Democratic Convention in s~in..

The democrats of Otero county
met in convention in Swink Wednes-
day to elect delegates to the state
convention which will be held at
Glenwood Springs on June 18th.
There was quite bunch of the ex-
ponents of Jeffersonian doctrines
present, most of whom made their
little talk-some by the way talked
more than others. in order and out
of order. Thing were rather, mud
died at some stages of the game.
and if the democratic hosts all over
the country are the same way. he
with the silver tongue" will never
satisfy the longing which cannot be
eradicated. to sit in the chair in
Uncle Sans big White House and
this is going to be Little Willie's
last chance to make good.
The Speer-Patterson political f.
asco. which is going to cause the
biggest kind of an eruption at Glen
wood Springs. was completely ig-
nored by the Otero county democ-
racy. although adherents of both
Speer and Patterson were named on
the delegation to the state conven-
ton. The whole bunch will be
Speer men after next week or
mugwumps.
The meeting was called to order
by County Chairman j. b. Pearce,
at 1918 O'Clock. Judge Wallis was
chosen as temporary chairman. and
Dom p. Mosher as temporary sec
retary. which organization was later
made permanent. Recess was then
taken in order to give the various
committees time to make their re-
ports. The meeting was again call
ed to order and the reports submit
ted. The resolutions were then
read, which of course we're mainly
devoted to lauding William J. Bry-
an as the only man who could fill
the presidential chair in a manner
that would suit the whole universe
especially the democrats who are
suited with any old kind of hand
ling of the country's affairs, so long
as they come from democrat. In
| fact Willie was the idol of the con-
vention the tall grass: the flower
of the Valley of Democracy; the un-
tainted and undefiled: the mower
who would cut the republican cam
didate so close to the earth that he
would never rise again sno new
er. Well this is the third time Will
lie has tried it. Twice before his
mower got stuck in the field of
good old republicanism. and when
he tried to ascend to the chair he
found the way was creased with
thousands of good republican votes.
and he slipped back just as he will
this time. but on this occasion he
will not be able to get to the top
again, so badly will he be swamped.
| After the reading of the resolu-
tions, Tom Stratton. of Rocky Ford,
tried to 'resolutionize" Crowley
and Ebbert. but it didn't stick. The
