OPEN THE BALLOT

Adams Petitions CoIora-

Charges That Certain EyiI.0isposed
Persons Are Using it as Cloak
to NulIify Peoples
Will.
(By the ASSOCIATED press.)

Denver Colo, Dee. 2S.--AttorneyS
Charles S. Thomas and Samuel w.
Belford filed Il petition in the Supreme
Court today on behalf of tAlva M.
Adams. The Democratic governor-elect
asking that either the court or a COM
mission to be appointed by the court,
shall open all of the 2f4 ballot boxes
used in Denver at the late election.
and make thorough examination of
their contents.
Il have no question about my cleo
tion by substantially the majority re-
said Governor Adams. Il believe If
the frauds in outside counties could
be uneaEthed my honest majority
would amount to 10000. But j want
no tainted seat. 1t is of far greater
Importance that extensive election
frauds should be unearthed and pun
ished than that l or any other parti-
cuIar individual should be sworn in as
governor. l don't know who COM
United the alleged frauds in Denver.
j know nearly thirty men are in jail
ostensibly for contempt of court, but
really charged with election crimes. If
they are of the character reported L
feel assured that there are men at
liberty far more deserving of guilt
feel that some of those in Jail have
been unjustly dealt with. But be
that it may, l want this investigation
made; ] want it to extend to the head
10 the foot and l want the truth
Known.
Governor Adams petition charges
that certain evil disposed persons are
using the court as cloak under
which they may nullify the will of the
people as constitutionally expressed al
the polls. The petition insists that
however extensive the frauds per-
petrated, the legal voters have con-
stitutional right to have their ballots
counted, and to that end every ballot
box in the city of Denver should be
opened and its contents scrutiniZed.
Governor Adams suggests the APP
pointment of a bipartisan commits
sion bf four or six persons to hear
evidence. examine ballots and report
its findings to the court.
