FRAUDS THAT ARE
MOST DIABOLICAL
Not Single Bryan Vote Recorded in One Precnct---A
Showup Of Dirty Work Done by Republican
Henchmen in Colorado

In one precinct of the county of
Huerfano, state of Colorado. Tues
day, that precinct being No "a. To-
Gated at Chico. there were SO votes
cast for the republican ticket AND
/ NOT A SINGLE VOTE FOR THE
DEMOCRATS.
In another precinct CNo. s. To-
Gated at Cuchara Junction) the re-
publican ticket received 139 votes
AND THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET A
SINGLE SOLITARY VOTE
Did Jefferson b. Farr deliver? He
did.
The full extent of that Huerfano
county grab-off is dawning upon the
democrats, as the detailed returns
from Huerfano were received in Den
Yer Wednesday, and the widest in
dignation prevailed at the state head
quarters, says a dispatch from Den
YER
Farr was simply rough house this
time. He did not allow the demo-
Gratis the election officials to which
they are entitled by law, and the
democrats in the county who have de-
fled his terrorism might just as well
have been living in Iceland for all
the part they We're allowed to take
in the election
AS showing the sheer robbery of
the returns. the La Veta. which is
outside the boundaries of Farr's pri-
vate domain, and precinct No. >.
where democracy is rampant and un-
afraid and cares nothing for the
sheriff and his satellites. there were
1874 democratic votes returned as
against l31 republican. That was "a
fair election, and that is fair di-
vision of the vote all over Huerfano
county If the people We're allowed
to have an untrammeled ballot.
Even the republicans are amazed
at the temerity of Farr and his polit-
ical road agents. He has gone pretty
strong in the past. but he played be-
yond the Farr limit Tuesday.
The very first thing that the demo-
cratic legislature will do when it
convenes this winter will be to take
care of that Huerfano situation. and
all sorts of remedies are being sug-
gested. The dynasty of the house of
Farr is drawing to an end.
The suave promises of Cass Her
rington of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company. dictator of the knights of
liuerfano, and for whom Farr is but
n sort of sub-ruler and administra-
tor, that the Fuel company would
take no part in the election, appar-
emily never got beyond his office
doors. Farr delivered. and Farr does
not deliver unless the Fuel company
orders.
1t looks like the Huerfano ballot
bandits went out of their way this
time to make the tear-off glaringly
apparent. In precinct No. II CPic-
tou). coal mining camp, the re-
publicans are supposed to have re-
ceived l75 votes and the democrats
s. In precinct No. 10 (Bear Creek)
the republicans are credited with 50
and the democrats 9.
At Rocky Mountain (precinct No.
29) there seems to have been an un-
usual number of democratic votes
permitted. because the Bryan ticket
polled 10 there against a mere "a
for the republican end. The Farr-
ties grew pretty heavy in Paigto,
which is precinct No. .. however. re
turning but 10 democratic votes to
100 republican.
Neither were they very generous
in precinct No. Is (Sisron), where
they allowed the democrats votes
and took l3 for themselves.
At the Walsenburg mine they ran
amuck, giving the republican ticket
i75 votes to 81 democratic. This Is
precinct No. is.
Precinct No. 10 North Tepeal was
| allowed to muster &c democratic
votes. but 80 republican ballots were
showed into the box, and may be
still there. although that is not ex-
aetly cinch bet with any Huerfano
| county box.
Turkey Creek (precinct No. 11l
had is democratic votes against 63
republican; and precinct No. 25, at
Lake Como, shows down stalwart
democrats to SO republicans.
Precinct No. 2S gives the demo-
cratic ticket 12 and the republican
so. while st. Mary's. which is pre-
cinct No. 3, had 81 democrats to 81
