Swink gains momentum for Colorado governorship
The Enterprise discusses Senator Swink’s rising prospects for the governorship, noting his independence from intra-party squabbles and broad appeal to unite Republican factions for a possible victory. It also covers Denver’s public utility grip, insurance rate hikes linked to San Francisco fire losses, and calls for railroad regulation. Rocky Ford’s water bonds, Arkansas Valley railroad progress, and farm prosperity are also reported, with emphasis on public support and local opposition.
