prestige, not for any benei the state
might derive. and after seventy-one
days adjourned in disgrace. Not a
Denver paper commends the work out
side of one or two political measures
that have no direct effect on the peo-
pie, and even the political measures
are abortiOns outside of the initiative
the Democrats by the Republican
members of the senate.
In referring to one measure, the
railroad bill, the Denver News says:
Its one of the most brazen fakes
ever proposed"
Then regarding the fake registra.
ton bill, the News says:
Veto the Fraud.
The big mitt bill has passed the leg
islature. In the name of every decent
voter OF the city OF Denver and the
state of Colorado, The News calls on
Governor Shafroth to refuse his sig
nature, and to veto this bill which
would legaliZe election thieyery.
There is no need to go into detail
In pointing out the yiciousness of the
so-called registration bill to man
like Governor Shafroth He has had
experience with practical politics. He
knows how the registration lists were
padded in the old days. before Mayor
Speer's claws were clipped. He knows
for te was elected to congress by
those fraudulent votes. The bill now
before him asks him to authorize and
protect the frauds which he repudiated
then
The News is well aware that without
registration bill of some sort, the
primary law will be imperative But
the primary law will not be effective
until 1912 and there will be plenty of
opportunity to enact registration law
at the regular session of the next leg
islature
The way to reform never yet lay
through polluted ballot box The bill
TO authorize election frauds must not
become law.
In the face OF the fake extra session
and the bad effects Governor Shafroth
is going over the state asking for re
election. The governor should never
be placed in charge of state affairs
again. He mas proven himself unfit
and his inability to secure decent leg
islation. The voters should turn down
the misfit state government.

the Crippen home were not those OF
Mrs Crippen. 1t is believed the de-

was by this scar that the remains
were sought to be identified as those
of Mrs. Crippen.
