DENVER. Col, August Tissues of
national Importance. such as opera
ton of railroads and telegraph and
telephone systems. and state opera
ton of granaries and slaughter
houses. advocated originally in North
Dakota by the Non-Partisan League.
threaten serious, consequences for the
democratic party in this state in the
November election.
Certain democrats. seeking to REIN
force the party so as to make a for
midable showing against republicans
in the election of United States
senator, governor and four repre-
sentatives in Congress. allowed the
designation of James NJ. Collins of
Eaton. chairman of the Colorado
branch of the Non-Partisan League,
in the democratic state assembly, and,
as viewed by republicans, have weak
ened rather than strengthened their
ranks in the race for GOVERNOR.
They believe that this move has
helped the candidacy of Gov. Oliver
H. Shoup. republican. who seeks re-
election, and that the political effect
of this will also be reflected in the
race for United States senator and
representative.
Leaguers May Capture Party.
Instead of making the progressive"
farmers an element representing the
tail of the democratic political kite,
leaders in the party reluctantly admit
that the Non-Partisan Leaguers are
in a fair way to capture the demo-
cratic party and make it the tail to
their own kite in the September prl-
maries.
Robert H. Higgins. former state
treasurer, was also designated as
candidate for governor in the demo-
cratic primaries. Although a conserv-
ative he is inclined to deal with
Justice Tully Scott Of the Colorado
supreme court. candidate for the
democratic senatorial nomlnatlon'
who, in turn, seeks the support OF the
farmers comprising the Non-Partisan
League. There are 10000 farmers IN
the league in this state.
Col. W. c. Banks, another demo,
cratic candidate for the senatorial
nomination, is seeking to form com
bination with certain democrats VINO
are candidates for various state Of
fees, thereby further Completing tne
situation from the viewpoint OF party
| solidarity.
Republicans have thus far Kept the
overseas combination" among canoi-
dates from assuming the serious as
