quarters here over Mr.. Taft's decis-
ion to make number of brief speech
es on his trip from Sandusky to Gin

though no arrangements have yet
been made for him to leave Cincin-

FARCE
Special to The Sentinel. l

Denver, Sept. 4.-COntrary to
their statements of Wednesday, the
attorneys for the men under citation
for contempt in Judge Shattuck' S
court yesterday afternoon failed to
carry their case to the supreme court,
but instead stated that they had no
occasion to go to that tribunal at the
present time.
During the afternoon the Vivian
Guggenheim faction claimed to hold
their primaries Notwithstanding the
fact that not a judge was announced
nor a polling place made public.
Neither has their county committee
as appointed by the state central
committee last Saturday ever been
made public.
So far as yesterdays primaries
are concerned. they consisted in the
meeting of a few leaders in a back
room and list of delegates were
named to tomorrow's convention, the
same as the county committee was
named in a back room Saturday
morning.
The whole proceeding is in direct
violation of the party rules of both
state and county.
The failure of the attorneys for
those cited for contempt to appear
before the supreme court to apply
for writ of certiorari, as they had
promised to do, lends color to the
charges openly made that there is no
disposition on the part of those who
We're trying to secure control of Den
yer to follow any rules of the party,
