ono and number OF lively speeches were
made. We have not the space this week

niderablc spice to tho subject next week.
The Pueblo delegation asked for the en-.
dorsemcnt OF the resolutions printed in
Inst weeks Enterprise. The view of the
Rocky Ford people was that Pueblo WINS
aoncecding nothing in supporting the
Twin Lakes reservoir, and that demand
ing support for the state canal was ask
ing is to MD wholly impracticable and
thoroughly unbusincsslike proposition.
"A somcwhnt indefinite resolution was
adopted shying that 1t was the sense Of
the meeting that the Legislators OF the
whole valley should work together for
both propositions, but the vote was not
hearty ono. Tho conference really nc.
romplished nothing. While it would be
extending aid and sympathy to an un-
worthy project we are OF the opinion that
it might be policy 10 assist the Pueblo

The Contest for The senetorship.

The Contest for tie SenatGrship.
A few days since Senator Swnk was
served with formidable legal document
containing many far-fetched reasons why
he should give up his sent in the senate
to G M. Dameron. Mr.. Dameron al
leges number of improbable, impossi-
BILE and ridiculous things in relation to
the election. He says that the count
was incorrect, imperfect and illegal, n
large number of votes being counted for
Swink that were cast for Dameron and
Cooper. He says that VIM. Green
served ms judge in precinct when he
was not resident of the precinct; that
the registration boards in precincts 3 and
4 did n number Of unlawful acts, and that
in Rocky Ford 100 ballots were counted
for Swink which had cross opposite the
emblem of either tho Democratic or Re-
publican parties. He also alleges that
Bloom Dye Judge in Rocky Ford
worked for Swink at the polls, and that
Henry NJ. Fosdick, Jr.. another judge at
Fowler, did the same thing. The most
that the returns from the Rocky Ford
precincts were held by tho judges until
the day following the election so rs to
return n plurality that would elect Swink.
The only true statement made by Mr..
Dameron in his long legal paper is the
allegation in relation to VIM. Green
serving MS judge in precinct where he
did not then reside. Mr.. Green had al
why's lived in the precinct before the
election and lives there now, but on elec-
ton day his home was temporarily on
the south side of tho Santa Fe track
But Mr.. Dameron's success was in nc
way preiudiced by Mr.. Green's serving
ON the election board.
Both Mr.. Dnmcron and Mr.. Wood
seem to have alleged whatever was
deemed necessary to establish contest
regardless Of the facts. The charge that
100 votes were counted wrongfully for
Swink is without the slightest founda.
tion. In two or three cases where voters
had by their markings voted twice fol
senator the ballots were thrown out. In
this way Swink lost more thnn he gained
The charge that B. U. Dye. judge
worked for Swink ut the polls is wholly
untrue. He attended closely to his duty
ms judge, and had neither time nor in.
ciination to clectioncor for anybody. He
did not mention Swink's name to n voter
on election day.
Horny Fost!ick says that the charge
that hc worked ut the polls is double.
breasted lio-or words equally us EN-
phatic.
The intimntion that the returns were
kept back that they might BIZ fraudu-

most idiotic in its foolishness. The mak.
