Tin: 1 111ST SKIHMISH IN COLO-
KADO.
The first skirmish of the 1912
presidential cmpaign took place in
Colorado Monday. The democratic
state central committee assembled
to select place and date of the
democratic state convention was
controlled by men who support
Governor Harmon of Ohio for
president. The Associated Press re-
ports the Harmon men—fixing the
convention at Colorado Springs
April 21)—outvoted the Wbodrow
Wilson men 01 to 34.
The Associated Press namvs
Mayor Spe<T of Denver as leader of
the Harmon forcer. Governor Shaf-
froth as leader of the Wilson
forces.
Sneer is the nortorlous corrup-
tionist—branded by Hen Lindsay
and others who does the political
dirty work in Denver for the pub-
lic service corporations.
John Shaffroth governor. Is i
clean-handed progressive democrat
and an enemy of corporation rule
in Colorado
Harmon's victory in a state com-
mittee dominated by Speer and the _
corporation: is not surprising.
Here's what the rank and file
democrats of Colorado think about
tho candidates. The Denver News
has just finished a poll of its read-
ers as to their choice for presi-;
dent and it describes the result
this way: Wood row Wilson 3473;
j William Jennings Bryan 21*J».*: j
Champ Clark 1714; Judsoti Har-
mon 436; Joseph W. Folk. 214;
Oscar W. Underwood 191; with:

Apparently the people do not
want Harmon. The action of the

tions allied with Wall street and
similar activity by machine agents
in other states indicates that th>:
