this multiple of Ave including several
syndicate offers TO take the whole

! OF course, his popular response to
the war loan is gratifying. 1t certainly
Is not surprising: that the offers OF
subscriptions should be liberal Is a

main points In the trial were: the
alleged illegal voting of Benz. f.
Lamport, Frank Hays and Patrick

ing of Thos. Hays. Nineteen .r
more witnesses were sworn and
testified in the case. On the evi-
dence produced the court decided
that Mr.. Lamport had no right to
vote III the state of Colorado, un-
der the constitution OF the state;
that Frank HAYS and Patrick Bres-
lin were legal voters, and that
Thos. Hays was a legal voter and
prevented from voting by misin-
terpretatlon of the law by the reg
lstry board. The Lamport vote
was thrown out reducing Myers
