Dear Sir-f, through the kindness
of friends. a contract for the publica-
tion of the legal advertising of the
proposed constitutional amendments to
constitution of the state of Colorado
for the year 1902 can be secured for
your paper, will you make subscrip-
tion of fifty dollars (s5O) to the repub-
lican state central committee cam
paign fund. and make an order on the
money due you for the publication of
the amendments to pay that amount
to the chairman of the committee?
The legal fees for publication of
these amendments in your paper and
for your county are 1918. 80. and you
will have to insert the notice in five
issuse of your paper.
Please answer by wire. in care of
the republican state central committee
No. 1925 Champa street. Denver,
Colo, and if possible contract and or
der will be forwarded to you at once
for your signature. An early reply
will oblige.
Yours respectfully,
R. L. CHAMBERS.
P. S.-Please sign inclosed order
and subscription and return to me at
the above address. The printing con-
tract will be forwarded to you
soon Assuming your acceptance of
this, of course we expect some ener-
getic, loyal support to the republican
ticket for the favor.
Attached to the letter were the fol-
lowing orders:
hereby subscribe the sum of fifty
dollars (S5O), to be paid to the Repub
lican state campaign committee of
Colorado for campaign purposes, pay
able only from the fees due from the

constitution of the state of Colorado

blunder of some one at republican
headquarters, one of the letters was
mailed to the owner of democratic

account.
r. l.. Chambers who wrote the
above letter and about fifty six others
just like it, is an attorney of Colorado
Springs and member of the advisory
committee.
While the weekly papers were ex-
petced to contribute $50 to the fund
for the reelection of Mr.. Wolcott, the
printing were expected to part with
$500 each. as they would each receive
81, for the work, while the week
les We're entitled to only $237. The
total rake off, will be about $4, 500.
Frank Howbert, the collector of in
ternal revenue and Wolcotts' manager
in the present campaign, is credited
with having originated and carried
out the plan. 1t is said that the
agreement was that chairman Farley
was to act merely as collector, and
that he was expected to turn over the
money to the populist campaign com
mittee, to defray the expenses of their
political battles.
The scheme will probably be con-
sumated. so far as the signing of the
orders and the printing of the amend
ments is concerned, but when Mr..
Farley and the editors undertake to
collect they may discover that the
auditor and treasurer will refuse to
honor their claims.
Secretary of State Mills said last
night: II know nothing whatever
about any arrangement by which any
newspaper proprietor would pay any
proportion of what he might receive
for printing the amendments to any
body else. l did not know such let
ters had been sent out until informed
of it,
l have felt that the populists We're
not fairly treated by the democrats
and with that idea in mind l have
not felt that the democratic papers
had any special claim to the printing
of the amendments, except few of
them to which l had made promises
that 1 have kept. Some time ago l
asked Frank Hobert or somebody to
furnish me with list of the republic
an papers in the state and that is all
have had to do with them. Since
