Here Is a Jolt

According to a Denver paper Hon.
Alma Lafferty shouted: "Women of
Denver, to arms! Go before the gov
ernor with your womanhood." What
Alma was after was the stoppage of
the flow of blood she had been read
ing about but just why so gallant an
old girl should want to go before Gov.
"Fitz" taking her womanhood with
her is not plain. That is not the
most practical way of going to arms.
"Fitz" is a decent married man. The
News also says: Mothers with ba-
bies at their breasts" will go before
Governor Ammons. Governor Am
mons is as nearly blind physically as
any man ever was and yet saw. He
might be able to note the general
outlines of a person standing near
him but would not be able afterwards
to tell which breast was the foun-
tain. And Dora Phelps Buell., per-
petual clerk under democratic ad-
ministrations, was there with the
resolutions of these thousand wom-
en- of Denver, led by George Creel,
most lovely of the sex, are to pre-
sent to whichever of Colorado's gov
ernors they find first. They demand
ed federal intervention, withdrawal
of the state troops and that the gov
ernor Zone or more of them) seize
the coal mines and set them in oper-
alton forthwith and p. d. q. The dem
ocratic, republican and progressive
female officeholders' union which did
all this fairly filled the house Of rep
resentatives chamber in the state
capital yesterday. Alma presiding
and Dora and George Creel shouting.
They will spend today trying to find
q Denver woman with a babe at her
breast who is not engaged in bridge
and will take her and George Creel
before the governor tomorrow. But
where. o where. is Bennie Lindsey
Maybe he has a babe at his breast

Automobile Sociability Run
More than one hundred of the
principal towns of Colorado, New
Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Kan
sas are included in the itinerary of
the automobile sociability run, the
final schedule for which has just been
adopted. The trip will cover $500
miles and is believed to be the long
est automobile tour ever planned and
carried out by commercial organiza-
tions.
Early on the morning of Monday,
May 4th, automobiles will start sim
ultaneously from the Garden of the
Gods near Colorado Springs, and the
Royal gorge at Canon City, meeting
at Pueblo, where they will join not
only the Pueblo contingent, but Gov
Ammons and members of the State
Highway Commission. Continuing
southwark along the Colorado-to-the-
Gulf Highway, the party will come
to Trinidad where the last detachment
will be waiting. On the top of Ration
Pass, the highest point on the tour,
Governor Ammons will shake hands
with Governor w. C. Mcdonald, of
New Mexico and the two governors
will escort the calvacade to Ration.
The party will be made up of rep
resentative business men of Pueblo,
Trinidad, Canon City, Manitou and
Colorado Springs, Colorado, and its
mission is to call upon the various
communities in Texas, Oklahoma and
Kansas in a social way, to encourage
the development of the great high
ways from the southwest leading to
Colorado, and to carry greetings from
"the top of the world" to the Gulf of
Mexico. The Colorado party will
number 40. They will come back
home via Wichita, Kansas, and on the
return trip will be in Lamar on May
