MORE. TROUBLE
~ COLORADO OVER RECENT
ELECTION.
10th Lieutenant Governor and
speaker Attempt To Preside
Over Joint Session.

Denver, Col, Jan. behind lock-
ed doors and amid scenes OF great
confusion and excitement the Colora-
do legislature passed resolution
creating a committee OF fifteen mem.
bers to canvass the vote cast for gov
ernor at the last election, and sub
NIT the final report to the legisla-
ture not later than 2 o'clock next
Monday. The committee Is composed
Of FIVE senators and ten representa-
Ives. the political division being -
Republicans and 3 Democrats.
Trouble began with the first sec
ond Of the Joint session and contln-
ued until it's close. II was understood
that there would be a conflict over
respective rights OF Speaker Dickson
and Lieut. Gov. IIaggott to preside
over the Joint session. The speaker
based his opinion of his right to pre-
side upon section of the state CON
stitutlon which says that "immed-
ately upon the organization OF the
house the speaker shall open and
publish the election returns in the
presence of n majority OF both
branches of the legislature.
Lieut. Gov. iiaggott construed his
right to direct the proceedings upon
a statute which declares that in con-
ducting any contested election the
general assembly shall convene in
Joint session and the president Of
the senate shall preside, unless he is
the contestee.
