DENVER, Feb. 13.-When the joint
legislative committee hearing the
Peabody-Adams gubernatorial contest
was called to order this afternoon it
was discovered that Juan de Dios
MonteZ County Clerk of Huerfano
County, was still unable to produce
the ballot box of Precinct 23 of Huer-

Adams alleged, that the grossest
frauds were committed by the Repub-

Democrats, wanted Montez punished
for contempt. but that matter was
held in abeyance while an effort was
being made to have the box produced.
Four witnesses from Adams County
identified their ballots from a bunch
of seven Democratic ballots alleged to
be fraudulent. One of the witnesses

to the recognition of its power to dele

in executive circles it is held that this
power is sufficient to warrant Its action

Roosevelt and on his left the German
ambassador, Speck Won Sternberg.
Next to President Roosevelt was Mgr.
Falconi, papal delegate to the United
States.
The German Embassador, in his
address, said that during his recent
visit to Germany he was struck by
the rapidly growing interest which
the German people are showing in
interest, which in former years was
only confined to certain quarters, has
now become universal.
President Roosevelt arrived at the
Hotel Astor shortly after midnight
and a few minutes later he was in
troduced. His entrance to the ban
quet room was the signal for an out
burst of enthusiasm, followed by a
second demonstration when he was
introduced. An informal reception
followed his speech. President
Roosevelt said in part:

friend the German ambassador here Tonight
am glad that you invited the representatives
OF the various foreign countries. and / want

READY TO OPEN
War ON CRAFT
General Citizen Committee
to Be Named to Conduct
Crusade Against Looters
OUTLINE OF CAMPAIGN
Attitude of the Republican
City Organization Causes
Comment in Conferences

Leading Republicans Of the city will
soon call for a general meeting of a
committee of $50 citizens to formulate
plans for moving against the grafters
and looters of San Francisco. 1t can
be announced to certainty that war
will be declared against Ruef and his
known allies in every Assembly dis
trict Of the city.
The attitude Of the present Republi-
can County Committee Is a topic that
has been fully discussed at every con-
ference Of Republican leaders. The
committee embraces in It's membership
many worthy men who are opposed to
Ruef's and Schmitz's methods OF man
aging affairs OF local government 1t
Is expected that committeeman who
are in sympathy with the taxpaying
citizens will cast the weight OF their
influence against the intrenched forces
Of graft. AS originally constituted the
Republican County Committee. select
ed by the convention which nominated
Henry ]. Crocker for Mayor, was anti
Ruef. During the progress of the
campaign an advisory body was added
to the committee and Ruefs hench-
men thereby gained ascendency In the
governing body of the party. 1t is an
open question to-day whether the COM
mittee is for or against Ruef.
The forces of good citizenship, how
ever, can win out at the primary cleo
tion with or without the support OF
the County Committee. Delegates to
the convention proposed by the people
can be elected by the people. The gen
eral committee Of citizens proposes the
adoption Of a system Of nominating
delegates that will give the voters an
opportunity to elect men to the con-
vention' who will represent the views
of the merchants, mechanics and work
ingmen Of the various districts.
Under the law the County Committee
as the governing body Of the party
must designate the time for holding the
nominating convention and also estab-
lish the basis Of representation. Tick
cts branded as regular" may be pre-
pared by the committee for each dis
trict, but 1t does not follow that such
tickets will mislead the men who are
leading the movement for better local
government.
A well-known Republican who car
ried his district against Ruef in the
last election remarked yesterday: "You
can lay any wager you want that Ruef
cannot bring about the nomination Of
Schmitz by the Republican local con-
vention. He does not expect the Re-
publicans to nominate the Mayor, but
he hopes by manipulation to secure the
nomination Of some man who will
agree to protect the appointees Of
Schmitz. The Ruef programme now
Is the same in this respect as 1t was
two years ago. He calculates that
Schmitz will get the labor nomination
and is ready as usual to walk out Of
the Republican camp and work openly
for the labor nominee"
