IS THIS AN ANSWER?

Gunnison Republican--Does Mr..
McDougal dare pledge himself not
To vote for Charley Thomas in
preference to Henry NJ. Teller?
Well of all things, L. this an
answer to our inquiry of Mr.. Ed
wardes as to whether he would
vote Tor Wolcott under any cir
cumstances' orinstance if VOL
colt became the caucus nominee.
Everyone in Gunnison county
unless it be Mr. .Sills knows that
Judge MeDougal pledged himself
to support Teller first, last and all
the time within hall an hour of his
own nomination. Both state
and county platforms pledge him
todo 40. Thefake story of demo-
cratic representatives supporting
Thomas added long ago.
But how about the positive fact
that :. h. Edwardes will if elected
vote for the republican caucus
nominee, and that nominee sure
to I've +. -. Wolcott?
