Democratic State Convention in Pueblo Fights Over Nominations
The Democratic state convention in Pueblo remains in session amid a fierce battle between Patterson and Speer factions. Speer allies won seating of Denver county delegates and backed Charles J. Hughes for the U S Senate, while peace talks continue with no clear result as Republican primaries unfold county wide. In La Jara precinct, Luther A. Norland and Clifton H. Wilder were elected unopposed.
