IN THE AUDITORIUM.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Denver auditorium. Every county in
the state was represented and 902
delegates were accredited.
1t was clearly shown that almost
anybody of good character may be en-.
rolled as a candidate on any political
ticket to be voted on at the primary
election which will be held September
10th
The only near approach to any ex
citemeEt in the convention occurred
just before nominations for governor
were declared in order.
A. NJ. Stevenson urged that n re.
cess of thirty minutes be taken. It
required a roll call before the motion
was carried. the impression being gen.
eral that the motion was directed
against the candidacy of Halsted l..
Ritter.
In the interim several of the organ.
ization men attempted to get Mr.. Rit-
ter to withdraw and, in order to make
sure of their stand. they prevailed
upon Benjamin Ritter, n cousin of the
Denver attorney, to make the race,
but he refused.
After reconyening Halsted l.. Ritter
received sufficient votes to be placed
on the primary ticket next September
The only other spirited contest was
that on the nominations of Benjamin
c. Catron OF Clear Creek and E. f.
Van Noy of Morgan county for state
auditor. Respective delegations
cheered when votes were east foi
their candidates. and It was necessary
for the chairman to call for order con
tinually.
The selection OF candidates for the
primary ticket for congressman at
large resulted in naming four mon
only two OF whom can be elected al

quired that committee be appointed

ticket may be complete.
