RESUME OF
late ELECTION
Senator andcongressman had
Close Call for Reelection
LAW AND ORDER
PARTY SWEEPS STATE
Not Over -Four of Sixteen Amend
ments Carried and Only Prohibi-
tion and Good Roads Sure

With small margins-not %
per cent of the mnjorities receiv-
ed at their previous election
Charles s. Thomas and Ed keat-
ing, the Democratic nominees Tor
United States senator and con-
gresham, have again been chosen
to misrepresent the people of Col
orado. This is the sad tale that
has been officially confirmed by
the state canvassing board in ses-
sion at Denver this week, and is
the outcome of the influence brot
to bear upon loyal Democrats by
the Vice President, Secretary of
State and other "big guns" of the
party, but it cannot in any sense
be taken as vindication of the
acts and policies of Senator
Thomas and Congressman Keat-
ing.
Upon the state officials the Off
cial canvass makes different
showing and indicates the un-
swerving loyalty of the people of
the state to the principle of law
and the maintenance of order.
George Carlson, the law and order
candidate for governor, was given
an overwhelming majority, and
next in line was Fred Farrar, the
only man on the Democratic ticket
who stood by Gov. Ammons. Be-
sides the attorney general two
other Democratic candidates
Judge Teller for justice of su.
preme court and Mary G. q. Brad
for for superintendent of prh'ic
instruction-pulled thru by the
skin of their teeth, and for their
election the United Mine Workers
wish to take all credit.
By majority of nearly ten
thousand votes the amendment for
statewide prohibition was carried,
and the good roads bill has also
pulled thru, but all the others will
be in doubt until the official can
vass in Denver is completed.
