Colorado Legislature set for great canvass on election reform
Denver dispatch reports the Colorado legislature preparing to canvass state officers with a cautious plan to read the governor’s message after a lengthy caucus. The message urges a modern primary registration law and voting machines, condemning current fraud. It also calls for an eight hour labor law and prohibition of boycotting and unfair lists by unions. A light, peaceful outlook accompanies the session, with a comic remark by Representative Bromley about railing. Nearby briefs note typhoid deaths in Indiana and a fine for medical practice without license in Elkhart.
