Colorado Safe for Democrats.
Denver, Nov 1O.-Thirty-six hours
after the close of the polls in Colorado
returns were still incomplete, ow-
ing to the enormous number of
scratched ballots but figures so far
compiled point to the election of prac-
tically the entire Democratic state
ticket and the three Democrat can
didates for congress.
Democrat headquarters claim the
election of the entire state ticket, but
Republicans claim the election of

court, H. NJ. Wilson as state superin-
tCndent of schools and Anna Wolcott,
a sister of the late United States SEN
| ator Edward o. Wolcott, as regent IF
| the state university and these claims
| appear to be justified. The Repub-
! licans also claim the election of Ben
| jamin Griffith over John T. Barnett
| for attorney general
The reelection of Governor John F.
| ShafrOth, Democrat, is conceded by the
| Republicans. Democrats claim ma
| jority of 10000 for Shafroth. In 1908 his
majority was $4,000.
The next general assembly will be
Overwhelmingly Democratic.

| Socialists Make Gains.

in the Socialist vote throughout the
| state are shown in the returns from

| ward Russell, nominee for governor,
| of 200, which. is nearly double the
1924 vote of 1903 In New York

ran only 1000 votes behind the Demo-
are so close that a contest may be
made. Van Lear poIled approximately
1900 votes.

cate that Montana's next Legislature
will be divided politically on joint bal
lot as follows: Republican, So; Demo-
