The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1912-01-18

At convention that is said to have
been one of the greatest ever held in
this country by good roads enthus-
lasts, the New Santa Fe Trail and the
Rainbow Route, running across the
state almost as "the crow flies" was
ndorsed yesterday as the Colorado
link O fthe transcontinental highway.
The victory for southern Colorado

A Pueblo man. Robert H. Higgins,
Of the board of county commissioners

Geod Roads association for the ensu-

Disgruntled and smarting over q
defeat that was neatly administered
despite the strategy that could be
summoned, the Denver delegation i'm
mediately left the convention when
they saw they were beaten and they
we're followed by delegates from some
other northern counties. The van
snished forces met at the Congress
hotel during the noon hour and at

Greater Colorado Highway associa-
ton" All that was accomplished was
lions denouncing the Pueblo conven-
Hon.
There is a possibility that the north
srn county delegates will not with
draw from the state association but
they may form a smaller organization
m their own section to promote their
swn. interests. A similar organiza-
tion is suggested for the western
slope in order that the section of the
state on the other side of the range
can work out its road problems to
better advantage.
Southern Colorado, having held the
whip hand, has no desire to Withdraw

successful meeting in this city.
The real happenings OF the big con-
vention took place yesterday morning
when 1t was seen that the inevitable,
could not be STAYED off, and that the
southern part of the state was going
to have the highway that is most
nearly completed of all those pro-
posed endorsed by the convention as
Colorados choice as this states link

Then followed debate that lasted
for more than an hour, with many
speeches being made on both sides.

Unable to Agree.

The disgruntled delegates who had
been beaten on the floor OF the con-
vention could not even get along har-
moniously together. Some favored
the organization of state association
to have functions similar to the or
ganization from which they pretend
ed to desire a divorce. while others
insisted that the new association
sholld be merely branch OF the Col
orado Good Roads association.
Among those who spoke against the
forming of a state association and
breaking away from the mother or
ganization were Graham of Clear
Greek. Higan of Lake, Daniels of Den
yer, Weld OF Boulder. Munsen OF Lar
inner. Schafer of Morgan. Link OF
Park. Burke OF Kit Carson, Edgell o.
Weld. Some speakers remarked that
they had been beaten and might as
well take their medicine.
A bitter speech in favor Of break
ing off entirely from the older orga
nization was made by Bonney O
