l~ NE DAY last week-no, II
was something unheard of
before. 1t was two days last
- week-about one thousand
tnsurgent, progressive and standpat
republicans held a convention in Col
orado Springs for the purpose OF re-
solving themselves into some para
mount issues and nominating a
state ticket 1t was very notable
gathering. The bulky personality Of
Angel Archie" at the head of a
bunch Of 1877 from Denver, was one
Of the prominent features OF the con.
vention and very busybody In the
hotel lobbies-early In the game, but
what the convention did TO him and
everything he stood for. before the
political fiesta was
over, must have been
Psssses ssA in decided contrast t.
pe,stsei..s the outcome OF some
OF the political stunts
that he has pulled
off In this great state of Colorado.
Years ago Angel Archie used to sit
in hack room and dictate the can
didates and the platform through a
messenger boy, but 1t was different
this year-so different that even
Angel Archie must have noticed the
difference. within two hours after
the convention had adjourned Angel
Archie was real sulky, and we heard
him make the declaration In the
lobby OF the Antlers Hotel that "de
ticket" would be defeated in Denver
by 10000 majority. Wen have to
walt to find out whether Angel Ar.
chic is as good a guesser In 1910
as he was running political con
vention during the same year OF
grace.
There were all kinds and breeds Of
republicans 1t the state convention
has beens. would be's. insurgents.
standpatters, Guggenheimers and anti
Guggenheimers. and In such motley
assemblage II would be impossible
TO spring n slate with any hope OF
success. In fact, Temporary Chairman
Dawson offered 500 reward to any
one who would locate a slate. There
was only one thing In common among
the delegates and

however. for every mothers son who

state convention that he could never

though the railroads were working
both sides Of the street. and that
