Mr.. O'DrlscoI was talking and especially when he
made the statement about his undyng friendship for
the saloons. Others laughed and made fun, and sew
eral remarked to The Herald reporter that they would
rather go down defeat never have an office of
any kind, than to grovel in the dust like men had
done to secure aldermanic recognition.
The Second ward delegates were out about 10
minutes when they returned Spokesman Ellis said
that the delegates had canvassed the situation and
had decided to stand pat-that the men named

average delegate and Democrat present sad but the
servllty OF some seeking position the ticket
in for general comment. One bunch admitted that if
the men and women of Durango could have witnessed
the proceedings and heard the remarks that it would
be impossible TO muster 300 votes for the
