Have Effect on N0vem.
Der Results.
BY J. b. DAY.


DENVER, Colo, September 17.-Colo-
RADIO was up to its ears in politics last
week, with Statewide primary cleo
tion on Tuesday and visit from Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt on Thursday.
Gov. Roosevelt stayed overnight and
left early Friday for the West with the
promise Of party leaders that they will
deliver" Colorado for him on Novem-
Der 8.
The betting fraternity appears to be-
lieve they will keep that promise, for
odds already are being offered that
Colorado will go against Hoover, but
G. o. P. leaders are confident a sur
prise Is in ctore for the Democrats the
morning after" Republican leaders
feel Roosevelt's visit hurt, rather than
helped, his cause. They enumerate,
among other reasons, his refusal to dis
cuss the silver question or the tariff as
it relates to sugar beets, both Of para
mount Importance TO Colorado, and
what they characterize as his failure to
heal a party breach growing out OF the
primary contest between John T. Bar
nett Of Denver and Alva B. Adams OF
Pueblo for the senatorial nomination,
which was won by Adams.

Barnett supporters are crying fraud
and accusing Senator Edward 2. CoStl-
gan and others of Adams cohorts OF
dirty politics by reason OF the character
of speeches made In the campaign. "A.

campaign in Adams home city, Pueblo;
made open charges OF vote buying ana
announced the day after the primary
that, regardless of Barnett'S wishes, ne
will 90 to the United States Senate for
redress In the event Adams Is elected
in November. Unless the wounds lett
by the primary are healed they are very
liable to have serious erect on the
party's chances OF success.
Barnett was beaten by approximately
5 900 votes in a total poll OF more than
Karl c. Schuyler of Denver won the
Renuhlican senatorial nomination over
Nate C. Warren of Fort Collins by close
to 10000 votes.

the primary was the apparent de1eat OF
Charles B. Tmberlake Of Sterling. Vet-
eran Representative from the second dis
trict, for the nomination to succeeo
himself Unofficial returns gave tne
nomination to George H. Bradneld OF
