The Special Ballot.

At the election last Tuesday special
ballot upon which were two questions
was submitted to the voters. Only about
half the voters of the state voted the
special ballot. We believe only minor
Ivy understood both questions upon the
ballot. The two questions were separate
and distinct, but 1t seems many thought
they were in some way connected.
The first one was "Shall there be a
convention to revise the constitution and
amend the same?" This is required by
the constitution itself to be submitted
each tenth year. No one publicly asked
for this to pass. Many thought if they
voted for the amendment which was on
the same ballot that they should also
vote for the convention. The conven.
ton proposition seems to have carrie
by about 1000 votes.
The other question was whether the
constitution should be amended to pro-
vide for biennial elections. This
proposition seems to have carried by
about $4,000 majority. In the amend
ment it provides that those officers, state,
county and township, whose terms ex-
pire in 1901 shall hold over until the
following year. 1t was intended by the
legislature and by the voters that this
meant that class of voters of which the
governor and the state treasurer in state
and the treasurer, sheriff and superin-
tendent in county, form a part. They
were elected in SO and it is generally
regarded that their terms expire in 1901.
1t is now commended that their terms do
not really end till the first Monday in
January 1902, and that that provision
will have to De applied to the other
class going out the first Monday in next
January. This would put a construction
upon it not intended. This lengthening
of terms was intended to apply to those
officers whose terms would expire next
fall when there would be no election.
1t is thought the attorney general can
find some legal way to avoid this tech
nicality or error, if it is one. IL the
strict construction has to be followed
and if the courts hold the term does not
end December 31st, but the first Monday
in January following, one other way out
suggested is for these officials to resign
and let the newly elected officers be ap-
pointed. One difficulty about this is
that some such officers might not resign.
The county offices affected by this in
depreciation are auditor, clerk, recorder,
attorney and member Of the board. In
this county as we reelected auditor and
member of the board it would only leave
clerk, recorder and attorney, and it is
not thought that there is any one of
them but who is willing to acceed to the
wishes of the people as expressed at the
Dolls

The condition of Mrs. Joseph John
ston at this writing is about the same

Anna French is fitting herself for

In the election last week the repub-
licans cast nienty-four straight votes
while the democrats cast thirty-six.
Considering the scratched vote the re-
publicans elected the township ticket
by about fifty majority. There was
little interest in the amendment as was
shown by the fact that many of the
ballots were not marked in any way.

9th a "Mock Congress" will be the

will try their hand at framing law for

lady will endeavor to represent the pre-
vailing spirit of her state or district, and
there will probably be veritable "con-

Loveland, Colorado,
October, 20, 1900.


To the Editor of the REPUBLICAN:
l find that l have few minutes on
my hands now to spare, and believe
that a short letter from me might be
acceptable to your readers-if not to
you. So here goes. Loveland, where
L am now briefly stopping, is in
Larimer county, county which
touches Wyoming on the uorth-and is
fourteen miles south of Fort Collins,
the county seat. 1t seems to me that
l have never seen any more progressive
place than this little town of 1900
population-and everything about the
town looks as il the owners were getting
along nicely. For half dozen miles
in all directions there are to be seen
new buildings, where large tracts of
land have been cut into five acre and
ten acre tracts for new corners, and
where orchards and berry tracts are
being put in for business purposes.
Berries and fruit now prove source
of great income for the small gardner
and the new residents-while the
winter feeding of lambs gives work for
many and interests thousands of dollars
of the capitalists. There are now more
than 100000 lambs being fed in this
locality; so your readers can form some
sort of an idea as to the amount of
money it means to the farmer for his
labor, feed and profit. The lambs are
brought here in September, October
and November from Wyoming or from
New Mexico, fattened on the fine
alfalfa which is most wonderful thing
and in the spring they are shipped to
eastern points in long train loads. A
large profit was made last year by all
who went into the business, and the
prospects for this coming winter are
good.
1 could go on and tell you great
deal about the country, all to its
advantage; could tell of the fine
climate, the fine and plenteous supply
of water, and the perfect irrigation
system which abounds in this county;
of how H. S. Foulk, who left our COM
munity some two years ago and settled
in Fort Collins is doing as / met him a
few days ago. In fact, there are at
least thousand things could tell of
if had the time, but / do not desire
to fill the whole paper-even for one
week. If have the time will let you
have another letter before / return.
Yours very truly,
G. A. w. CoLEE. H
