have Jurisdiction in deciding contested election
cases, and that the contest must come from ev.
cry voting precinct.
In Colorado the lower courts have no iurisdic-
tOn in contested election cases. but in no case has
the power OF court to issue niunctions been de-

as yet pointed out to the lower courts the fact that
there is no constitutional law granting such author

touch OF inustce and being often outraged, at the
last will come up like lion out OF the swelling Of
Jordan.
When the common people see they have no
standing in court then will be the beginning of the
end. Wrapped up in ambiguous terms OF academic
origin, behold the dagger with which the courts as
