Fusion failure and why the silver forces failed
The piece explains why the four party fusion collapsed in Colorado politics. It blames the Democratic party for reneging over governor control, notes Republican fears over leadership by Brush and Adams, and describes populist moves that left the silver populist ticket intact while Democrats and Republicans shelved joint control. The article concludes that Bryan Sewall and the common electors face a go-as-you-please race with internal party divisions.
