DEMOCRATS MEET

In the several precincts of the
held primaries for the purpose of
electing delegates to attend the coun-
ty convention to be held Saturday.
This convention is called for the pur-
pose of elect!ng delegates to the
state convention, which convenes in
Denver on Wednesday, September
14th. The primaries in every precinct
in the county were largely attended,
which was in decided contrast to the
few who attended the Republican
primaries few nights previous. In
some of the outside precincts it was
necessary for the Republicans to bor-
row one or two Democrats to make
up a quorum. Republicans. hereabouts
are like misunderstanding scarcer
every year. 1t will be a wonder If
the party of Simon will be able to
muster enough candidates this fall,
who are willing to be slaughtered on
the followers OF Guggenheim locally
is indeed discouraging-in short, dis
heartening. The delegates elected to
the Democratic county convention
were:

In May the Denver and Gross Col
lege of Medicine signed contract
by which 1t unites with the School
of Medicine of the University of
Colorado. The Denver and Gross Col
lege has discontinued the teaching
of the first two years of the medi-
cal curriculum and on or before the
first day of January, 1911, will dis
continue the teaching of the remain
ing years as well. A constitutional
amendment permitting the university
to conduct the last two years of the
medical course in Denver will be sub.
mitted to the people of the state.
Should the amendment not be approx.
ed, the entire medical course will be
taught in Boulder as at present, but
with such additions to, and improve
ments in, the present equipment as
it may be possible to make from time
to time. In any event the contract of
the Denver and Gross college is to
be carried out. During the past three
years the university's medical college
has made very striking advance in
equipment and methods of instruc-
ton. and in standing with medical
educators in the east.
