ELECTION FRAUDS IN DENVER.

Were Involved in Them.

Washington. Feb. 19-Ex-COngressman John L.
Shafroth Of Colorado. who resigned his seat be-
cause Of election frauds in Denver. denies that
these frauds were committed mainly by women. In
an interview to-day Mr.. Shafroth said.
or the persons implicated very few were women
not more than one in ten at the outside. The
frauds committed I'm the lowest part OF Den
yer. where not many women live. The incident was
not characteristic Of the voting in Col
oradO. and IL Is prepOsterOus to make ii argu-
ment against woman suffrage. Evcryb knows
there are bad women. as well bad men, but
what would any good man think II IL were proposed
10 take lis vote away from him because a few
bad men somewhere had cheated at election
In Colorado the women vote generally the
men and fraud is much among them As 4
rule their election methods are honorable. and the
influence Of suffrage upon the state has
been distinctly for good.
