Three of four mounds were opened

A large bowl, beautifully painted,

OF COURSE THEY WANT
1T CUT OUT.

Many Democratic papers are persis-
tent in their demands that all talk of
contests and election frauds be cut
out. They want the matter dropped
But the courts refuses to LEI
1t drop. Three Democrats have already
been sentenced to the penitentiary and
a large number of others seem in a
fair way to follow. The Democrats in
the Denver precincts where fraud
was practiced evidently acted upon
the advice of Senator Patterson, who
maintained that the supreme court
had no authority to place watchers
to see that the election was conduct
ed fairly. So when the judges disre.
garded the instructions of the court
and ousted and maltreated the watch
ers they laid themselves liable to
contempt OF court. While some of the
guilty ones have been caught and sen.
fenced, others have run away
!, The federal court has also taken a
hand in the amtter and a large mum.
ber of Democrats have been arrested
II is a very serious offense to deprive
a voter of his right TO vote. The crime
-is punishable by a fine OF not more
than $1,000 and Imprisonment for no,
more than ten years, and in addition
to the fine and Imprisonment, the
guilty ones will after conviction be
always ineligible ito any Office or
place OF honor, profit or trust created
by the constitution or laws of the
United States"
No wonder the Democrats want to
