Question Of Republican Noini.
nee for Superintendent Of
Pubic Instruction Settled
1H|RTY.0NE MAJORITY

Denver, Oct. 21.-One hundred and
twelve additional votes were given
Miss Katherine Craig, candidate for
the Republican nomination for the Of
flee of state superintendent of public
instruction, by recanvass by the local
election commission yesterday morning
of the votes cast in the primary Sept.
9, in Denver county for Miss Craig,
and Mrs. Elsie Robbins Foote, her op-
ponent, it was announced by James a.
Hamilton, secretary Of the commission.
The recanvass took four votes away
from the original total given Mrs.
Foote, Hamilton said.
The recount in Denver county gives
Miss Craig total Of 1875, against
21,92s votes received by Mrs. Foote.
It was made from the certificates of
the judges of the various precincts in
the city. s.
Recounts have been made in other
counties, also.
The recount was made in Denver
county upon the order Of District
Judge Julian h. Moore, who granted a
petition for the recount filed by Miss
Craig, who contended that errors made
in this county in the original count of
her votes would, if corrected, give her
the nomination over Mrs. Foote.
The new totals for Denver county
will be certified probably today to Carl
8. Milliken, secretary Of state, and
when approved, will be used to correct
the state totals. When this 10 done by
the state canvassing board Miss Craig
will have been nominated by thirty-one
votes on the Republican ticket.

with the government aiding the state.
On federal aid projects the govern
ment specifies the character Of main
tenance of highways. On other high
ways the matter is left largely to the
various counties, and as result the
best work is not always secured. IT
a plan to be laid before the State
Highway commission in November is
approved, the state may give rs per
cent and the counties rs per cent of
the maintenance funds and the state
have full charge Of the work. 1t is
generally believed that Under such a
plan a more systematic program can
be evolved and better work obtained.
The two main federal aid projects in
this district is the one from east to
west through this county and to Grand
Junction and the one leading from
Grand Junction into the Montrose
country.
The next meeting of the association
win be held in Meeker in June Of the

Immediately workmen with hose
