opposed by Republicans of this coun-
ty. Aside from this opposition there
is general feeling that Taft is en-
titled to second term, not because
of established precedent, but on the
conviction that Taft has proved eff
cient and honest and represents the
interests Of Colorado. .Chaffee county
is solid for Taft and can't even see
look-in for Roosevelt"
TRINIDAD, Colo, Feb. 27.-Judge
Henry Hunter, discussing the presi-
Dental preference sentiment of Las
Animas county, declared that the fee
bic response to a recent effort to or
ganize Las Animas County Roose-
welt club presages solid Taft dele
cation to the state convention at Colo
RADIO Springs. He saidd:
"To me it is apparent that Taft will
overwhelmingly carry Las Animas
county for the state convention. Not
only on every mind is a strong pref
erence expressed for Taft's renomina-
ton, but the recent attempt to or
ganize Roosevelt club in this county
showed the latter's support to be SO
light as to be almost ludicrous. Six
persons attended the meeting, includ-
ing Dr. John Grass of Denver, who
essayed the role of organizer. There
is strong feeling in Las Animas
county that Taft is entitled to sec
ond term and an equally strong oppo-
sition to the third term aspirations of
Teddy"
RED CLIFF, ColoA Feb. 26.-Judge
Charles Cavender of Leadville, after
reading the announcement of Roose-
velt's candidacy tonight, said:
For my own part | am strong for
Taft and / believe that Lake county
favors the present chief executive for
second term. He is entitled to that
consideration by virtue of capable
and honest administration. He rep
resents Colorado's interests and l am
firm in my belief that he will unani-
mously carry the state"
BOULDER, Colo, Feb. 26.-Con-
cerning the comparative strength of
Taft and Roosevelt in Boulder county,
j. V. Sickman said tonight:
Roosevelt supporters in Boulder
county are few. There are several
reasons for this. The third term as
pirations of Roosevelt conflict with
precedent and are opposed by even
the staunchest admirers of the for
mer president. But there are deep
er reasons than this for the opposition
to Roosevelt in Boulder county and .
majority support of Taft. Consensus
of opinion here favors the fair, impair.
tial and efficient administration Of
Taft and his progressiveness, coin
cidental with the best interests of Col
orado. He is entitled to second tern
and believe he will carry vast ma.
jority of Boulder county delegates
to the state convention"
PUEBLO, Colo, Feb. 27-J. A
Roof said tonight:
'In my judgment, Pueblo courty
delegates to the Colorado Springs con.
vention will be unanimous for Taft
There is a noticeable Roosevelt agi
-ation, admit, but believe the coun
ty as whole unqualifiedly favor;
Taft for renomiation. A strong feel
ing is expressed against the t.irt
term ambition of Roosevelt, strength
ening the precedent of giving Taft, s
second term.
WALSENBURG, Colo, Feb. 81
j. B. Farr, summing up the Republic
an presidential preference situation il
Huerfano county, said tonight:
'There is an unquestionable feeling
in this county that Taft is entitled
to second term, as matter of prece.
dence and because he has given the
United States an honest, efficient ant
reasonably conservative administra.
ton. Thera is 4 strong opposition tc
the third term proposition and Roose.
velt's support in Huerfano county is
so light that Taft will be the unani.
nous selection at the state conven.
ton"
