Denver. Feb. 21.-The League for
Honest Elections last evening Issued
the following statement:
ITO the Citizens of Denver: The re-
cent scene in the House of Represents
tlves should stir the soul of every citi-
| zen of Denver. The attenA,n of the
Nation was called to our condition in
most dramatic manner. If any citi-
| zen has had his doubts as to the meth
cd Of conducting recent elections in our
city, that doubt must now be removed.
We stand convicted before the people
Of the Nation, a conviction resulting
from plea of guilty. Never before has
! member Of Congress been forced to
resign his seat because the proof OF
fraud was 80 overwhelming that he
himself was forced to admit it.
Shall these conditions continue?
The League for Honest Elections is do
ing all that it can to bring them to
close. We have an organization that
is permanent. that is becoming more
and more efficient, and membership
that is growing every day. 1t is thor
oughly non-partisan-our executive
committee being equally divided be-
tween the two leading parties-and 1t
the penitentiary every one connected
with election frauds in the city OF
Denver. We will be in the field before,
during and after every election.
I'VE understand that the evidence in
the Shafroth case demonstrated that
1000 to 5000 fraudulent votes were
cast at the election in November, 1902.
Compared with recent elections, that
was modest performance That was
only about ten per cent. of the total
vote cast.
1.-THE league makes the deliberate
statement that at the recent election
for charter delegates in the city of
Denver. not less than 10000 fraudulent
or fictitious votes were cast, or little
more than one-third of the total vote.
At the judicial election on November
Bird, almost the same percentage of
fraud prevailed, and at the charter cleo
ton of September 22d, an equal amount
of fraud was committe. This state
ment is made as the result of a careful
