ALLEGEDFRAUDS.
Colorado Supreme Court Ordered
a Sweeping Investigation In
to the Late Election.
TO OPEN DENVER BALLOT BOXES,
The Registration Lists, the Campaign
Expenditure and All Election Mat
ters to Be Investigated.
As There Are 204 Ballot Boxes It Is
Evident That Several Months
Will Be Consumed In Their
Examination.
Denver, Dec. 31. Ciretchlng .its
hand so as to cast a shadow over ev
ery man and woman in any way im
plicated in election frauds of the city
and county ot Denver on or before or
after November 8, the supreme court
Friday ordered an Investigation so
sweeping in its scope that every phase
of the election may be scrutinized and
everything that bears in any way up
on the election may be made known
by judicial inquiry.
Alva Adams, democratic candidate
for governor, who appeared from the
returns to havo been elected, but who
has declared that he does not want the
offlce tainted with fraud, asked the
court to open every Denver ballot box,
but the order of the court goes be
yond the mere examination of the bal
lots and provides for an Investigation
of the registration lists, the campaign
expenditures and in brief all election
matters.
Attorney Samuel W. Bedford, for
Adams, and Attorney Henry J. Hosey,
for the republicans, asked the court
to make Its order of such breadth that
the court need not stop at anything in
the investigation. The court said that
was what it meant to do and Instruct
ed tho lawyers to agree upon the
wording of the order and present It to
the court for approval next Tuesday
morning.
Handwriting Experts to Be Appointed.
As there nre 204 ballot boxes It is
evident that several months will be
consumed In the examination of their
contents by tho two hundwrlting ex
perts to be appointed for this work.
It, is expected that the supreme
court will be asked to make an order
placing special watchers at the court
house to guard the registration books
until such time as the investigation is
made.
"There are probably 20,000 fraudu
lent registrations on the books of the
city and county of Denver," said At
torney James H. Brown, the principal
adviser of the republican city central
committee.
F. A. Williams, chairman of the re
publican committee, has published the
following statement over his signa
ture: "Our Investigation into the conduct
of the recent election In Denver has
developed the fact that approximately
20,000 fraudulent votes were cast or
counted for Alva Adams in this city.
There Is now no reasonable doubt that
Gov Peabody and the entire republic
an state ticket was fairly elected on
November 8, by the votes of a largu
majority of the legal voters of this
state."
The Situation Complicated.
What effect. If nny, the court's ac
tion Friday will have upon the course
of the legislature in respect to can
vassing the vote for governor and de
termining whether Peabody or Adams
Is entitled to the seat has not become
apparent. Chief Justice Gabbert par
ticularly stated the court's Investiga
tion will not be permitted In any way
to interfere with any investigation
that may be set on foot by the general
assembly.
Republicans as well as democrats
admit that the opening of all the Den
ver boxes complicates the political sit
uation in Colorado, but believes that
It means there will be no "rough
house" as predicted.
It was announced lnte Friday that
the republican plan to unseat demo
cratic senntors had been modified and
that possibly only Senators Born and
Healey, who were seated by tho dem
ocratic majority on contests two years
ago, would be turned out.
It also was reported that on the
evidence of Influential republicans the
proposition to memorialize the United
States senate to unseat Senator Tel
ler would bo abandoned.
