CONGRESSMAN HOGG RENOMINATED
Harmonious And Enthusiastic Convention---Puts Seal of
Approval oa Work of Congressman
From Second District
\ Herschel M. Hogg was renowinated |
\for congressman from the second con-
Slgressional district by the convention
t;;lleld here last Wednesday. Charles
F. Caswell of Mesa county and Clyde
/ C. Dawson of Fremont county were
elected delegates to the Republican
national convention, the alternates
being James M. Downing of Pitkin
county and Percy S. Rider of La Plata
county. The convention was an en-i
thusiastic and harmonious affair and
republicans of both factions are well |
satisfied with the result.
The train which brought Judge Kerr, |
chairman, from Colorado Springs, was
delayed over an hour in Glenwood
canon by a rock slide and the meeting '
was not called to order until after l‘.’i
o’clock. There had been an effort in |
the direction of adjourning the con- |
vention without making any nomina-i
tions on the part of the ‘‘antis,’’ who |
claimed that Mr. Hogg had not treated]
them fairly in the distribution of!
patronage, and that he was too much |
disposed to favor the Wolcutt element. 1
After a long conference with Mr. |
Hogg the matter was amicably ad-|
justed and he agreed that hereafter her
would recognize the county organiza- |
tions and advise with them as to the'
distribution of patronage. The con- |
ference with Mr. Hogg was of a very
agreeable nature and while he .ad
witted that he had probably made
mistakes he said it would henceforth
be his aim to be fair with all and that
he would have regard to the wishes of
the organization whatever faction
night be represented. This was sat
isfactory to those who had been in
clined to oppose Mr. Hogg and they
at once withdrew all objections to his.
re-nomination.
The preliminary skirmish was on
the temporary organization, Samuel
V. Newell of Gilpin county and F.
D. Catlin of Montrose being the can
didates. A vote by counties being
called Newell wvon by 212 to 188. Sec
retaries were elected and the custom
ary committees appointed after which
the convention adjourned for lunch.
Upon re-convening the committee
on resolutions recommended among
other things the appointment of a
committee to nominate a candidate for
congress and to file the proper certifi
cate certifying the nomination of H.
M. Hogg. The resolution was adopted
without opposition.
A ringing resolution favoring Pres
ident Roosevelt was passed amid great
applause. A strong resolution com- |
mending Governor Peabody for hisz
couragecus stand for the enforcement
of law and order, and another endors

THE GLENWOOD POST
|ing in unqualitied terms the good work 1
of Mr. Hogg in congress, were passed
L unaniwmously. !
" At this point J. F. Squire appeared |
on the stage with an easel to the top|
‘of which was fastened a long roll. }
The chairman stated that as Congress- |
man Hogg was occupying the atten- |
‘tion of the andience it was thought a |
fitting time to exhibit the very latest !
i]ikenens of Mr. Hogg drawn by a
‘Glenwood artist. Mr. Squire then
unrolled the paper and exhibited a
‘lnrge picture of a hog with the exact
facial likeness of our congresswman. |
'ln the background of the picture stood |
Uncle Sam gazing approvingly. The
picture was the work of Miss Charlotte |
Miller and Mr. W. H. Jack and pru\'wl;
these people artists of no small ability. |
After the hilarity had subsided F. i
D. Catlin who had been appointed a|
committee to escort Mr. Hogg to the
platform appeared with the congress ‘
man whom he introduced as a splendid
specimen of our western products. i
Mr. Hogg told of his work in con- |
gress and the difficulties under which|
a new man labors, and urged the|
members present to use their ntmust}
effort to bring about not only repub- |
lican harmony, but republican vic- ‘
tory in every county in the state.
Among other things he said, ‘lt is|
pretty near time when the repub]i(-uu:
party should cease to need to fuse with |
itself. We don’'t need any adjectives|
either before or after the word repub
lican. Before we can consistently
enforce the law we must obey the law. |
All of us irrespective of our position
in society, irrespective of Rbe wealth |
we may possess, are entitled to the|
protection of the benign infinunms:
which good government guarantees to
every American citizen.’” Mr. Hogg's |
remarks were received with great|
applause. i
Tne congressional committee from |
this county consists of F. W. Adams|
and Mrs. Mollie Ritter.. [
All of the 44 counties in the second |
district, except Grand, were repre- ‘
sented by delegations. The committee !

sists of W. S. Boynton, W. A. Hag- |
gott, C. C. Parks, F. D. Catlin, J. M. |
Beaman. {
The committee on credentials con- |
sisted of James M. Downing, W. A. |
Haggott, M. Z. Farwell, Frank E.

nery of Hinsdale.
The committee on order of business
aud permanent organization consisted
of W. 8. Boynton, W. H. Duncan, G.
C. Graydon, James Owens and A. R.

Parks. Sowmeone suggested a rising
vote and by this turn Mr. Parkison
lost as his friends held sufficient prox
ies to give him more than a majority
but as they were deprived of usingw’
these, Mr. Parks won by one voté,
the votes being: Parks 19, Parkison,
18. Olie Thorson was made tempo
rary secretary and the convention pro
ceeded to business.
W. S. Parkison nominated A. J.
