Denver. Colo, July 31.-The
Democratic state assembly hcaped
insult after insult upon Governor
Ammons and family in its attempt to
avoid adopting resolution by Miles
Saunders of Pueblo as minority re.
port from the resolutions committee.
the assembly not only tabled the
resolution declaring for law and Or
der. but also tabled a resolution in
dorsins the Wilson administration
and the Colorado delegation in con-
| gress. Be 1t said to the credit of the
assembly that it did not exactly in
tend to refuse to indorsc the Wilson
administration but in its mad desire
to refrain from indorsinS law and or

placed there appeared no picture OF
the governor although the pictures
of other leading Democrats of the

Chairman Hicks when he accepted

of Governor Ammons' name, Mr.
Saunders was greeted with boots
catcalls and Kisses, and moment
later when some delegate declared
that instead of declaring for law ant
order the assembly should adopt tkt
resolution condemning Governor Am
mons another wave of apDlaus.
swept through the convention.
While there was no direct vot.
there was every appearance that TIL,
Pueblo delegation was the only dele
cation that stood solid for law ant
order.
The fight came up over two re
ports from the resolutions commit
