House Passes Statehood Bill Without
Division,

Washington. May 1O.-The opposition
in the House to the bill for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma. Arizona and New
Mexico collapsed at the last minute yes
tcrday, and the bill was passed with
out division rs 1t came from tine com
mittee, except for II few verbal amend
ments. The real test came on IN
amendment offered by Mr.. Overstrect
of Indiana to join New Mexico and
Arizona, and admit them as the state
of Montezuma. 1t was beaten, Is 10
1O6. and all opposition then ceased.
The closing scenes of the debate We're
accompanied by II dramatic incident.
Delegate Mark A. Smith of AriZonl
who has been lighting for the admis-
sion of his territory for n dozen years,
had just made vigorous speech
against the Overstreet amendment.
when he was seized with IL rush of
blood to the head. He was conveyed 10
the lobby . where several physicians
who are members of the House by the
prompt administration of powerful
heart stimulants saved him from IL
stroke of npopleXy. He later rallied
and was removed to his hotel.
The bill as passed yesterday provides
enabling acts for Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico similar in form to
former enabling acts, with the excep-
tloh tnat the constitutional convention
of New Mexico is empowered to deSiy-
nate the name by which the new state
shall enter the Union. and in the case
of oklahoma the convention by ire
vocable ordinance shall express the
consent of that state that Congress mt
any future time may attach all or any
part of the Indian Territory to it, The
enabling acts differ from one another
chiefly in reference to the public lands
appropriated for educational and public
purposes.

AN EXHIBIT OF CORRUPTION.

The Denver Republican has an ex-
seen by every decent voter in this
state regardless of his or her politics
1t is a facsimile of the election returns
made by the judges in one of the no.
torious districts, precinct of District
H. In this precinct the judges return
ed 545 ballots, of which 10 were
straight Republican. and 535 straight
10 condemn the tally sheet as being
worthless. for it contains more votes
than there are voters in the entire pre-
met, and approaches closely to the
total number of residents. including
infants invalids and children. But
where outside of Denver is there a
precinct in which but 10 votes were
parties where 535 votes were cast for
The other? Who ever heard of a pre-
rinct in which every vote cast was
straight ballot? Whoever heard of
precinct as large as this in which
here were no votes cast by Prohibi-
tionists, Socialists, Populists or other
minor parties?
But that is the way these corrupt
minions of the Democratic machine in
Arapahoe county rendered it Just
10 votes for each Republican candi-
late and just 535 votes for each Demo
cratic candidate. Nothing could more
clearly indicate the rottenness OF the
Arapahoe election than an exhibit OF
this sort. The entire precinct should
he thrown out, for the returns. made
as they were without evening the bal
lots are absolutely worthless and
should not be considered The time
has not yet come when the people OF
his state will tolerate such open bare
aced debauchery of the ballot-Den-

ognized dishonesty at the polls. If
our erstwhile friend. Senator Teller,
wants justice to prevail, why doesn't
he demand an nvestigation-ask that
both sides look into the election and
oust bogus ballots? Surely Senator
Teller does not want to end his last
official days through the grace of re
peaters and thugs stuffing ballot box
es? If he does. then It is well to
have someone else represent us. We
say investigate-both sides, and if
enough honest votes were cast to re
turn Senator Teller. then we say do
so. Let Senator Teller be returned
with clean hands, untainted in the
eyes OF the people of Colorado and he
will command ten times the respect
and admiration, but let him be return
ed by a fraudulently elected house
and senate and he will ever be regard

A NEW LEADER. l

1t is refreshing now and then to
have a political opponent rise from
the slough OF political eorruptionists
and ask for new leader. This is
what our morning co-temp did yester-
day. 1t came out boldly for the side
tracking of such dimmed lights as C.
s. Thomas. Bob Speer and Save
Teller" The latter. as election re
turns indicated, proved a dead weight
instead OF an aid. Democrats all over
the state were disgusted to think that
the party had to be loaded down with
a man whose sole ambition is to hold
Office and was willing to cross himself
in most any conceivable shape in or
der to curry favor. Senator Teller
forced the Democrats to carry him. 1t
was expected he would quietly drop
to the rear but he placed Democracy
in a hole from the start by stating he
would abide by the decision of the
state convention. 1t was well known
that courage was not TO be found in
side the Democratic party to turn the
old man down, and he became their
leader. Charley Thomas and the rest
of the Democratic satellites stepping
one side for the man after an Office.
The Democrat recognizes this-that
Teller is not the idol OF the people,
and that Thomas, Speer and others
of the same breed have fallen by the
wayside and no blowing of Gabriel's
trumpet will ever arouse the public to
rally to their standard. hence our local
in,
new Moses That something must be
done to enthuse the Democratic party
of Colorado no one doubts. The rule
and ruin policy of the Democratic
leaders the past few years is not Ell
dorsed by the people of this great
state Charles j. Hughes, the man
suggested as the new Moses, is an
able gentleman, but how about his
standing? Isn't he deeper in the cor
poration mire than any man in the
state of Colorado? Isn't he the first
man the corporations seek advice from
when in trouble? If we remember
correctly, Mr.. Hughes is an out and
out corporation attorney. Still, he Is
possibly the logical leader of the par
ty Just the same because 1t is well
known that Democracy in nine cases
out ten. is not sincere in its ratings
at corporations, and what should be
more natural than for our morning
neighbor to rant about trusts and cor
porations and under such cover
hoist corporation men on the party as
leaders.
But the main point at issue is; That
the old leaders and ballot box manlp-
ulators must step aside. Even Teller
is no longer the Grand Old Man

Alva Adams received hundreds of
votes from people who knew him
throughout the state. His two terms

o do with attracting votes to his
dlse. SO far as Alva personally, is
oncerned. the people have no kick.
Jut they blame him for the disgraceful
proceedings in Arapahoe county
brought about by manipulation of his
brother Frank Adams in the interests
OF a machine to corrupt the ballot.

more than any any other one thing.

pie favored men who will work with

when seeking an endorsement for re-
election. is another one of the Demo
