COLORADO GOVERNOR
MAUGURATED TWICE
TO BLOCK ENEMIES
Incoming Democrat Took
Oath Before Midnight,
Papers Say.

Denver, Colo, April 4.-The story
of midnight inaugural ceremony
here on January 0 was revealed yes
terday in an article in the Denver
Post, setting forth details of a plan
whereby Governor William f. Sweet
incoming Democrat, apparently at
tempted 10 block eleventh hour ap'
pOintments by Governor. Shoup, Re
publican, who failed of reelection.
According TO the Post, Sweet was
twice inaugurated governor of Colo
RADIO, the first time at one minute
after midnight on the morning of jan
uary 9, according to disclosures at a
hearing before Judge G. J. Morley, in
the district court, involving the le-
gality of the appointment of Patrick
j. Hammock TO the civil service COM
mission, by Governor Shoup, and the
appointment of Mrs. Elizabeth Quer-
eau to the same position by Governor
Sweet.
Asked TO confirm the story Cover
nor Sweet declared he had nothing
to say"
The Post says the Sweet forces are
prepared to argue that the appoint
ment of Hammock by Shoup on the
morning of January o was illegal, be-
cause ShOup was not governor at that
time, and in attempting to prove this
point they will disclose zone of the
most interesting incidents in Colo
radios political history, the secret in
auguration of a governor at midnight
TO forestall political appointments by
an outgoing governor of opposite po'
litical faith"
The story continues:
Governor Shoup's term expired
January s. Sweet became governor
at noon January .. at an elaborate
ceremony attended by members of the
general assembly, state officials and
prominent citizens. On the morning
Of January 0, before the Inauguration
of Governor Sweet, Governor ShouT
appointed Hammock to the civil service
commission to succeed Edward Troun-
slime.
Governor Shoup had appointed
Hammock to this position several days
before but made the second appoint
ment as a safeguard when some at
torneys claimed the first appointment
was illegal because Trounstine's term
did not expire until January Q.
Now, it appears, if political rum
ors are to be believed. that Mr.. Sweet
went to the Supreme court at mid
night of January s, and, failing to
find Chief Justice Tully Scott there
took the oath of office before Justice
James II. Teller. After which, the
new governor went home and twelve
hours later went through the formal
ceremony of Inauguration without let
