JEFF FARR CHARGED WITH
PLOT TO NULLIFY ELECTION
KING OF HUERFANO MUST AN
SwER FOR FRAUDULENT ACTS.
Charged With Conspiracy and Conniv-
ing With Coal Operators to Steal
Elections; Thwart Peoples Will.

Contest of the election of j. B. tJeff)
Farr. Republican sheriff of Huerfano
county, has been filed in the county
court at Walsenburg as result OF the
investigation in Huerfano county con-
Quoted under direction of the Democrat.
ic state central committee after the re-
cent general election.
The complaint was drawn by Attor-
ney Philip Hornbein of Denver, who
was authorized by the central commit
tee to pass on the evidence gathered
by the Democratic investigators. L. L.
Neelley. Farr's Democratic opponent for
the office at the election of November
3, is the contestor.
Numerous allegations OF fraud are
specifically set forth to support a gen
eral charge OF conspiracy, into which II
is asserted that Farr, as sheriff, and
various other officials including TIE
board of county commissioners, asses
sor. county clerk and recorder, treas
urer and certain officials of corpora
tions engaged in coal mining in said
county" entered before the election "to
thwart the will of the qualified voters
of Huerfano county and to nullify the
choice of the qualified voters for the
various offices to be voted on at the
general election"
Against Sheriff Farr the complaint
charges that he "does now, and has at
all times during his incumbency as sher.
iff, used his office for the purpose OF
controlling the government of Huerfano
county in behalf OF himself and other
officials and certain corporations"
Fairs plurality, according to the GER
titled returns, was 800. Neelley al
leges malconduct, fraud and corruption
on the part OF the board OF registry
and Judges of election sufficient to
change the result of the election, which
he claims by plurality of about 300.
The complaint petitions the court TO
order cancelled the certificates OF cleo
tion issued to Farr and to declare the
contestor the duly elected sheriff OF
Huerfano county.
Ncelley charges that in the further
ance Of the alleged conspiracy, the con-
testee and other officials created GER
tain precincts so that they would be
wholly controlled by the various min
ing companies, with the specific pur-
pose OF enabling the contestee and 9th
ers affiliated with him to control the
election in said precincts and to prevent
this contestor and other candidates
nominated by the same political party
from making an investigation OF the
voters in said precincts a. to their
qualifications"

Declaring the time has arrived to ask
| President Wilson to withdraw federal
troops from Colorado and urging Gov
ernor Ammons to stand firm in ham
ding the situation, is the import OF a
report issued this week as coming from
| the legislative coal strike investigation
committee created at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature held last May
The report expresses the belief that the
state is now in position to assert It's
sovereignty and asks the governor to
prepare to accept for the people of the
state the responsibility of AGAIN BE
ING A STATE.'
Senator Samuel j. Burris of Pueblo
chairman of the committee, presented
the report to Governor Ammons, and it
is printed herewith in full as follows:
Denver, Colo, Nov. %, 1914.
ITO His EXcellency, the Governor OF
Colorado:
I'VE, the committee under Senate
Joint resolution No. of the special
session of the nineteenth General AS
sembly. acting at this time at your re-
quest as an advisory committee to you,
under that portion of the resolution re-
quring our cooperation with any OF the
executive officers of the state upon
their request, desire to report as fol-
lows in answer to your query as to
what should be done upon the with.
drawal of the federal troops by the
president of the United States, it being
understood by us that this is his pres
ent intention.
Matter Complicated.
I'VE have given this matter serious
consideration and we believe we have
=. aala L..
thorough consideration still leaves the
matter very complicated, it is quite ap.
parent to the committee that there is
but one stand to take. We believe we
can say without successful contradic.
tion that no governor of any state In
this Union since the Civil War has been
confronted with as serious problems as
those YOU have faced. During these
troublous times it was necessary for
you to appeal to the President OF the
United States for federal troops.
Fortunately for the people of the
state the President came to our rescue,
but at the time of doing so he made it
clear that the federal troops must re-
main only until such time as the state
could properly reassert its own SOW
ereignty. We believe that the state is
now in that position, and we agree with
YOU that you cannot in fairness to the
President plead longer for federal aid,
much as the same might be desired.
You should. therefore, prepare to ac-
cept for the people of this state the
responsibility OF again being state.
We believe it right and proper for you
to make known to the people that the
| federal troops are to be withdrawn
within very short time.
May Conscript All Citizens.
I'VE recommend that you issue n
proclamation to the effect that every
person within the state is commanded
to obey the law and to refrain from all
incendiary utterances; for each and

What Has Been and is Being Done
to Better the Public Roads of
the State
BY A. r. Hirst, Chief Engineer Of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission.
lCantinLad Era,a 1 act MaaLA

BY A. r. Hirst, Chief Engineer of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission.
Continued From Last Week.
(6) Would a county aid system
produce better results in roads and
at less cost?
This is rather a difficult question
to answer, inasmuch as there is no
state except Indiana operating in a
large way exclusively under a county
aid system and no figures are avail
able from that state. AS to a county
aid system producing better results,
we believe that we can confidently
say that roads built under a county
system (Where each Individual cOun-
ty carries out it's own ideas as to
types and methods of construction
are not as high a class as those
built under the state aid system
This is best evidenced by the fact
that when the counties in Wisconsin
did operate under the county aid
system, the results varied in the
various counties from almost COM
plete failure to results which would
compare very favorably with our
present results. Those last counties
operated in accordance with plans
and directions furnished by the High
way Division of the Geological and
Natural History Survey, which until
the creation of the Highway Commits
sion, furnished free engineering SER
vice to the counties. l doubt wheth-
er there can be found any county
Which would not be willing to say
that the state aid construction in
that county is a better type of con-
struction than that obtained under
the county system in the same
county.
Outside of the cost imposed upon
the counties by the superior (and we
believe necessary grading and Gull
vert work insisted upon by the State
Highway Commission, there could be
no item of cost which would be ma
terially changed under county sys-
tenn as compared to the present state
system. The items which go into the
work are mainly materials, labor
and teams. Their price is not fixed
by any state law but is just as much
a local matter under the state system
as it would be under a county aid
law.
The only way in which the cost
of work could be materially reduced
under county aid system would be
to do poorer work, and we do not
believe many will argue that this
would be advisable.

The announcement of Chas. Kir-
vans candidacy for reelection as
district attorney reached us too
late for comment last week. He will
have no opposition, apparently, and
inasmuch as he has unquestiOnably
made good as county prosecutor the
county would have nothing to gain
and much to lose by making a
change. Mr.. Kirwan has not only
been efficient and vigorous in the
discharge of the manifold duties of
his office, but he has also at all
times had the interests of the tax
payers of the county at heart. He
has been unusually successful in
avoiding trial of many cases that
would have cost the county a great
deal by convincing prisoners that if
they were guilty they would be bet
ter off to go before the judge and
be sentenced, so they could be
serving their time and also there
by standing a better chance of be-
ing leniently dealt with.
