MANY VOTE

On April IL the Democratic state
advisory committee, headquarters
Albany hotel Denver, commenced
sending a form of ballot to all of
the names of Democrats which they
had in the state. about 10000 re-
questing the individual expression on
the voters desire for president, vice
president, governor, three candidates
for congress, four candidates for su-
preme court. These ballots were also
printed in nearly twenty Democratic
papers and as result are constantly
arriving at headquarters. So far as
is known few if any of the names
being voted for are candidates so far
as their own announcement is con-
cerned. The returns, numbering into
the hundreds while they all express
desire for president, no other candi-
date in the list receives anything like
equal attention and without casting
