Denver. Feb. 7.-Joel Grantham.

nation as a member of the industrial
commission. is in Denver looking af-
ter his own interests in the fight. He
was in the senate chamber today get
ting acquainted with. the members of
the senate and looking after his own
chances for confirmation. Mr.. Gran
than takes the fight that is being
made against him purely as pol;ti-
cal measure and says that so far .,s
re is concerned he does not consider
il personal. He thinks that the ap-
pointment of himself and Mr.. Burns
brought on the fight and he is will
ing TO take his chances in the at
tempts to confirm both men.
The Democratic members OF the
senate held caucus on the matter
Monday afternoon but failed to reach
any agreement. When il was over
some of the members of the caucus
said that Grantham might be confirm
ed but Burns never would be. Re.
publican members are still hanging
10 the position against all of the gov.
ernor's appointees until he recog-
nizes Republicans as minority mem
bers of commissions and boards.

SIX APPOINTEES OF GOVERNOR
LIKELY TO Be TURNED DOWN

Denver. Feb. 6-The republicans OF
the senate Monday unanimously
agreed not to vote to confirm the
appointments made by Governor Gun.
ter TO either the Industrial relations
commission or to the board of cor
rections. In declinig to support the
six persons nominated for these two
boards. the Republicans take the posi-
ton, first: that Governor Gunter fail
ed to recognize the Republican party:
and second: that there is SO much op-
position to the most OF the appoint
ments In the Democratic ranks that
the Republicans win not support the
membership Of either commission.
Senator Candlish joins with the 9TH
er sixteen Republicans in this decla-
ration and a committee has been APP
pointed to act as a steering commit
tee for the Republicans in the mat
ter.
A majority of those present and vot-
ing can confirm. but II the seventeen
Republicans are present and voting
the Democrats would have to send for
Senator Hamilton In order to poll
eighteen votes. as the lieutenant gov
ernor cannot vote To confirm.
Again the Democrats arc not all
united for the confirmation. 1t de-

veloped in their caucus that seven
Democrats were opposed 10 certain
of the nominations and that some of
the Democrats declared they would
never support them. The principal op-
position is 10 Burns and Grantham on
the board of the Industrial Commits
sion. II is very doubtful IL either Of
these two will be confirmed. and so
long as the Republicans hold out the
board OF corrections consisting of
Judge Shackleford of Gunnison. Mrs.
Helen Grepfel OF Denver and F. S
Hoag OF Pueblo will also fail to be con
firmed.
The fight over the confirmation of
the three men who were appointed
on the industrial relation commits
sion by Governor Gunter started in
earnest Monday morning. When the
senate members reached the capitol
they found themselves deluged with
letters. telegrams and resolutions
protesting and urging confirmation.
Saturday, the dry forces of the state
sent kilograms and messages to their
friends calling attention to the fact
that Wayne Williams dry Democrat.

The point want you to get is this-when there is
Big News we get it and hand it to you the day it
happens-not the day after. We spend lot of money
to do this.
Many days in the year the paper may be light on

have war declared or Lusitania sunk every day We
couldn't stand the expense. if the world could
The Daily Record is not big sensational
as the big city paper. But every line in The Daily
Record is news of vital importance to Canon City
folks. And we believe that day in and day out you
will read and be interested in columns of news
in The Daily Record than in any other daily paper
you take.
And honestly isn't it worth all it costs you-only
so cts. month-to have such live little daily paper
IN your town?
Isn't it worth all it costs to know that whatever
happens Big in the world today will told to you in
The Daily Record tonight?
And isn't it worth all it know that every
night you can read in The Daily Record everything
