TWO GOVERNORS
FOR COLORADO
If Peabody Tries to Hold Office,

Too.

Too.
Denver. Col, Nov. 2S.-f'If the re-
gpublicans try to seat Peabody, with
adams honestly elected by 1900 plur-
gGoiorado,' declared j. S. Appel, one Of
sDenver' s leading merchants, last night.
Business and professional interests

Mr.. Appel voiced sentiment that

ftion, discussed half jestingly TOR sew
SERIAL days, has become serious. Many
believe the democrats will play 1T as
their last card.
The democrats held a conference at
sthe Democratic club yesterday: Inc
proposition to swear in Adams IN case
Peabody refused to let go his office
was discussed, but it did not meet with
the approval of the wisest heads. =,
1T would be futile,'' said one Of the
leaders. "The republicans have all

would precipitate bloody war. III

may enter Denver from the mining
camps but violence would avail moth

criminal. What chance would few

IA Influence the Public.
The democrats today will begin q
campaign to influence public senti-
i ment Circulars will be sent to every
Il man and woman in Colorado saying, in
substance:
Eleven thousand plurality, on small
vote, is what the reputed thieves must
overcome to seat Governor Peabody. TO
attempt a crime of that magnitude is SO
monstrous and wicked that it Is not con-
sidered possible. =
FL But the conspirators have set about in
earnest to steal the senate. This is tho
scheme of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany, the mine owners association, the
railroad corporations, the Denver Tram
way and Water company. and certain
millionaire smelter magnate, who has de-
termined to climb into the United States
senate.

The Fuel and Iron company, = the rail-
roads and mining companies, and the
Z Denver corporations are opposed to, the
taxation of franchises as property %and
want the supreme court to declare 1t
illegal. They want the supreme court also
to declare an eight-hour law, ii one should
be passed, unconstitutional
The mine owners association VIII de-
nnand that a law be passed to tax and
4 collect from the people the $10O0,O0O that
the association advanced to pay for the
national guard while they were filling
bullpens and deporting men by hundreds.
With a democratic senate the tax scheme
might fail.
+ & A more gigantic and outrageous scheme
r of election robbery has never been con-
cocted In America.
Poor, miserable wretches who stuff bal
lot boxes or herd repeaters are angels OF
fI,oy ca6
scoundrels who deliberately plan the theft
of an entire state that they may shift
taxation from the wealth they control to the
farming and Industrial masses; that they
may pervert law and justice thru a bench
CARRIED in the servile uniform that marks
their minions; that they may Gompei t In
people to restore to them a million OF dol
lars they expended to overturn free re-
publican institutions In the state; that
they may select some one OF their Robin
Hood guild to represent Colorado In the
senate.
The democrats also expect to infu.
# ence public sentiment at banquet to
night. Leading citizens Of the state
have been invited.
Republican Protest.
uPeabody lost, and he ought to con:
eede his defeat to quiet the election
excitement and prevent injury to the
Republican party in this state,' said
Archie M. Stevenson, republican ma
tional committeeman for Colorado, to-
day.
eff the people back Of Peabody per
sist in keeping up the turmoil over the
late election, we will not be able to
carry Colorado again for the republican
ticket in the next twenty years. The
y balance Of the republican state ticket
was elected, and with any man other
than Peabody at it's head it would
have had nearly as large majority
rs Roosevelt.
"There were great democratic frauds
tn Denver, and the republicans will un
doubtedly win their contests in the SUI
preme court and gain control Of the
state senate.' i ,@-s~
