NO AGREEMENT
ON CITY CHARTER
Democrats Do Not Approve
Of Ward BOuRdrieS in
Measure

During tho meeting OF city Council and
long after that body adjourned last even
ng, members of the Legislature from THIS
city, members OF the charter committee oil
the Board Of Trade and city Council ami
Mayor Horace Wilson conferred on thr
proposed new charter question No agree
mcnt was reached. however, as the Demo
Gratis present objected TO the charter IN Is
present form. and offered no suggestions.
rnoso who participated In the confer
enoo were. Senators George w Sparks
and Thomas NJ. Monaghan. Representa-
tives Robert Keenan, Frank r. Paradeo
and Joseph T. McCafferty. William r.
Bancroft. Alfred Belts. Phllemma Chand-
Ter, Mayor Horace Wilson, city Council
men James Kane. Michael n. Cannon and
Howard u. Ross Thomas H. saverv,
president of the Beard OF Trade, and A.
T.. Johnson. the president OF the Street and
Sewer Department
Senator Sparks offered the charter and
declared that tho Republican members OF
tho Legislature were willing to grant any
concessions which would be made IN good
faith for tho purpose Of getting the char
ter passed. one OF the principal obiec-
ticns Of the Democrats was that the pro-
posed plan OF having four wards In the
city instead of twelve. as al present
would give the city almost entirely 10 the
Republicans, particularly II some Of tho
counciimen were chosen az large
Another contention that arose was over
the appointment OF the four heads OF de-
psrtments Some thought they should be
chosen from four different districts OF the
city, SO that each section would be repre-
scented in the city'a government Others
favored the selection Of heads or the de-
parments by The mayor from any place
IN tho city desired Tho views Of some
were also TO elect the four directors by
the vote Of the people for the same period
as uhe mayor. No agreement could be
reached, however. and the meeting ad-
jouned without anything being accom-
plished.

The biggest thing that has been
started in the state for some time is
the movement to raise $l0o,o0o to ad-
vertise Colorado.
The movement is under the direc-
ton of the Colorado State Commercial
Association.
The result is to be accomplished
through the efforts of committee of
one hundred. This committee is COM
posed of a hundred wide-awake men
from all over the state.
The motto is, "A Greater Colorado. ''
The object is TO advertise Colorado
to the world.
California. Oregon and Washington
have done twenty times the amount
of advertising Colorado has done and
those states have been getting the re-
suits.
Los Angeles alone has done as much
systematic advertising as Colorado.
and Los Angeles as she is today Is
the best possible exhibition of sue
