GUGGENH[lM' FOE
FOR GOVERNOR
Merle D. Vincent Was Lone Repub-
Iican To Vote Against smelter
Mans Election To Senate.

DENVER, Col. July 19.-The battle
against increased influence in Alaska
by the Guggenheims Is to be carried
into the bailiwick OF the only official
member OF that Influential! family.
Four years ago when Guggenhelm
was yearning toward the senate
checks for large amounts were SEM
from his ONCE to the Republican can
dldates for legislature. with a nice
note expressing the hope that the do
nation would prove helpful in saving
the party"
From the small town OF Paonia one
OF these checks was returned. IL came
from Merle D. Vincent, who Informed
the senatorial aspirant that the party
was doing well, thank you, without the
donation In question-which was more
than the young lawyer made ~
year from mis- law practice.
Vincent was elected. In the caucus
he bolted He declared that he W0ald
never vote for one of the chief rust
magnates OF the country for United
states senator. on the final rolicall
he alone denounced the election OF
Guggenheim from the floor Of the
house. Thenceforward throughout the
session he was ostracized.
When he went home his consutu'
ents met him with band. But when
he came up for denomination Guggen'
helm money and Guggenheim federal
appointments defeated him.
Now the Republican insurgents OF
Colorado have chosen this pioneer
young insurgent as their candidate Tor
the gubernatorial nomination, and IN
his campaign, Simon Guggenheim,
senior senator from this state, end
the connection of the smelter trust
with the BaIlinger controversy, will be
used as his chief argument as to why
the Republican party should ditch the
old organization.
There was a conference OF insur-
gents In Denver the other day, and
VIM. Allen White was there. He
Joined with the Colorado insurgents in
urging Vincent to be OF good courage
and keep up the fight
