Governor himself conceded his defeat
Adams' majority over Peabody in the
CIV AMI County OF Denver is 500, and
in the entire state about $500
Republicans still claim a majority for
Peabody in the state outside OF Denver,
but this claim is not borne out by the
returns, which are still incomplata.
20, the face of the returns Adams is
e'ected," said Farley, but the offici-l
count or a contest may change it to Pea
body"
Peabody was beaten by $50 plurality
in his home county (Fremont), although
it was carried by Roosevelt by 200.
John F. Shafroth, DEM. is apparent
lv elected Congressman-at-lar by
plurality of 207. Robert w. Boynge,
Republican, has abont 800 plurality in
the First District, and q. NJ. Hogg, Re-
publ can, has 2000 plurality in the
Second District.
Both sides are claiming the Legisl =
Ire, and the result will be in doubt un-
til the official count is made in Denver
and Pueblo. After conceding the cleo
ton of Adams TODAY, Governor Peabody
said:
"The campaign just closed has been
one of principle. not candidates. |
have tried to maintain peace and quiet,
and law and order IN this state, and in
no case did | exceed the law as inter
preted by the Supreme Court OF the

IF the people OF the state, bv their

am still satisfied. The people know
what they want, and they always have
