mates from the country districts indi-
cate that the Republican state ticket
will have majorities ranging from 225. =
900 to 100000. William P SNYDER for
auditor general has run slightly be-
hind William L. Mathues for state
treasurer. while Morrison and Hender-
son, who were chosen superior court
judges, polled a vote almost equal to
that of Mathues.
In the counties where judges of COM
mon pleas court were chosen the Re
publican percentage of victories was far
greater than that of the Democrats.
The grea test surprise was in Lehigh
county where Frank NJ Trealer, Re
publican. defeated Edward Harvey.

history of the county that a Republican

due mainly to the disaffection in the
Democratic ranks
The defeat of present Judge Harmon
Yerkes, Democrat. in Bucks county, by
M. H Stout, Republican. was another
victory which the Republican leaders
were doubtful of.

COLORADO.

Denver, Nov. 4.-Unofficial returns
from all the counties in the state indi-
cate that Chief Justice John Campbell,
Republican. has been reelected to the
supreme court by a plurality approx
mating 5000. They also show that he
carried in the neighborhood of 40 out of
the SO counties The plurality of Will
son, Democrat, in Denver is over 5000
but the Republicans charge wholesale
fraud and claim that a fair count will
give Denver to Campbell. Owens, the
Peoples party candidate for supreme
judge, in several counties ran second
and polled close to 10000 votes in the
state. In the two districts where fed
era1 elections were held Republicans
were reelected
w. H. Bryant, chairman of the
following statement today concerning
alleged frauds in Denver:
THE election in this county shows
how the city is at the mercy of a GRIM
inal police department In every pre-
cinct where gross frauds were commit
ted the police were in control and the
work was done by them or under their
supervision. good illustration Of this
will be found in the second precinct of
the Fourth ward. That was in charge
of Billy Green of the police depart
ment and under the eye of Mike De-
laney, police captain. AT the charter
election only six weeks ago the vote
was a little more than 200 Yesterday it
showed the remarkable result of III
for Wilson, 9 for Campbell Such a re-
suit is stamped fraudulent on its face.
And yet we seem to have no remedy
The courts turn a deaf ear; our officials
are nearly all active participants in the
fraud; the people seem content.
1.-The league, however, will continue
it's work. 1t will collect and preserve
its evidence some-some day we will
have a court honest and courageous
enough to give US a grand jury; it will
perfect its organization and prepare for
future elections"
