Denver.-At the Democratic state
convention at the Auditorium on
Thursday night, Thomas NJ. Patterson
was designated for governor.
Charles S. Thomas was given the
choice designation of the assembly for
the Democratic candidacy for United
States senator. John A. Martin of
Pueblo also was made a designated
candidate.
A fight was made upon the Colo
RADIO Bar Association candidate for
justice of the Supreme Court, John
Campbell. The result was that James
r. Killian OF Denver, who did not par
ticipate in the bar election, was given
the choice designation OF the assem-
bly,. James H. Teller of Denver was
given the second vote.
George w. Allen, who was charac-
terized as Republican, received just
few votes more than necessary to
entitle him to place upon the ticket.
Those who were directing the as
sembly strove diligently to ignore tho
state administration. But they were
unable to control fourteen members of
the resolutions committee, which re-
turned to the assembly. after many
hours struggle in committee session,
a minority report sustaining the state
administration.
Instantly the contest was on. Pueblo
county led in the denunciation Of the
assembly's attitude Of what they called
"cowardly silence" and refusal "to
meet the real issue in Colorado"
Denver county did not want the mat
ter discussed at all, and finally,
through julius Aichele, succeeded in
placating all factions by offering a
motion to table both the majority re-
port. which did not mention the state
administration, and the minority re-
port, which commended it, and that
the assembly adopt Alva Adams ad-
dress as the sentiment of the assem-
bly,. Adams speech contained no ref
erence to the congressional delegation
nor of the state administration. The
Aichele motion prevailed.
Tht assembly was the first in the
history of politics to have been called
to order by woman. Mrs. Gertrude
A. Lee. acting state chairman, called
the delegates to order with the very
gayel which, years ago fell in the
state Senate to announce the passage
Of the right Of suffrage for women.
The women delegates in the assem-
biz presented Mrs. Lee with a hand
some bouquet Of roses.
The assembly paid tribute to tho
memory of Thomas T. McCua national
committeeman. by standing with
bowed heads for one minute, and by
the adoption of memorial resolutions.
