GREAT HONOR.
Ex-senator Edward o. Woi-
colt Says the Above Words
About SenatorShip.

Denver. Nov. 14.-'I came back
here because l live here, because l
have "a graft here, because 1 lived
here for thirty three years, and expect
to remain in Colorado until L die. or
maybe until someone else dies" said
former Senator e. o. Wolcott. when
asked if he had returned TO Denver
Tor the express purpose of making the
race for the United States senate.
Mr.. Wolcott returned from two
months visit in the east last evening.
He spent the night at the Paddock,
Henry r. Wolcotts' old home on
Glenarm street. and was at his desk
at Wolcott & Vaile's office in the
Equitable building at 10 O'Clock this
morning 1t was there that Mr.. VOL
colt outlined his position in the sena-
torial race and incidentally discussed
state and national politics.
Il went away from Denver during
the campaign because the people be-
lieved that state issues should be
brought to the front and senatorial is
sues eliminated. Mr.. Wolcott con-
tinued "The idea seems to have
worked we'll. Although the republi-
can vote was not so large as it was
two wears ago, there seems to have
been decided absence of democratic
votes. which l believe is attributed to
the bad state administration but up
by the democrats and the very corrupt
record made by that party here in
Arapahoe county,
Nj. Wolcott was then asked to de
fine his attitude in regard to the
United States senatorship in The
event that the republicans control the
legislature on joint ballot. After as
serting that Colorado was his perma-
nent home and always had been, Mr.. |
Wolcott observed:
Il would consider it great honor
to be returned to the senate of the
United States where l have already
enjoyed twelve-years term Under
stand me, however. | am not going to
contest for it. [ am willing to do
whatever the people want. If they
desire someone else L will help them
elect that person.

Mr. Wolcott. when the legislature sit
uation was approached, ''is to ascer-
tain who has been elected to the leg
islature. | have no doubt but that

A BIC SUCCESS.

The voting machines proved per-
feet success i'll the election Tuesday.
Seven machines were used, one i'll
each of the six precincts OF the Thir-
teenth ward, and one in the sixth pre-
cinct of the Sixth ward, and all gave
complete satisfaction to voters and
election officials alike that interest in
them almost exceeded the interest in
the election. Rapidity and accuracy
were the chief characteristics noted
by the election officials, and the ease
with which the voting proceeded dur
ing the day led all that watched the
machine work to express themselves
in the terms of the highest praise.
The first returns were received four
minutes after o'clock from the Fifth
precinct of the Thirteenth ward
Rose 21S. La Toilette 211. The return
was the quickest ever made to the
central station by anv precinct i'll the
city in any election ever held in the
history of the state.
In some of the booths votes were
registered in from nine seconds to half
a minute. and in but few instances
were voters within the curtain of the
machine longer than full minute.
Although it was expected that some
voters would demand n paper ballot,
none objected to the machines, the
majority appearing to be greatly
pleased with their operation. The
city possesses fifteen of the machines,
but eight were not used. as there was
not sufficient time to instruct the vot-
ers in their use.
From the general appreciation of
the voting machines it is evident that
their use will be extended to all parts
of the city as soon as possible. and
probably 100 will be in use by next
election. 1t was feared by the cleo
tion officials that some of the ma
chimes might make q mistake. or get
out of order, or in some manner fail
to work. but the unfailing regularity
with which the machine cast the vote
went along in all the precincts rapid
ly established the machine in the con-
fidence of voters, and within an hour
after the booths opened yesterday
morning all worry and anxiety over
the operation of the machines disap-
peared. and the clerks and inspectors
settled down to enjoy the easy work
of checking off the voters. allowing
the machine to perform the heavy
work of the day.
To say that there was an entire alb
sence of trouble with the machines
would fully explain their operation.
but what difficulty was encountered
in any of the booths was due to the
voters and not to the machines The
trouble was chiefly with voters who
could not read. or who became ratified
upon entering the machine and had
to be cautioned in its use. In the Sixth
precinct of the Sixth ward the cleo
tion officials reported that one old
was never known to take less than
half an hour to mark his ballot ac-
the task by making split
ticket inside of two minutes, his
being greeted with a
rally of good-natured applause from
all the officials. In this precinct for
ty-fve votes were cast in forty min
utes.
In the Sixth precinct of the Sixth
ward one voter got into trouble with
the machine by pulling down one of
the levers first instead of ringing his
straight party ticket before attempt
ing to split. The exactness with
which the machine worked was illus
