The calling of the members Of the
legislature together in Denver this
week by Chairman Ward for the con-
sideration of the platform measures,
undoubtedly was resultant of some
good. A get-together spirit permeat-
ed the gathering and the feeling
which existed among the people at
the adjournment of the regular ses-
sion that nothing toward the redemp-
ton of the. party pledges would be
done in extra session is now dispell-
ed. Another conference Of the Demo
cratic members of the house and
senate will be held during the middle
of July. By this time the governor
will have issued his call for the
extra and the house and senate mem
bers can outline a program for the
fulfillment of the party platform.

The most dlsQuieting to the fans Of
the many rumors now flying thick
and fast Is that Thomas w Williams,

club. who controls the EmeryvIlle
race track. where II had been pro
posed to build mammoth arena for

support from the puglllstIc enterprise
and has Informed Rickard that he

Williams refused to do either. saying
that he did not care to discuss the

Another report has II that Rickard
and Gleason are negotiating with the
people at Richmond who provided a
meeting place for tho recent fight
between Ad Wolgast and Battling
Nelson, when the lightweights were
barred from other trans-bny towns.
The possibility Of an enforced
change OF location for the holding OF
the contest has turned the binoculars

that two excellent locations for stag
