A SENSATION
Colorado Representative Acknow-
ledged Election Fraud.
EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY
Mouse Recognized Injustice to
' Innocent Man Exonerated -: .
by Committee.
(Associated Press Report.)
Washington February It. Involuntarily
relinquishing his seat aa a member of the
house Mr. Bhafroth ot the First district
of Colorado furnished a profound sensa-
tion during the forty minutes' session to-
day. The manly and earnest words of
the Colorado member (airly took tha
breath of the house as he proceeded to
put the first case on record In that body
where a member gave up his seat ac-
knowledging that his election had beem
tainted by fraud. For this fraud Mr.
Bhafroth declared he was not In any way
responsible nor was he aware that It had
been perpetrated until the evidence had
been adduced before the elections com-
mittee of the bouse. It was not done
he said further for the purpose ot caus-
ing his election.
Aa he announced the conclusion of eight
years' service In this manner the hush
which spread over the floor and galler-
ies when the purport of his remarks was
(realised became almost painful. But
when he sat down with words of thanka
on his Hps (or the treatment he had re-
ceived (ram his colleagues on both sides
of tlfe chamber applause burst forth and
continued long and heartily. The demo-
cratic members arose almost en masse
and extended personally expressions of
sympathy and encouragement
Mr. Olmsted chairman of the com-
mittee in charge of the contest recog-
nised the unusual position Mr. Bhafroth
had taken. He aald (he examination by
the committee exonerated Mr. Bhafroth
from any connection with the Irregular-
ity shown. Following the suggestion of
ar Bhafroth In his speech to the house
Mr. Olmsted hastily drew up the proper
resolution for his unseating and the seat-
ing of Mr. Bonynge and this was agreed
to with silent assent whereupon the
house adjourned.

le said in part: "This Is our gbvern-

This government is essentially fair be-
cause It Is 'of and from the people' our
officers and our cltlsens. Only on our
government can we depend for the pres-

wronged and outraged we can appeal
with full confidence to our courts.
Stealthy greed and political trickery rosy

a upright judiciary we will fear no evil.
Constantly new questions come up l-

ing Interest will urge to Its limit each
contending right. More unfortunate still
fiollttcal ambition unscrupulously reacti-
