It is now considered doubtful If
Governor Ammons will announce for
a second term. He has many times
during the past six months announced
publicly that he will not become a
candidate, and his friends believe he
will stick TO his intentions. However,
certain interests are declaring that he
( fully Intends to ask second term
as yindication of his strike policy.
One thing is quite certain. If he ar
riyes at this conclusion he will be
nominated and elected by larger
plurality than he received at the last
election. This is the belief of some
of the best citizens of Denver and OF
the state. according to information
being received from many sections OF
Colorado.
Naturally the leaders OF the min
ere' union and those who sympathize
with them in this strike trouble, will
be against Governor Ammous. On
the other hand the business inter
ests generally, will give him their
undivided support as they have done
during the past two or three months
OF labor strife. II is conceded that
Governor Ammons has officially act
ed for the best interests of the whole
people of the state In carrying out
his strike policy II has been prop
osition difficult to solve, yet his ac-
tions on the whole have been salts
I factory to the state OF Colorado. de-
spite the fact that miners union has
strenuously opposed practically his
every act in handling the troubles
Governor Ammons, however, has
not definitely announced whether he
intends to become candidate for re-
nomination or not.
The Senator Patterson gubernato-
rial boom in Denver will not down
and his friends are still insisting that
he consent to make the race.
Former Congressman John A.
Martin of Pueblo, too, is being men
toned again in connection with the
race. but nothing definite has been
received from him in Denver which
would indicate that he is to become
a candidate. 1t is known. however
that he is feeling of the public
pulse" in this connection. In Demo
cratic quarters here 1t is thought he
may consent to enter the running II
he discovers the people OF the state
want him to make the race.
OF course State Senator John
Hecker Is an avowed candidate, and
It is said he intends to make the tus-
sic of his life for nomination. Dur
ing the past two months Hecker has
been stumping the southern part oi
the state for the purpose of ascer-
tanning his strength among the la
boring people and It Is said he in
tends to push his candidacy with the
aid of the union labor people. In
Democratic circles here Hecker's can
didacy is considered more of Joke
than a reality, but be this as it may
the senator wants to be governor and
is leaving no stone unturned to Sc
cure the nomination, II 1t be at all
possible.
State Auditor Roady Kenehan
too, Is said to be candidate, al.
though his state house friends de
clare he wants to succeed Secretary
Of State James B. Pearce. Thomas
Dillon. Jr., deputy secretary of state
State Labor Commissioner Brake are
known to be candidates for secreta
ry of state and their friends are now
putting in their best licks for each
