Mr.. Hersey is considered one of the

recent work has been along the line
of the enforcement of election laws

This is fair illustration of the sort
OF charges upon which he bases his

Mr.. Ammons bases his charges upon
hearsay or guesswork. or upon the
merest suppostion; that is, if he be-
lieves the charges at all, which is
matter of some doubt. inasmuch as
Ammons has heretofore been credited
with fair share of common sense
AS matter of fact. everybody knows
that Ammon's charge that the plural
ity of Mr.. Cornforth was obtained by
fraud. is ridiculous, silly and absurd
Ammons has no legal or honest
grounds upon which to base a contest.
He is merely falling in with the ras-
cally Democratic plot to steal all the
seats in the senate from regularly
elected Republicans. in case sufficient
frauds should be developed in the
house to unseat the Arapahoe gang
sters.
The same thing is true of the
charges made by Hangs. who wants
to capture the seat to which James

plurality But some excuse has to be
made in beginning proceedings of this
sort, and we presume that such fool
