two legally elected senators. There is,
however, no other legally constituted
senate, as might have been but for
this conspiracy (referring to the al
legged combination between Democrats
and anti-Wolcott Republicans. and it
is now too late to undo the wrong and
by unseating the fraudulently elected
members from Arapahoe county insure
the valid election of a Republican SEN
ator.
Wicked and unforgivable as is the
wrong done the Republican party, yet
from the point of view of the highest
citizenship there is but one thing to be
done, and that is for the people to ac-
cept the deplorable situation and the
governor of the state to issue a certifi-
cate of election to Mr. Teller
Mr.. Wolcott says that important
matters requiring legislative action viii
be coming up and will demand all the
time and attention of the legislature,
therefore the senatorial contest should
not be further continued
Tribute to Teller.
Speaking of Mr.. Teller, the ex-sena-
tor saws that in no sense was he a
party to the frauds above referred to,
although he was the beneficiary He
pays the following tribute to the sena-
tOr-elect:
'He has served Colorado nearly a
generation at Washington, and what
ever may be our regret that he no
longer marches in the ranks of the
party which has so highly honored
him, every citizen of the state wishes
him health and strength and believes
that he is singIe-minded in his devo-
ton TO the material interests of the
state.7
Mr. WolcOtt concludes his statement
by saying that for himself he has not
the slightest sense of personal disap-
pointment. nor does he cherish rancor
toward anybody. He declares that he
will always be found in the ranks of
the Republican party of Colorado.

WOLCOH SEES THE LIGHT
Declares Senator Teller Legally Elected Advises to
Sign His Credentials and Goes Way
Back to Sit Down.

n ENVER. Colo, Jan. 25.-The eli.
~ max in the sena toriaI fight in
Colorado came tonight when ex-
Senator f. o. Wolcott, the candidate
of the so-called ''stalwart'' wing of the
Republican party. announced his prac-
teal withdrawal from any further con-
test and urged the people of Colorado
to accept the situation as it stands by
the election yesterday of Senator Hen
ry NJ. Teller to succeed himself by the
joint session Of the Democratic sena-
tors and representatives. The an
nOuncement was made in a signed
statement in which Mr.. Wolcott
charges certain Republican leaders as
ISOLATED with the anti-Wolcott forces
in the Republican ranks with treach-
cry, deliberate and continuous, al
though he dispOses of others of the
anti WOlcott crowd by characterizing
them as "dupes" of the main conspira-
tors. He refers to the refusal of the
Wolcott members of the house to
unseat the Democratic members from
Arapanoe county, and calls it "a crime
against the Republican party and
against Justice" Mr.. Wolcott declared
that Lieutenant Governor Haggot,

senators whose seats were undisputed

Joint Session Was Legal.
Continuing. Mr. Wolcott says:
There were three joint sessions of the
general assembly. At the last one
fifty-one Democrats voted for Teller.
No other joint session had been held
and no Republicans had voted in a
Joint session. The election of Mr.. Tel
Ter was tinetured with fraud; first in
the trickery of adjournment by the
Democrats of the house: second. in the

eral viii be in command. The men will
be drilled in field exercises and the
operations will be the same as if they
were actually engaged in a hostile
country. Besides the field work, there
viii be exercises, sham battles. field en-
trenchments, bridge building, field for

ing In the latter arrangement the men
VIII be served with rations and taught
TO do their own cooking.
For the field work the men will be
divided into two forces and be con-
stantly operating against each other in
this work. For instance, one column
may have to force a march to Ogden
and start back On the return they
may be met by another force and
taken. if possible. OF course, they will
work the same as if they were in the
enemy's country. They will not know
where the opposition viii come from
excepting in a general way. One side
viii be constantly on the aggressive,
and the other side will have TO work on
the defensive.
Work in the Field.
Again, one force may have to take
a wagon train and start for Provo. The
second column will have instructions
10 Intercept it. according to the plans
OF a regular campaign 1t is probable
the men will be here for ten days or
two weeks. 1t is the intention to have
the regiments all here at the same time
instead of having divisions, as at
Peekskill. Each state usually allows
the men $1.60 per day and furnishes ra-
tons and transportation. The war de-
partment may provide for the men
from the sustenance department of the
regular army. but usually each state
takes care of its own men.
I presume that these camps will be
held annually. 1t depends upon what
congress will do in the matter of appro-
priations. II il should fail TO make
provisions for the necessary appropri-
ations, of course. they would have to
be abandoned, so far as the army de-
partment is concerned. While the
guardsmen get the benefit of the reg
ular army drills they will be under the
discipline ftheir own officers. If con-
gress makes the appropriations as now
expected the mobilization of the troops

be held in a different section of the
west each year.
Appropriation by Congress.
Il hardly believe congress would pre-.
pare for the annual encampment with
cot providing also for the necessary
appropriations. Still, there is a law
today which provides for the payment
of 81 to any person who brings a re-
cruit that is accepted by the army. The
dollar cannot be paid, however, be-
cause there is no longer any appropria-
ton for this reward"

pected will be represented at the COM
