6AouAd VI JlO SOllLCSt, has UCCu prov
en- by events as they transpired up
to the present time. Should those who
are fighting Mr.. Wolcott in his own
party remain firm in their opposition
to him, there is little doubt but that
he will be defeated.
What WaIcott Charges.
Mr.. Wolcott and his friends insist
that action looking to The unseatiny
OF certain democratic members of
the house lecause of alleged frauds
in the ballot end returns be taken be-
fore ballotiEg is begun on the senator
ship. He charges his republican OPP
ponents with deliberate delay in this
matter because of a deal with the
democrats which involved ibis ques-
ton.
con the face of the returns the leg
islature now stands As republicans, of
whom "a or a majority of three are
members of the lower house, and 55
democrats. Gross frauds concerning
which the evidence is ~indisputable,
should lead to the unseating of IL
fraudulently elected democrats in the
house.
Before the legislature assembled II
of the republican house members ask
ed a caucus to name a speaker. The
other II republicans under the leader
ship of P. B. Stewart, Mr.. Goudy and
others, refused a caucus and entered
into a combination with the demo-
Gratis, by the terms of which they
were to name foul members of the
committee on elections, and the chair
man "a republican satisfactory to
them, and the organization of the
house, including the speaker, the COM
mittees and the patronage given to
these IL republicans. Some of these
II republicans have, it is said, stated
they will refuse to caucus on the Sc
lection of a senator.
Every friend of mine, including the
II members who asked for a caucus,
is anxious to have a speedy vote on
the %unseating of these f~raudulently
elected democrats; but there is grave
danger that, because of this deal,
there will be no action on eXpelling
them until after the goth, when yot-
ing for the senatorship commences.
eff the legislature shall be made
republican on joint ballot before a
senator is elected all that l or my
friends ask is that he shall be chosen
in free and fair conference or caucu
by the republican members"
From the Other Side.
The anti-Wolcott republicans have
maintained all along that no deal with
the democrats and the anti-Wolcott
forces has been made and that they
will never vote for a democrat for
United States senator. Among the
several candidates of the anti-Wol-
colt people, Frank G.. Cloudy of Den
yer probably has the largest follow
ing. Some knowing n say that the
split in the republican party will re-
suit in Mr.. Teller's return to the sen
ate and should the contested seats
in the house be given to the demo-
. Gratis there is but little doubt that
Teller would be chosen, as he was in
dorsed by the democratic state con
Nentlon and by nearly all the county
conventions.
However, former Governor Al7a
Adams of Pueblo looms UP as a pos
sibility. That the contest in Colorado
has aroused national interest is evil
denced by the following telegram, re-
ceived by William Stapleton, editor
of the Denver Republican, a leading
