Denver, Nov. 6.-The Democratic
party achieved signal victory III
Colorado when Woodrow Wilson car
ried the state by 10000. and Elias NJ.
Ammons and the Democratic ticket
were put into office by about the same
plulAnties.
Denver gave Wilson and Ammons q
plurality of 5000 votes after the Leavi
est voting ever known in the state
James B. Pearce was elected secro
tary OF state by $4,000.

Gates who were pledged to send the
peoples choice to Washington as
United States senators, were elected,
and Governor Shafroth and C. s.
Thomas victorious at the polls, will be
sent to Congress.
John A. Rush was elected district
attorney by big majority.
In Denver there was a tremendous
amount of scratching. The count OF
ftraight ballots alone, with nine pre-.
cincts missing. gives the Democratic
party 'l1.7lS; Republicans. 4,4O1; Pro.
gressives. 9.9Sl; scratched ballots, 25..
915. The total vote In Denver was
51.96O. with the nine precincts not
counted.
Prohibition as a statewide law was
defeated by 10000. Leaders OF the dry
campaign gave up the fight early and
conceded victory to the vets.
No definite figures have been com
piled upon the other amendments, but
1t is believed that the improvement
measures, such as the tunnel BILL good
roads bill and immigration fund bill
have passed.
Citizens Of Denver went about their
voting In an unusually quiet manner
and quickly. Their minds were made
up. evidently. as to how and for whom
they should vote and they made shor
work Of 1t. Two-thirds Of the total
registration had voted by noon, &C
Cordng to figures from the election
commissions. In spite OF the issue.
at stake the election was one Of the
quietest ever held in Colorado. the
same condition holding good all over
the state that was found In Denver.
The state vote has not been re
ceived completely. Thirty.seven coun
ties out Of the sixty.two from which
$50 precincts have sent In complete
returns OF straight ballots, show Dem
ocrats. 3l,7S4; Republicans. 1857;
Progressives, 1860. Scratching was
not as heavy throughout the state az
1t was In Denver.
Counties which had been consid
cred doubtful by the Democratic lead
ers Joined the Democratic ranks and
helped swell the total vote which elect
ed the Democratic ticket. Las Animas
and Huerfano counties were on hand
with their Republican majorities
though considerably smaller than the
normal G. o. p. vote.
As result OF the election more
counties In Colorado will have Demo.
cratic administrations than ever be-
fore In the history of the state.
Early returns indicate that Wilson
will have all Democratic congressman
and senators with him from Colorado,
and Ammons will be supported in the
administration OF the states affairs,
by strong Democratic Legislature.
