Numerous union labor men and meas
urcs were successful at the recent gen
cral election. In Colorado practically
every man indorsed by labor was elected
from President Wilson on down the line.
Edward Heating. chairman of the house
labor group, was returned by an in
creased majority from the third or
Pueblo district, carrying almost every
county. Ed Taylor of the fourth dis
trict, tho not union member, has al
ways stood true to labor measures, and
had phenomenal majority of 1900
votes. Ben c. Hilliard of the first. or
Denver district, who supported President
Wilson's policies and voted for labor
measures, was reelected by $500 plural
ity over his opponent. Colorado's one

VOTERS IN COLORADO
Carlson Gabbert Whtford and Hlyer Condemned Arena
When Avalanch Of Votes Decree Them Unfit for
Public Service; Labor's Victory Complete

tice James f Garrigues dissented from
this ruling.
1t was the ayowed purpose OF the mine
owners, with the cooperation of Gov
ernor Carlson and Attorney General
Fred Farrar. to use Judge HiIlyer as the
instrument thru which they would rail-
road some GOO indicted strikers and un-
ion officials either to the gallows or the
state penitentiary. Disbarrment OF Hill
yer alone prevented the consummation
of this audacious scheme. Not a single
striker or union official was either
hanged or placed in state prison.
Now that Carlson, Hillyer. Gabbert
and Farrar are relegated to private life,
it is confidently expected that all re-
naming court cases, informations and
indictments against former strikers and
union officials growing out OF the coal
strike will be dismissed and the slate
wiped clean for industrial peace and
prosperity in Colorado.
For the first time in a quarter cen
tury the elections IN Huerfauo and Las
Auimas COMMITTEES were this year free

and the jeff Farr gang. +. l. Neelley

II over William Kincaid. the Republic
an candidate, by 300 majority. J. J.
Marty. Democrat. was elected sheriff in
Las Animas county. In fact every Dem
ocrat on the ticket of theSe two coun-
ties was elected, even Senator Casimiro
Barella OF Las Animas county going
down in defeat after representing that
county in the legislature since the state
was admitted into the Union way back
in 1876 He lost out to : w De Busk,
Democrat. by $50 votes
II. \ Schmidt, Republican candidate
for representative in Las Auimas county
