Governor George A. Carlson of Colo
RADIO was absent when the roll was
called at the national convention of gov
ernors in Boston. This in spite of the
fact that he had made reservations for
himself and party, expecting to leave
Tuesday morning. But at the last min
ute Lieutenant Governor Moses Lewis
refused TO sit on the job here in Denver
without pay, and George said he couldn't
afford to lose the money, amounting to
about SIS per day. 1t will be recalled
that when the governor was absent in
the. East two months ago. delivering
speeches under auspices OF the National
Anti-Saloon league, the lieutenant gov
ernor put in a claim for the governor :
salary during that period. which was al
lowed by State Auditor Mulnix and paid
by State Treasurer Stocker. George and
Nose had numerous conferences. being
joined occasionally by Attorney General
Farrar. and ii was thought that a truce
had been reached whereby the governor
could attend the Boston meeting. but at
all the work and receive neither glory
nor money. Hence George remains in
Denver while former Governor Alva
Adams and Elias N. Ammons will repre-
sent Colorado mt the national conference
Of governors. This will give George an
opportunity to study the report Of the
United States commission ON industrial
relations covering the Colorado situation.
II might prove worth more to the state
than a iaunt to the metropolis OF beans
and Goldfish.

The happiest bunch Of men and women

the streets one week from next Monday

bles and greet the whole world with a
smile and hearty handshake- On this
occasion empioye and employees meet on
common level. and for one day at
least there are no disputes over wages.

year has not been altogether bad for
the wagc-earners Of Denver. and they
have Jared better than those of many
other industrial communities. II will do
everybody good TO SEE the marchers pass
thru the down town streets dispensing
optimism by their cheerful countenanccs
and splendid demeanor. Denver can well
BE- proud Of this class of her citizenship.
