David Hosansky will present on the controversial 1904 gubernatorial election in Colorado and ensuing First Amendment court case. Governor James H. Peabody (R) ran for re-election against Alva Adams (D) following a polarizing term. Accusations of voter fraud abounded following the 1904 election, which resulted in disputed results and Colorado having three different governors in a single day in March 1905. Historians consider the election the most corrupt in Colorado state history. Join us at The Simon to learn all about this fascinating moment in the state's political history.
