us be Missourians before we are any

Governor Peabody's Protest.

The protest addressed by Governor
James II. Peabody to the joint con-
vention of the Senate and House for
the purpose of canvassing the vote for
governor is IN part as follows:
"Gentlemen-As you are advised.
there is a suit. in which the state OF
Colorado is plaintiff, now pending be-
fore the Honorable Supreme Court of
this state, relating to the conduct OF
the general state election OF this stats
held November 8. 1904, in tho city ana
county Of Denver, and that in said sutt
1t has developed that conspiracy was
entered into between the Democratic
officials in control of said election I'm
said city and county, and other par
ties hostile to the Republican party of
this state, to defeat the election OF tbB
nominees of the Republican party.
whose names appeared on the Republ5-
can ticket. for said election, and par--
ticularly to defeat the election OF this
protestant"
The governor here reviews the ac-'
ton of the Supreme Court at consider
able length and adds:
For the reasons above stated L
therefore, respectfully protest against
your canvassing the so-called returns
that may be presented for your action
from the city and county of Denver Big
said election commission
II also respectfully request that you
promptly take action, through COM
mittees, or as body In Joint assem-
bly,. to ascertain as best you can. tfse
number or legal votes cast at the sa5d
election of November 5th last, In tbs
said city and county of Denver, In or
der that you may be able to give the
certificate of election for the o1icD
OF governor to the person properly en-
titled thereto; this to be without pre-
judice to any candidate for said offics-
to contest the election in the manner
prescribed by law. An additional re8-
son for such action on your part is that.
1t is indispensable to prevent the legal
voters of the city and county of Denver
from being disfranchised.
That pending the report OF saidl
committee the said joint assembly may
adjourn to q day and hour certain, not
later than the morning or forenoon OF
Monday, January 8, 1905, at which TINS
TO then act ul'on any reports that may

Investigating Committee.

Denver, Jan. THE committee ap.
pointed by the joint meeting of House
and Senate of the Fifteenth General
Assembly to examine the vote for gov
ernor of the state, as cast at the last
November election, met yesterday
afternoon and again at night.
The investigating committee issued
subpoenaes on the Denver election
commissioners to appear with the reg
istration books and ballot boxes, but
Members Graves and Soetje refused to
comply and sent reply that they did
not consider the investigating commit
tee a legally organized body, and that
as a legally constituted body, they re-
fused to appear. They further held
that the ballot boxes were being held
Court and could not be turned over to
this committee.
Three subcommittee of five each had
been appointed to examine the ballots
and registration books, while the en-
tire fifteen were to listen to the evi-
dence.
Attorneys Willis " Elliott and II. J.
Hersey appeared on behalf of the pro-
testant, Governor Peabody, and T. ].
ODonnell and Samuel w. Belford rep
resented Governor Adams, but later
withdrew. Attorney George W. Dunk
lee appeared on behalf of the ma
jority of the election commission.
According to voluminous affldavits
they had. there were $500 fraudulent
names ON the list. and they asked that
all of this number be taken from the
majority of Governor Adams, as it was
reasonable to suppose. they held, that
these names had been voted.
When Mr.. Riddle was called and ex-
amined by Attorney Elliott he pre-
sented a computation of the fraudu-
lent vote, which he estimated at about
$500, with a total fraudulent registra-
tion OF about $4,000.
