Democrat. Assemble

The Democratic County Central
committee met in this city last Sunday
but the call for the meeting did not
state where it was to be held, nor did
the official report tell where the meet
ing was held. 1t is surmised that the
committee sought to obtain liquid re-
freshments, as the very idea of talking
polit cs without something to drink is
d stasteful to a democrat 1t was not
decided at the meeting whether the
leaders Of the party would tie to Pat
terson or Speer, but to avoid tipping
their hands the members IF the COM
mittee talked about ryan. and about the
only action taken was to ask the state
convention to send j. H. Robeson,
resident of Denver and San Juan, to
the national convention in Denver as
the official organ says. 3'to represent
the gold and silver mining indus
try" Gee .whizi
There was a notable. absence of the
leaders of the democratic patty who
reside in this city, especially that por-
tion recognized by the regular
party leaders in the state. This wing
of the party refuses to associate with
the would-be democratic editor-boss Of
the local democracy, but the fun has mt
started yet. No one has noticed
call for the organization of Bryan
club. The chairman announced at the
meeting that the democratic ''organ-
izatign" would meet once a month and
that allmembers Of the party would
be invited to attend The .meetings-
The place of meeting will be kept se-
cret, however, for fear that the other
wing might attend and oust the present
self-appointed officers.
