DENVER, Colo, Jan. 4---With the
prospect that 1t may be called upon
to decide whether James H. Peabody
or Alva Adams is to be governor of
Colorado during the ensuing two
years the fifteenth general assembly
met today and organized. Both par
ties have been worked up to high
pitch over the gubernatorial election
dispute and it Is not improbable that
the legislative session begun today
may be characterized by as exciting
scenes as that of two years ago when
it was found necessary to call upon
the state troops to preserve order.
Governor Peabody's message to the
legislature contained many recon.
mendations of radical nature.
Among other things he recommended
the abolishment of the board of arbi-
tration and the military poll tax. new
election laws, work for convicts,
big appropriation to fight the Kansas
water suit, civil service rules In all
state departments, the erection of an
executive mansion, and enlargement
