ROBERT F. ROCKWELL STRONG
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Robert F. Rockwell of Paonia is a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor of Colorado.
Mr. Rockwell was born in Cortland,
N. Y, Feb II, 1886. He attended the
public schools and in 1905 entered
Princetown university. After attend
ance at Princetown he came to Colo
RADIO and located at Paonia, where he
has lived since On his arrival in
Colorado Mr.. Rockwell started in the
farming and cattle business and be-
came a successful farmer-stockman
Starting in small way, by good
Judgment and close attention to bust
ness, he became one of the largest
stockraisers in Western Colorado. He
now owns property in four counties
of the state-Montrose, Gunnison,
Delta and Denver.
His personality was such as to rap
idly gain many friends, and the peo-
pie in his neighborhood soon recog-
nized his ability and fitness for a
Legislative position. He was elected
as representative from Delta county
which position he filled for two
terms with such satisfaction to his
constituents that he was promoted to
the office Of state senator from his
district. This office he filled with
dignity and much ability, and at the
last general election he was made the
candidate for his party for lieutenant
governor. AS an evidence of his popu-
larity and standing with the voters
of the entire state, attention is called
to the fact that although the head of
the ticket was defeated, Mr.. Rockwell
was elected as lieutenant by a hand
some majority.
His record in the legislature and
during his term as lieutenant gov
ernor has been beyond reproach. His
ability and fitness for the highest Of
flee in the commonwealth is apparent
to the party leaders and to the rank
and file. His candidacy is urged by
the common people-the farmers and
stockmen, the miners and laborers-
who feel that in Mr.. Rockwell they
have man who will truly represent
them in the executive department of
the state government. - jefferson

 Indianapolis, Jan. 2S.--The Biennial convention of the United Mine Work CTS of America today accepted without debate the report of its committee on officers reports approving the ac- counting of his administration given yesterday by John l.. Lewis. interna- tional president. This action was in sharp contrast to previous conven- tions in which the presidents report las provoked better debate.
 The committees report was re garded as especially significant In that it concurred with President Lewis expressions on wage demands. He declared in favor of a wage agree ment for term of years, but made no statement favoring an increase in the present scale.
 Vice President Murray, who in his report yesterday condemned certain members of the Pittsburgh district on the ground that they had advocated d reduction in the wage scale then in effect in the district. defended his re- port from the convention floor. He said he wished to correct an erroneous impression that seemed to haVc been speak about that he had included the entire Pittsburgh district membership in his charges.
 He praised the officials of the dis trict and lauded their cooperation, declared that it was only a few who had sought to bring about rcdnc- ton in the wages that his criticism was directed, and that if referred cs- pecially to the siEnnrs of circular calling a mass meeting at Mononga- hela City, Pa.
