N n UNICIPAb politics in Denver
Nu promise to be sizzling hot with
in a few weeks. Petitions are
now circulating, under author
ity of the Denver Charter League, to re-
woke the commission form OF govern
ment and re-establish the mayor and
aldermanic plan, with the mayor as
city ear. Changes of the charter neces-
sary to this end are Incorporated in the
petitions and new amendments. Those
in charge of the campaign assert that
10000 signatures, 5000 more than nee
essary to call special election for this
purpose, will be ready to file with the
City Council next week. 1t is then in
cumbent upon the Council to fix date
for an election in from thirty to sixty
days thereafter. Should this carry, an
other election for mayor, treasurer, as
SCISSOR and nine aldermen must follow
not later than forty days. J. T. Clapp,
in charge of the leagues headquarters
in the Foster building, has force of
canvassers at work, and is paying 5
cents per name for signatures to the Pc
titions. Opponents of this program also
are getting busy. A meeting of several
business men was held this week, and
it was decided that in event the Charter
League secures sufficient signatures to
call an election, they would start petit
tion calling for a charter convention, to
be submitted and voted upon at the same
time. 1t is understood this latter plan
will be endorsed by the city and county
officials, and have the backing of the
Republican state administration. Two
OF the present city commissioners are
Republicans and three are Democrats.
Friends of former Mayor Robert Speer
also are talking of placing u petition in

and selecting other city officials as well
as designate board of aldermen. 1t is
generally believed Speer will be candi

stated that n good market for the prod
