DEMOCRATS GETTING READY TO
CRY "FRAUD" As USUAL.

Denver, Oct. 26.-The Democrats
OF anticipated frauds show II. They
have done the same thing before. No
they pretend that Jeff Farr is going
to hold whole state election In Hue
fano county. and pretend to fear that
enough Republican votes will be re-
turned from that county to swamp
them. They are so scared they are
going to ask the supreme court to
protect them, as they did IN 1904.
Then they asked for protection In
Huerfano and got 1t. They did not
get 1t In Las Animas because the
Democrats were in control of the ell
ection machinery In that county and
did not need any protection.
Huerfano casts altogether about g.
900 votes. 1t surely can't be much
more than that this year. even II 1t
is unanimous. II there is anything II
the Democratic claim OF fifteen thou
sand for Shafroth. they ought not to
be SO scared at a possible increase of
500 for Mcdonald in a single county.
But OF course their pretended scare
is all grand stand play. They
know they are beaten, and want to
find an excuse-want something to
"holler" about. They have not said
much about Republicans buying votes
in Colorado this year. for 1t Is too
palpably evident that the Democrats
are far better fixed financially than
the Republicans. and II anybody can
afford to buy votes 1t is they. with
their millionaire candidate for the Sc
ate and their corporation attorney
candidate for governor.
Outside of Colorado. however. there
is the same old cry going up. Apro-
pos OF the foolish trust story IN the
News of Sunday. Mr.. James C. Bur
ger. Republican candidate for congress
man-at,large. said today:
THE howl of defeat has come. w
were waiting for it. 1t came about
this time in 1896 and again in 1900,
and then Judge Parker put 1t up In
l904-the howl that the Republicans
are going to steal the election.
1T is the same old story-they see
defeat coming. and want to make
some excuse for it. This time the
yarn is that three millions Of dollars
have been put up by "the trusts" in
return for a promise from Mr.. Taft
that they shall be let alone.

The Moonlight Waltz. played by
the Bannister Orchestra at the dance
last Friday night was worthy of spe-
cial mention. Albert Hagerman's pla
ing on his Drums and Bells.was
great addition to the Orchestra. The
three step was fine, and it would be
hard for any orchestra to beat it.
Mr.. Geo. L. Caruthers and Mrs.
Rosa Caruthers, Of Butler, Missouri,
were married last Saturday in Rocky
Ford, by Rev. Ellen. They were ma
ried once before but were divorced.
They have decided that they will try
married life again. and we think that
they are really in love this time.

SECRETARY OF STATE IN JAIL.
Court Lands Him There, but Su-
preme Court Releases Him.

Denver. Colo. Oct. 25.-When II
became clear to them that public
necessity required such action. that
without this there would be grave
danger of the whole state and coun-
ty elections In Colorado being rem
dered Invalid, or at any rate that
contests and litigation would come
as result. the three members OF
the supreme bench-Justices Helm.
Maxwell and Goddard-took part In
the deliberations of the bench yes
terday on the suits arising over the
two "anu" tickets which are being
opposed by the republican organiza-
ton. and broke the apparent deadlocl
In the tribunal. The full bench will
now settle the dispute.
The deadlock which had existed
owing to the refusal OF these Judges
to act. had resulted In giving Judge
Allen OF the district court a free
hand temporarily. and he had hasten
ed to do the bidding of Evans and
Hughes. and ordered the secretary
OF state locked up and the official
ballots printed according to the de-
slres OF corporation crew.
At this time the judges OF gu
preme court saw that 1t was either
up to them to act as their author
lty permitted them or to allow the
Denver election to be once more run
by the gang whose high-handed ma
nipulations have so often been a blot
on the fair name of the state. They
acted promptly then. and the secre-
tary of state was quickly released,
the printing OF unlawful ballots by
court instead OF as provided by
law was stopped. and the whole mat
ter will be thrashed out in court to-
day by lawful and orderly methods.
Secretary o'Conner has proved in
this emergency that he is the man
for the place. He will let nothing.
not even the fear of imprisonment
stand between him and the perform
ance OF his duty as he sees 1t. He
Is the man OF thehour. and met all
the requirements of the emergency.

to get them upon the official ballot
for the one purpose Of defeating the
Republican organization. and elect
ing Charles J. Hughes to the United
States senate.
Two bogus tickets. bearing the nam
es OF the Republican state candidates
have been prepared to deceive the
voters. The deception arises In the
fact that they are merely Republi
cans at the head, but below have
legislative ticket and county ticket
which Is neither Republican In fact
or In name. 1t has the names OF
some pretended Republicans, and Is
only kept in the field for the pur-
pose OF taking votes away from the
real Republican ticket and thus elect
ing the Democratic county and legis-
lative tickets In Denver county. The
Democratic county ticket will be the
slbservient tools Of the public utility
corporations. which are behind 1t.
and the legislative ticket will, OF
course, vote for Charles J. Hughes.
the corporation nominee for United
States senator.
The effort to keep these bogus
tickets on the official ballot has been
fought from court to court until 1t
has finally gone to the supreme
court.
But everybody will readily under
stand that these hackers Of the bogus
Republican ticket have had no mon
ey OF their own to make such long
and liter fight. The money comes
from the public utility corporations
and from the Democratic party In
birds OF feather which
flock together.
Corporation money Is trying to de-
feat the Republican nominees and
money is being used with
lavish hand to elect G. J. Hughes to
the senate.

There is less excuse this year than
ever before for republican voter
to scratch his ticket. The democrats
are boasting that they will carry the
county because their voters are going
to vote straight and that large num-
bers OF republicans are promising to
scratch their tickets. Why Republi-
cans should scratch for opponents
who brag about how easy they are
working them. and that they have no
intention OF reciprocating. is hard to
explain.
The republicans have a splendid
ticket. not only national but state
and county as well. and they can Civ
no good or valid reason why any re-
publican should scratch his ticket tt
large majority of the republican tick
ct is composed of heavy taxpayers,
who are vitality interested in the
