republicans.
So it went all over the county.
Walsenburg, the county seat and the
largest town in Huerfano, ran up
the usual Far majority, which is alb
surdly in excess of political senti-
ment If the people were given fair
chance to express themselves by bal
lot. That 2,20O majority had to be
secured, however, and the means
were not considered in the least.
Legislature VIII Act.
This sort of thing has been going
on in Huerfano county for years. but
it is quite likely that it has been done
for the last time. The democrats
have elected their ticket in spite of
the attempt to steal the entire state
with the sheep and tin can vote of
the kingdom of Farr. and they don't
propose to ever place the state in
jeopardy again. The most drastic
measures may be necessary to elm
mate the fuel cC.ipany's subchief
from state politics, Dat it will be done
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture.
The corporation interests were as
unabashed in Las Animas county as
they were in Huerfano. In coal
camps like Hastings and Berwind.
controlled by the Victor Fuel. and
in the camps of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. the agents of the
corporations went the route for the
republican ticket just as strong as in
years past In many of the camps
the average vote is something like
800 republicans to 80 or perhaps so
for the democrats.
Ancient payrolls, carrying the
names of men long since departed
from the camps, and. in many in
stances, from this life, were register
ed and voted. The democrats were
allowed no opportunity to register
their voters. In spite of this the
democratic candidates made magni-
ficent race all over the county.
The republicans are claiming the
election of Cashmere Barela, the per-
petual senator. over DIR, Ben Beshoar
democrat. but Bcshoar is undoubt-
edly elected even in spite OF the
fraudulent vote, and if an attempt is
made to job him, as his father was
iobbed by Barela four years ago. his
case will go before democratic state
senate. and ON an allegation of fraud
Barela will not have IA leg to stand
upon. Irregularities were too pal
pable all over the fuel companies
camps.
