DEMOCRATS ARE NOT WORRYING ADOUT IT Hearst Party Vote Will Cut Little Fig. ure t But the Socialists Will Have Considerable Following—Prohjbi tionists Are Active. Hearst News Service. Denver, Colo., September 11.—Colo rado Republican politicians are gather ing today in advance of the state con I vention of the party, which will be jheld tomorrow. The Democrats held j their convention in Pueblo earlier In the week, and the political campaign j will soon be on In full blast. Leaders of both parties are exhibit ing a great deal of confidence. Many bitter criticisms have been directed at the Rev. Henry Buchtel since he be came the Republican governor of Colo rado and personalities will likely fig ure largely In the fight. Republican politicians express the conviction that Taft is certain to carry Colorado, but It is admitted that Bryan has many adherents in this state. In 1896 the Nebraskan received the whelming plurality of 134,882. In 1900 the Democratic plurality was 29,661, and in 1904 Roosevelt carried the state by 34,582. There Is no doubt that the personal popularity of the president was largely responsible for the large vote he received. While both Taft and Bryan may have devoted adherents, neither are able to arouse the enthusi asm of the voters as did Roosevelt. Whether Colorado's electoral vote shall be cast for Bryan or Taft is still uncertain, and until the votes are counted next November, Colorado will remain in the ranks of the doubtful states, to be claimed by both sides. The Hearst party will not cut any figure but the Socialists claim to have greatly increased the number of their adherents in the last few years, and the strength of that party may prove a surprise. There is also considerable prohibition sentiment in the state, which Is likely to crystalize Into votes for Chaffin. over Giddy Waltz Called Harvest Dance Festival is Feature of Great Congress.
