Denver, Nov. 6.-The indications at $3.50
O'Clock are that Mcintyre, Rep.), for
governor. will have 1900 to 10000 major
ity over Waite, Pop).
The Tinles-Sun claims that the major
ity in this (Arapahoe) county will be
10000, and that the remainder of the
state will give a Republican majority of
5000. Waite has run behind his ticket
many thousands, but has undoubtedly
carried the entire ticket down to defeat
with him. If the Republicans have 900
majority on the head OF their state tick
ct they will undoubtedly control the leg
islature and re-elect Senator Wolcott.
Pence, PopD is beaten by Shafrath
(Rep), for Congress in the First dis
trict.
Bell Pop) may defeat Brown in the
Second district, but his majority of L, 900
two years ago will be greatly reduced.
Dispatches from all parts of the state
say that very full vote was polled and
in the cities fully as many women voted
as men. The polls did not close until z
o'clock, and it viii be very late before
any definite figures are received.
In Denver and suburbs. about s. per
Women worked earnestly at the polls all
day for the success of the Republican
ticket, and the result is largely due to
their efforts.
All day long the private carriages of
the Capitol Hill society leaders have
been carrying women to the polls. In
many cases, the ladies owning the turn
outs went with them to urge the voters
to make use of their franchise. Through
the excellence of their organization the
committee women are far more thor
oughly informed as to the political pre-
ferenceS of the women in their districts
than are the men regarding their sex,
but no doubtful voter was neglected.
Among the women who have taken an
active. part in the campaign and who
have been prominent among the work
ers today may be named: Mrs. Sue M.
Hall, wife of the well known Colorado
historian; Mrs. Frank Hall, at present
city treasurer Of Denver; Mrs. David H.
Moffat, wife Of the president of the
First National, and one of the most ex-
tensive mine owners in the state. and
Mrs. Routt, wife of Ex-Governor Routt.
Their homes have been repeatedly thrown
open for the reception of candidates dur
ing the campaign, while their personal
advices were given freely to the work of
spreading campaign argument and today
were devoted to increasing the vote for
their favored candidates.
The society ladies are not, however, the
only ones who were in evidence at the
polls today. Thrifty housewives have left
their fresides today to use their infiu-
ence in bringing their less enthusiastic
sisters to the polls and in urging upon
them the important issues of the cleo
ton from their point of view. They
represent all parties, the greater num-
Der advocating the candidates of the two
prominent parties.

Denver, Nov. 6.-Republicans at mid
night claim the election of Mcintyre
for governor by 10000 plurality The
Populists do not concede the defeat of
Waite, although they admit that this
(Arapa7noe county, will give a Repub-
lican majority of $500 on the head of
the state ticket. Chairman Fred Will
liams, of the Republican county COM
mittee, claims a majority of $1,000 in
this county. The governor still processes
to be confident that he will be re-elect-
ed by about $4,000 plurality. The re-
turns so far received, however, seem
to indicate that he will be beaten even
in the state outside of Denver. Many
leading Democrats worked earnestly
for the Republican ticket, and the vote
for Thomas, Democrat, for governor,
will probably not exceed $4,000.
The composition of the next legisla-
ture is not known. but the indications
are that it will be Republican, in which
event Senator Wolcott will probably be
reelected.
Congressman Pence is undoubtedly
beaten in the First district by Shafroth,
Republican. The Second district is in
doubt, with the chances favoring Bell,
Popuiist.
Complete returns are not yet in from

of the straight votes, which was first
made, indicates an overwhelming Re

finished in some precincts until day.

probably be nearly $4,000
