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
eHtitle him to place upon the ticket
Those who were directing the as
sembly strovo diligently to ignore the
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 a woman. Mrs Gertrude
A. Lee. acting state chairman. called
the delegates to order with the very
gavel 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-
blv presented Mrs. Lee with a hand
some bouquet Of roses.
The assembly paid tribute to the
memory of Thomas McCua nation n l
committeeman. by standing with
bowed heads for one minute. and by
the adoption of memorial resolutions.

Armour & Co. Take Over 5000, 900
Bushels of Grain in Open Trades
New York Exchange Closes.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-Armour's millions
Friday rescued the wheat trade from
panic. Instead of chaos resulting from
settlement in the midst OF war
market. with possibly scores OF firms
embarrassed and a virtual certainty
that bankruptcies. few or many, would
ensue, the Chicago board OF trade was
enabled to maintain the record OF
never having closed, no matter how
great the emergency, and last night
not failure. big or little, had taken
place.
The chief reason was that seventy
five entangled firms and individuals
on the exchange were freely given by
Armour & Co. whatever aid the ne
cessities of the situation required.
Before nightfall Armour & Co. had
taken over 100000 bushels OF open
trades, which, IL not transferred. we're
critically in danger OF not being safely
settled in due contract time, the ex-
piration Of business hours at the end
of the month
In addition to the relief extended di-
rectly. President Marcy ordered the
sale of 100000 bushels of wheat in
the open market, and was thus largely
instrumental In preventing Chicago
prices from paralleling the wild up
ward sweep that In Liverpool came
ahead of steep subsequent fall.
New York.-The complex marhin-
cry of the securities markets OF the
world came to a halt Friday for an
indefinite period. an occurrence unpre.
cedented In history. With all Europe
on the verge Of war and the conti-
mental exchanges closed several days
ago. with the London market follow
ing suit, the New York Stock Ex-
change would have been called on to
bear the weight of the worlds finan-
cial burdens.
