RECALL OF NISBET FAILS
In AN EXCITING ELECTION
COMMISSIONER OF SAFETY RE
TAINS JOB BY BIG MARGIN
Receives Sufficient First Choice Votes
to Defeat Nine Contenders for Posi-
ton; Total Vote of 55,567.

The attempt TO recall Commissioner of
Safety Nisbct failed in the first gener-
al recall election under the amended
city charter. held Friday. November l6.
Sidney Eastwood ran second and Ham
ilton Armstrong. whom the political
prophets picked as the safer's chief con-
tender, came in eighth in n field of ten
candidates.
Nisbet polled a total of 27.il4 votes.
including first. second and "other'
choices. Eastwood's total of all choices
was 20,5ss.
Halsted Ritter ran third. with GA
votes less than Eastwood. Charles I.
Pfeifier was fourth. John D. Seeric
Borstadt seventh.
In point of number of voters partici-
pating the election was one of the most
remarkable in the history of Denver.
No less than 55.36T persons cast ballots,
as this was the total of first choice
votes for all candidates.
Scarcely less remarkable was the
size OF Nisbet's first choice votes. He
received 25ls5 first choices. This was
2.4aa less than majority of that class
Of votes. placing him in the position of
having needed only 2,i99 out of 55.367
to win on first choices alone.
The recall election was the first at
tempted under the recall provision Of
Dcnver's charter in which the entire
electorate of the city was eligible TO
vote only one other recall election has
ever been held in Denver. and that was
limited to one ward. the Ninth. when
the recall was invoked against Alder
man W. w. Worrell in 1910. 1t was
successful at the polls, but later was
defeated in the courts

JOHN E. HOLMBERC
Republican
Candidate
for State
Senator

Mr.. John E. Holmberg has resided in
Denver during the last fifteen years,
engaged in the building business, and
has at all times employed Union Labor.
He is a firm believer in short working
day and big pay.
In Minnesota, where he lived for 40
years. he served one term as mem-
Der Of the State Legislature, and acted
as chairman of the Labor Committee.
AT the end of his term he was con-
graduated by labor and capital alike
for his fairness.
He also served as sheriff of Mime
apolis. and in every act showed him
self to be a firm believer in a square
deal for both the working man and the
investor. During his many years as
contractor, he has never had any trou-
BILE with strikes or any other difficul-
ties concerning the men.
If elected on Nov. 3rd, he pledges him
self to support all measures that will
have tendency to upbuild the city and
state. He strictly believes in law and
order and equal privileges to all, and
special privileges to none.

Carlson's Campaign Collapses
And c. F. q /. Admits Defeat
Ten Thousand People Crod the Auditorium at Noon Thurs
to Hear w. J. Bryan Speak in Behalf of the Demo-
cratic Congressional and State Tickets

tions which now refuses to aid the Re-
publican campaign.
The Republicans have been unable to
secure any assistance from outside the
state John Wesley Hill, president OF
the International Peace Forum, and
Congressman Julius Kahn OF California,
who had been scheduled fur speaking
tours of the state in behalf of Republi-
can candidates, cancelled their engage
ments.
1t now seems certain that the Rock
efelIer- -Guggenheim c. +. & I-Smelter
Trust program is doomed to certain de-
feat. However, the voters are warned
not to permit this confidence and as
surance to deter them from going to
the polls on November 3.
Wonderful Bryan Demonstration.
Perhaps the most remarkable political
meeting ever held in Denver during a
state campaign, was that of Thursday
at noon. when w. j. Bryan reached this
city on his two days whirlwind tour of
Colorado in behalf of the Democratic
congressional and state tickets. 1t is
estimated that 10000 people surged in
and about the Auditorium building. The
local campaign managers, not anticipst-
ing any such demonstration, had ar
ranged for use of the theater portion
only, holding about 5000. Sc great was
the crush that the steel curtain in the
rear of the stage, dividing the Champa
street portion. was raised and that Sec
ton was quickly filled. Thousands had
previously gone away unable to gain en-
trance.
Bryan's trip from the moment he en-
tered the state over the Santa Fe, down
the Arkansas valley to Pueblo and
Colorado Springs, thence to Denver, and
through the northern section, was one
continuous ovation. Colorado people
loved Bryan in 1896, and their admira-
tion for him has not wavered through
all the years His visit this week
aroused the people and insured n vic
tory for Thomas. Seldomridge Keating,
Taylor and Patterson one week from
next Tuesday.

to pass on the grievances OF the men OF

The men now learn that there il no
agreement by which the two neutral

within certain time. This makes it
certain that the award viii not go into

seems to more than justify their orig
inal objections to arbitration.
The law creating the commission says
that 90 days after the commission is
selected the award Is to be made, but

own time in making its selections when

too heavy a burden for the Republican

II is announced that each employe OF
the Republican state committee was dis
missed Wednesday evening, and only
Chairman Philip b. Stewart and Sec
retary John +. Vivian will remain at
headquarters on the job, and possibly
even they may leave.
This situation was brought about by
lack of finances. The funds which had
been expected by the state organization
with which to conduct their campaign,
did not materialize. Stewart, it is said,
had advanced about 81, 500 OF his per-
sonaI funds toward the campaign and
has not been able to reimburse himself.

those who are close TO the organiza-

WORKMAN BADLY
HURT UNDER CAR
Grant Gallagher, Repairer, Mar
rowly Encapes Death in
Railroad Yards.

Grant Gallagher, car repairer for the
Rock Island lines, who resides at 1902
Fifth avenue, had a narrow escape yes
terday afternoon from instant death in
an accident in which his right leg
was badly lacerated and two ribs brok-
en-. The accident occurred yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock in the railroad
yards at Thirty-frst street. The in
juled man was removed to ST Anth-
ony's hospital where DR.. Joseph De-
Silva attended him.
Gallagher had been employed in re-
pairing some broken trucks during the
afternoon, and was working on one car
of a string on a side track. He started
to crawl under the car to go TO the
stoTeroom on the other side of the
yards to get some tools he needed in
his work Just as he crawled under
the car, switch engine bumped into
the string The large muscle on the
right thigh was caught under one of
the wheels and badly lacerated and
two ribs on the left side broken.
Gallagher had the presence of mind
to seize one of the breakbeams as the
engine bumped The cars, and he was
dragged a considerable distance before
his plight was discovered by the train
men. This action probably saved his
life.
