Colorado State Republican Ticket
Elected Except Peabody.

Elected Except PEABODY.
Denver. Nov. 1.-THE News this
morning practically comedies the cleo
ton Of the entire Republican state
ticket with the exception of Peabody
for governor, who is evidently de-
feated by a considerable plurality.
There seems to be. however a possible
chance that Mrs. Grenfell, state super
intendent Of public instruction, may
have been reelected. The News says:
While the returns on the vote for
state officers apart from governor are
Tar from complete, The News has COM
piled tables. some OF which are at
tached, that seem to show the election
of the entire Republican state ticket.
except Peabody, and of the three Re
publican congressman. A considerable
number Of counties are estimated on
the best possible advice, and there is
chance that Mrs. Grenfell may pull
through on the scratch vote in her
favor in some of the big farming coun-
ties where the unofficial reports did
not tabulate her vote.
As the figures stand in The News
compilation majorities are as follows:
For Miss Craig, superintendent of
INSTRUCTION ..--.....-.....-. Sfz
For Congressman Brooks e, ,976
q. =. :. q.
For Congressman Hogg ........ C, OPS
The other Democratic state candi-
dates ran behind Mr.. Shafroth and all
Of them are defeated.
The State Senate is Democratic by a
good majority. but the complexion OF
the House is in doubt. Contrary to the
general expectation, the Democratic
candidates for the Legislature in Den
yer polled very small majorities, run
ming from few hundred upward. Un-
til the precise count has been made,
both in Denver and the outside coun-
ties In the float districts, the cleo
ton of the float representatives
is in doubt This is true particularly
because Denver is floated for the
House with Arapahoe county, where
Henry Brady, formerly active in the
politics In this city, is in charge of
the Republican machinery. and has
permitted no returns to be made public.
He Is said to be operating in harmony
with the Democratic machine in the
county under the direction of H. Brown
Cannon, formerly a county commits
sioner of old Arapahoe county. The in
dependent Democrats and many Re
publicans consolidated in the late cleo
tion and ran an independent local
tickets against the tickets nominated
by Brady and Cannon. and the situa-
tion in the county Is all tangled up.
The doings of Mr.. Brady, therefore.
have an important bearing on Denver's
representation in the House.
So far as the senatorial candidates
from this county are concerned, they
are not floated with Arapahoe county
but with Adams county, and all of
them are unQuestionably safe, as Ad-
ans has gone Democratic by 300 to 400
unless 1t be the Twenty-second district,
which includes a number of outside
counties.
The official count undoubtedly will
have to be awaited to clear up exactly
how the various float members of the
House will stand. The Senate will be
Democratic in any event.
The local county officers who were
elected last spring, but had to run again
this fall because of the possibility OF
doubt about the legality of the spring
safe pluralities. The vote on assessor
for instance. runs as follows:
Alexander, Dem. 81, ZIG
Gird, Rep. ..................... .29 1922
Alexander's plurality y..........1 1874
The vote on sheriff is as follows:
Armstrong, Dem. ................3 &c, ,S57
Nisbet, Rep. 80, ,119
Armstrong's plurality ........ 1888
Had Denver given the normal major
ity for the Democrats. Bonynge would
have been beaten in the First congress
sional district and Brooks might have
been beaten for congressman-at-lar
Mr.. Shafroth secured over 5000 plural
ity in this city on his great personal
strength, but Clay B. Whitford, who
ran against Mr.. Brooks in the First dis
trict, carried Denver by only 839, ac-
cording to the News figures. as fol-
lows:a
Whitford, Dem. ..............30 .30,511
Bonynge. Rep. .29,672
