CARLSON MAKES ADO ABOUT NOTHING


recent Pueblo speech that the propretors of certain
Denver newspaper demanded of the state adminstra-
ton the appointment of Mike Delaney to the office of
labor commissioner, thus giving out the impression that
the Governor is entitled to credit for refusing such de-
mand AS the secretary of state controls this appoint
ment, where how does Carlson into credit for
such refusal?
Silly Twaddle About Hoggatt
Carlson equally unfortunate in his comments

Land Board because Mr.. Hoggatt not such board

should have explained how Hoggat could have carried
out this alleged plan without the consent of the other
and Engineer John B. Fields.
The same thing is true as to Hoggatt's alleged in

Carlson also asks "Why did they (meanng the

We are constrained to suggest if his statements
