~ Pueblo.-The issue placed before The
Democratic state assembly at Pueblo
by both speakers and candidates was
the reputation Of corporate, influence
o. 1t arose in connection with the seat
ing of the regular Denver delegation
over the protest. OF the Arnold Patter-
son faction and was perpetuated as
an Issue in the primaries by the with
dra@aii OF Thomas lyman, warden of
the State lpenitentiary, from the race
for the assC .nbly nomination for gov
ernor on the ground that the body had
contravened national progressive prin-
ciplcs.
. All day the question was impressed
upon the gathering until, at nearly 6
O'clock, a row came when the reg
ular Denver machine delegation was
seated by a sweeping vote. Again the
subject was foremost at night with
Tynan's actions and as result, at a
quarter of an hour after midnight the
body had not finished its business. and
was forced to adjourn untii morning.
Two candidates for the long term
for the United States senatorship
were named. former Governor Alva
Adams and John +! Shafroth; -oneefor
the short term, c. S. Thomas.
20 For governor. Joseph, Maupin of
Canon, City. f. NJ. Ammons. of Grand
county and Stephen Fitzgarrald were
nominated.
For Justices or the Supreme Court
John r. Dixon of Denver, -Tuliy Scott
of Cripple@Creek and r. X Dickerson
of Delta were. selected. rf Il .isT1 g
Thomas-Jy- o,Dennoll-o Denver was
not namedg as a United States senate
rial candidate. nor VAS B. C. Hilliard
of Denver. ..- ..s -,.,-.--.,
O'Donnell's name was not placed be-
fore the assembly. but in the evening
he induced the body to take an action
which many believe TO be repudia-
ton of it's stand during the dag.
He presented resolution binding
all candidates nominated by the as
sembly to vote for. an amendment of
its primary law, which would do away
with the assembly feature. This was
passed. and 1t is felt by many to be
acquiescence by the body itself TO the
charge that the assembly action does
not represent pany, sentiment.
BY 10 o'clock the hour for the con
vening of-the- assembly, half of the
seatssonl the floor were still unoccu1
pied.i But tbS,iQ;3o o'clock, almost all
members of the Assembly were pres
ent and Chairman Bradley. OF. the state
central committee called the body to
order. a.
