DENVER, Colo., Nov. 9. Roosevelt's plurality In Colorado has been Increased over tho former estimates by later returns re-turns and may run above 15.000. Republicans Re-publicans and Democrats claim the election of governor and congressman-at-large and the Republicans threaten to contest the state election on the ground of alleged frauds In Denver. On the face of nearly complete returns Adams has carried Denver county by 4500 plurality and he appears to have a safe lead over Peabody without this county. What the Times Claims.

The Times concedes that the result Is In doubt as to the other state officers but claim the legislature to be Democratic In both branches. Post Holds Out for Peabody. The Post says: "Late returns this afternoon indicate clearly that the Republican Re-publican ticket in Colorado, national, state and county, has been elected by pluralities muging uuiii uuv iu ia,wv. A conservative estimate places Governor Gover-nor Pcabody's plurality at 5000. He will carry Denver by from 1500 to 2000." Democratic Claims. Democratic Chairman Smith made i the statement this "eTe'rilngr "Alva Adams Ad-ams Is elected by from 10,000 to 15,000. All the state ticket goes in with him according to our best Information." Peabody Is Elected, Says Fairley. "Peabody will bo elected by somewhere some-where between 5000 and 10,000. The State ticket will run between be-tween 10,000 and 15,000. Roosevelt Roose-velt will run even higher than that. The congressmen are elected by pluralities plural-ities above 10,000. I expect to bring Peabody to Denver with a plurality ranging from 7000 to 10,000, This is large enough to offset any frauds the Democrats might attempt in Denver. We will control tho legislature by good majorities." Chairman Smith. Stands Pat Chairman Smith of tho Democratic State committee tonight stands pat on his claim that Adams, Democnitlo nominee for Governor, Gov-ernor, bos been elected by a plurality of 10,000. He also is of the opinion that tho rest of the Stato ticket ha3 been successful, success-ful, but has nothing like complete returns re-turns on which to baao an estimate of the vole. Ho concedes, however, that Maupln, Democratic candidate for Congress from tho Second district, has been defeated by Hogg, tho present Republican candidate, but says tho result ns to Congrcssmnn-at-largc Is still uncertain. Adams's Plurality in Denver. Returns from all of tho 201 precincts In thla city, with the exception of about two dozen, give Adams a plurality of nearly 70CO. Tho precincts yet to bo heard from aro admittedly Republican, and It Is generally gen-erally thought thnt when they report Adams's plurality will bo reduced to about 4000 In Denver. Chairman Fnlrloy of the Republican State committee had nothing to odd to tho slatoment already made by hhn. |
