II is reported that Senator Hughes
Of Colorado. will resign because OF
failing health, and that Mayor Speer
OF Denver, will succeed him.
Hughes, one OF the pirates OF priv
ilege who have for years ridden SUI
preme in rporation-controlled Col
orado, sought the senatorial toga, but
two years ago for two reasons. First,
like many another man, good and bad,
he craved the glamour, the Difference
and power which went with a seat
In the senate; second, the powerful
railroad, Wall-st., mining. smelter and
Denver municipal corporate interests
wanted a safe and sane"-for them
man In the chamber alongside Gug-
genheim, also safe and sane. but not
as valuable in that he had not the
ability to work out the nefarious
schemes for the interests. In the lat
ter respect Hughes was perfectly sue
cessful.
However, the cause OF progressive
ism will gain nothing by the election
Of Mayor Speer, the Democratic boss
Of Denver, whose rule has been made
notorious by the grasping public SER
vice corporations which he has allow
