There was not leader ON either
side who wanted Gabbert nominated
During the last ten days Broad,
Farley, Vivian, Stewart, and, in
fact. all of the Republican leaders
who represented the corporation
faction, came out IN the opea and
swore by all that was good and hol,
that no Populist would ever dis
grace l,t1ublitah titkel.
Bat Gabbert has received bis re-
ward tas least that 5 how Lieutenant
Governor Parks, who nominated
him, put it and his name will Cab
berthe the ticket In placing Mr.
Gabhert S name before the conven-
ton Mr. Parks did not say that he
was Republican, he did not say
that his candidate was a fair or an
impartial Judge. He did not ssy
that Mr.. Gabbert has changed one
iota in politics from what he WAS
when a populist he st9mped Colora-
do ienouncing the men who repre-
sented the Republican party, but
Mr.. Parks did say that his candidate
had for two years stesdfastly render
ID decisions that benefited the Re-
psblican party and therefore he
aAould be rewarded.
His nomination wss not the re-
salt Of = free and sntrammeled con-
vention. 1t was the result of the
corporation lash upon men whose
jobs in the statehouse. the court
houses and the city halls of Colora-
do that are controlled by the COZ
corations depended upon their cast
ing their votes for man they in
variably cursed while they cast
their votes. The chairman of the
Denver delegation voted his men by
saying, "iou know what the slate
is for, if any Of you dare go against
it, stand up"
The Republicans of Colorado can
now vote for only one Republican
for the supreme bench, Chas. Cas-
well of Grand Junction. For the
other position on that bench they
must choose between one Populist,
William H. Gabbert: two Democrats,
Williar, y Saa1s and Gao l. Hail
