....There is a refreshing directness
in Colorado politics that is not without
its charm. Mr.. jerome b. Chatlee.
who wants to be the next Governor.
writes a red-headed letter to Senator
Bowen, in which he says: You can't
be friendly with Hill and me at the
same time You can't ride two horses"
To which the wrathful Bowen answcrs:
Il wish YOU to understand, damn YOU.
that neither can two l!orses ride me-"
The grammar of this may not be all
that is desired. but the point and the
pith of the interchange are refreshing.
