and after the elections and from the
evidence fathered in recent trials BE-
fore Judge Johnson.
DO the people know what this
I2eans? 1t means the utter dfsfran-
chisement of every citizen in Denver.
The little band Of criminals intrenched
at the City hall can continue in power
forever. They can make or unmake
charters. control. rob or destroy cor
porations. elevate or ruin individuals
or annihilate property. In one year the
fraudulent votes have gone from ten
per cent. OF the total TO thirty-three
and one-third per cent. 1t is just as
easy to make 1t fifty per cent. and out
vote every decent man and woman In
the community But gang that con-
trolls one-third or one-fourth or one
fifth of the votes cast can always carry
an election any way it desires, ~ the
honest people divide up between them
selves
How long will this condition last?
Just as long as the citizens OF Denver
remain Indifferent. Just as long as we
think things cannot be made better. Just
as long as our best citizens smile COM
placently Just as long as we try to
think this cry Of fraud is politics, In
stead Of being the truth. Just as long
as we try to cover the sore spots and
hush the evidence, instead of rising up
like men and stamping out the plague.
THE league will issue bulletins from
time to time beginning next week. CIV
ing the evidence we have and telling
of the progress we are making. They
will be mailed to any citizen who is in

Report About Sinking Of British Sub
marine Boat.

London. March IS.-lt is reported from
Portsmouth that a British submarine boat
has been sunk with II members OF the
crew.
The liner which struck the submarine
boat was the Berwick Castle from East
London South Africa. The loss OF the
boat was not known for some hours after
the liner had reported to the maneuverIns
feet that she had struck torpedo. The
officers of the liner say that they saw
clustering torpedo-like hull in the water

submarine boat rose Just before she was
struck The officers of the fleet did not
stlpDoSc for a moment that the submarine
boat had been struck and continued the
oDorations. expecting that vessel to re-
anpear Mt some other point. Finally a
search was made ana the breaking of the
waves revealed the presence of the III
tated boat.
There is no doubt that all the members
Of the crew died in their steel tomb. 1t
is presumed that the Berwick Castle III
striking unset the trim of the boat and
spilled the gasoline. in her tanks. render,
ing her helpless. The crew was battened
down and must have met their terrible
f,tn from suffocation in the absence OF
fresh air and owing to the fumes of the
ouSOline.
