Denver Is Ready for Anarchists
(Special Dispatch to The Herald.)
DENVER, Sept. 8.—Colonel Neil Denison, president
of the Ohio society [sic] and a personal friend of President McKinley, is on
the lookout for anarchists in Denver. The colonel has organized a vigilance
committee with himself at the head, named a sheriff and other officers, whose
names are not made public. The leading members of the committee will be present
at any meeting which may be held where anarchistic sentiments may be expressed.
“If any speaker says he is glad the president
was shot I would not give 5 cents for that man’s life,” says Colonel Denison.
“We are prepared to clean out the anarchists of this city, and we will do it
in broad daylight. I will appear as public prosecutor and if two citizens of
repute declare that a man has uttered anarchistic sentiments that anarchist
will die. We are organized and ready for action.”
