket nominated has not been fully
decided upon.

Insley were among those who advis-
ed against naming n county ticket be

thing definite was decided upon. The
unexpected defeat at Pueblo last
night is reponsible for the change OF
plans. One Of the Tramway's lead
ers said this morning that major.

naming a ticket, but in view of the
