since Stone has done his duty in

SPRINGFIELD BAcA COUNTY, COLORADO. FRIDAY, FEB s.

Trinidad bosses came over to
Boston to electioneer, and took
in all the east.end towns.
In order to get Minneapolis
and Springfield, an arrangement
was planned between Boston and
Minneapolis and Springfield for
the formation of three counties,
making each a county seat. For
this purpose parts OF Prowers
and Bent we're to be incorporat-
ed in the new counties.
By this plan these three towns
apparently worked harmoniously
together through the campaign.
That was before the days OF
Australianism. hence the ballot
box was easily tampered with.
We don't know how it was done
at other voting places. but we
are presuming that the fear Of
the Lord, as in the case of Bos-
ton. didn't weigh heavily upou
any of those towns, and those d.
rectly In charge of the election
might consequently have been
without an overpowering grace,
in which case the hewing may
not have been very cloee to the
line of righteousness.
We believe that at Boston
Hughes carried the election by
something over tive-hundred ma
jority. The other feller--mean-
ing the republican candidate.
was allowed to have a few,
enough to partly hide things.
A great many people had al
ready gone from the country.
ard just how many votes were
cast will probably never be
known. but probably 300 or
400. The Jenningses h d
gotten themselves conveniently
appointed as ballot-box manipu.
lators. Just how much it was
really manipulated is ot course a
matter of guess, but under the
| circumstances most any kind oi
10 aRuess wouldn't be far from
the mark.
Hughes elected
The county of LasAnimas was
!. at that time overwhelmingly
/ democratic, hence the matter o.
ballot box manipulation woule
any way make but little differ
ence in the final result,
The entire democratic county
ticket was elected-Albert Hugh
es for representative, and Case
mira Barilla for senator; and
these two we're supposed to be
able to swing the county-cuttine
and county-seat matter whatev.
or Way they pleased,
At Denver
The fight was now transfer
red to Denver. Boston had its
representative. and presumably
the support of senator Barilla.
In addition, DIR. Brown was sent
as a lobbyest to assist Hughes
and Barilla in the building of
this southeastern empire.
The other towns-Minneapolis,
Villas and Springfield each had
its lobbyists at Denver, each
looking after it's own particular
interests.
We believe there was no bill
introduced along the lines on
which Boston, Minneap olis and
Springfield worked together
during the campaign-for the
creation of three counties.
Whatever sincerity there was in
this plan in the first place, no
doubt it didn't take long to find
out at Denver that such forma-
ton Of counties was out of the
question, and that it would be
useless to introduce su.h bill.
