COLORADO

DENVER, Nov. 4-Estimstes OF plurality
by counties based upon incomplete returns
show that Bryan and the entire democratic
state ticket. headed by John F. Shafroth
for governor, carried Colorado with plu-
raHties In the neighborhood of 5000.
The democrats probably will control the
legislature by a narrow margin. insuring
the election, OF Charles j. Hughes, jr.. as
United States senator to succeed Teller,
Hughes having been endorsed for the posi-
ton by the state convention.
Results of the congressional elections are
not positively known. but indications favor
Edward NJ. Taylor, democrat. in the state
at large; Robert w Bonynge. republican.
in the First district. and John A. Martin,
democrat. in the Second.
At a late hour this afternoon complete
returns had been received from only fifty
five out of 146 precincts in Denver and these
showed the following results:
President: Bryan, mn; Taft, 9.H5.
Governors: shafroth, li,624s Mcdonald,

TOPEKA, kan, Nov. 4.-Returns from
sixty-nine counties complete and incomplete
have been received. These give Taft 22,O24
and Bryan 1917. Later returns are re-
ducing the estimated plurality OF Taft and
OF Stubs, for governor. Stubs plurality
is placed at 10000 TO 5000 and Taft's about
5000 more.
The election of Joseph L. Bristow- TO the
United States senate is assured. Returns
received up to tonight show the election OF
thirty-nine democratic representatives and
five democratic senator's, seventy republi-
can representatives and thirty republican
senators. This leaves sixteen representa-
tives and five senator's still in the doubt

The republicans have a majority In the
legislature of fifty-six. not counting the
doubtful members and of thirty-five. count
ing all the doubtful ones in the democratic
column.

OMAHA. Nov. ITO the Editor of The
Daily Bee: From the report in the morn
ing edition of the Daily Bee. entitled "Much
Betting Has Been Done" and from other
recent reports in the daily press, on the
question OF betting on the result of the
election, It would seem that some of our
citizens have overlooked. as well as over
stepped the provisions Of Section 22S of the
Crimina code, which makes II a crime to
bet, or wager upon the election of any per-
son to any office, post, or situation which
by the constitution, or laws of this state,
Is made elective, or shall make any bet or
wager Upon the election Of the president or
vice president of the United States or, upon
the election Of electors of president or vice
president of the United States. The penalty
being a fine of from five, to one hundred
dollars.
This section being a part of the Criminal
code, is not like the "anti-treating' law,
nor enforcible, and yet some of the digni-
taries and "high-up' citizens, and in a
few instances officers of this city and
state, have, on the last election, stepped
high enough to come within the provisions
of this section OF the Criminal code.i Re

URGES REVISION
OF CRIMINAL LAWS
Attorney General Bonaparte Says Sc.
rious Defects Now Apparent
Must Be Remedied.

Pittsburg, Nov. 19.--That the Amer.
lean criminal law has very serious de-
fects and that, if the American people
wish to rule they must thoroughly
nationally and honestly recast the
criminal laws were asserted by At.
torney General Charles J. Bonaparte
IN his address as president of the Ma.
tlonal Municipal league, before the an.
nual meeting Of the BODY in this city
last night. His subject was "The Grim.
mai Law as a Means to Enforce the
Peoples Will"
Mr.. Bonaparte answered Mr. Bryan's
campaign slogan, Shall the People
Rule?' by saying, "Yes, if and insofar
as the people shall be in earnest in the
wish and purpose to rule"
He declared that the gravest and
least excusable deficiency of our
criminal law is found in its endless
delays and added that il the people
shall demand prompt and unquestion,
able obedience to the peoples laws and
shall give to this demand an ample
sanction in swift, sure and grievious
retribution for all rebellious to those
laws, the peoples rule will be real
Why need there be a fore-taste of
eternity" he asked, "between arrest
and Indictment: another between in
dlctment and trial, and yet another be
tween trial and actual punishment 2"

tains this week, after a shutdown of

previous to the election the company

tracks and picking up logs already
down.

the company, says that the indications
were for better business and an effort
would be made to meet all demands
Orders are already picking up, and
the general outlook is favorable.
Il am in close touch with a gas
engine manufactory in the east" said
Mr.. Wade, which had three months
advance work on it's books providing
Taft was elected. The instructions
were that all orders would be can
celled if Bryan should be elected. This
| take as an indication that the gen
eral business conditions of the coun
try, the west as well as the east, will
be better. The business world ha:
been restored to confidence"
