debate, spoke of the regular dele,
cation as the "Speer delegation"
In moment Julius Aichle was
on the platform with a protest SO
vigorous that the chairman threat
ened to put him in charge of a
sergeant at arms. You can't do
it with one" screamed Aichle.
1T will take two to make me lay
down while you misrepresent
this delegation. There are a
dozen men on this delegation who
are just democrats. We wear no
mans collar and you must not
call US SPeer delegates"
The chairman yielded to the
protest and discontinued using
the obnoxious term.
To the credit of many of the
displaced delegation it may be
said that they announce they will
not bolt. Naturally some will.
But the party may easily depend
on securing ample recruits from
the ranks Of those who have
hoped to see the democracy take
the right stand to make up for
all defections.
Next week we shall try to print
the platform which will per-
haps more than ever before in
the history of the party in this
state, set out its course. We be-
lieve that the ticket if successful
as it should be will stand on this
platform with both feet.

drew 4 dramatic picture of the
election riots of some years since
in which Sheriff Jones played so
vicious a part and after tuning
up the nerves of his auditors to
the last octave in the scale turned
to Jones sitting in the Patterson
delegation and said: ION your
corrupt and blood, stained soul
rests the responsibility for the
murder of those men" Turning
like fash to the Speer delegates
he shouted Stand up Carpenter"
and upon the shoulders OF sur
rounding delegates was hoisted
the man who lost a leg IN the
riots. Whirling to the Patterson
side the speaker cried Stand up
Jones and view your work" 1t
certainly looked like a bid for a
riot. In a second the shouts Put

had brought the speaker back to
earth. He appreciated the demon
he had SO near unloosed and in
commanding tones ordered his
followers and associates to sub
side. The sargeants at arms
labored and Speer delegates took
their seats growing ominously.
1t was the supreme moment of
the convention and as a spectator
who does not believe he lost his
heaed, we unhesitatingly express
the belief that the convention
narrowly escaped frightful and
bloody riot at that time. Thomas
soon closed his address with
an appeal that the delegation
be not thrown out.
Senator Patterson followed Mr.,
Thomas and his address was as
powerful an appeal as he is cap
able of making tor purified and
purged democracy. He did not
so into personalities as did his
opponents, but dealt more dis
passionately with the great ques-
tlons involved.
The speeches were all master
pieces by Colorado's greatest
forensic lights. Never before
were they so deeply moved and
never before did they battle so
hercely for the mastery.
But after all was said the dele
gates, representing districts not
so near the storm center OF cor
poration arrogance, willed it that
the democracy go back to first
principles. Mr.. Speer and his
delegation were excluded and the
Patterson delegation was seated.
AS indicating that the rank and
file Keenly felt the disgrace of
being attached to Robert Speer,
we may site an incident of the
morning session of the day on
which the great battle was fought.
The convention chairman, SEN
ator Taylor, taking the cue from
the report of the committee on
credentials which had denomi-
mated the delegations as the
Speer delegation and the Patter-
son delegation for convenience of
The newspaper., 1906-09-14

they plead successfully for a
finish fight and this they were
given by the committee.
A majority report was made by
the credentials committee in favor
of seating the Patterson delega-
ton. A minority report was also
made IN favor OF seating the Speer
delegation. This carried the
great fight directly to the floor
OF the convention and on the next
morning began the most titanic
struggle that even old attendants
at state conventions have ever
seen.
The debate started with MIR
Chas Hughes who certainly de-
Iivered one of the greatest argu-
ments in favor of following the
law and precedents that we have
ever heard. His speech bristled
with brilliant comparisons, and
was stupendous effort tor the
corporation side of the contro-
versy. 1t was we'll calculated to
produce the effect of unsettling
the minds of those who were in
doubt, and could hardly have
been stronger from their stand
point for an opening argument.
He saw tit to severely arraign the
organization of the convention
and antagonized the state chair
man and the chairman OF the con-
vention.
Mr.. Hughes was followed by
Hon. T. J. O'Donnel, the silver
tongued orator of the state. and
for an hour or more the vast
audience were treated to as bril-
liant and pointed an address as
men hear in life time. He was
frequently interrupted by his
opponents and in every case
turned the tables in manner
that established his reputation as
past master of repartee. Again
and again he oratorically boxed
the ears of his interrupters always
in way which, while bitter at
times and filed with stinging
sarcasm and irony, was marvel
ously humorous, invoked laugh
even from the men whom he was
attacking. He scorched Mr..
Hughes, whom he characterized
as lawyer whose pockets were
filled with corporation retainers
and who now essayed to give ad-
vice to the other party to the
controversy.
Hon. Chas. S. Thomas then
took the floor and such an inn
passioned address, filed with in
vective and sarcasm in which he
mcrcilessly castigated his foes
we do not believe was ever before
delivered in the Centennial state.
Near the close of his address he

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
For Once the Democratic Party Has Responded the E
pressed Will Of the People Without Question.

The Democratic convention
that has Just completed its labors
gave the most emphatic declara-
ton OF their opposition to cor
poration domination in politics
that has ever been PROMULGATED
by the party. There was not tor
one moment the slightest hesita-
ton. They knew that the people
demanded that corporation sup
porters be displaced, they recog-
nizch that democracyIand corpor-
ate greed has nothing in common,
they rose to the stupcndous
emergency and in a dignifed and
yet positive manner deposed
from the party councils the men
whose corporation affiliations
have done so much to create the
impression that the democracy
was tied to Bill Evans chariot
wheels as is the republican party.
Probably no more exciting
scenes were ever witnessed in a
democratic convention in any
state than were those that pre-
ceeded the ousting OF the 'Speer
delegation. Certain it is that
nothing like II was ever seen in
this state.
The credentials committee
worked all day and night with
only a slight intermission for
meals, taking some little testi-
mony but principally listening to
arguments by the giant minds OF
the party relative to the eligibil-
ity of the two delegations to sit in
the convention, AS participant
in their deliberations we believe
that every man was impressed
with two-facts:
First, That the so-called Speer
delegation was clearly the straight
and regular delegation, further
that several of its leaders were
affiliated with the utility corpora
tions OF Denver to an extent that
justified the belief that their
admission was dangerous to the
success not only of the ticket,
but to the advancement OF the
true principles OF democracy.
Second, That the Patterson
delegation, while representing the
genuine reform element of the
party, was not regular and if
seated must be so.placcd by revo-
lutionary tactics.
1t was most embarrassing
situation and a very respectable
number of the members of the
committee would have favored a
move that both followed legal
action and at the same time stood
tor the principles of the party.
To this end it was at one time
proposed TO unseat both delega-
tons and reorganize the party in
Denver. This action was bitterly
