Unless Democratic Members of
Colorado House Are Ousted
They May Choose Senator.
SENATE READY TO RETALIATE.
Aspirant for Teller's Seat De
nounces This as Bloody" and
Says Fight Must Proceed
Just the Same.

Denver. Colo, Jan. 17.-Former United
States Senator Edward o. Wolcott, who is
a candidate for election to the seat now
held by Henry NJ. Teller. has issued ar ap-
peal to the Republican members of the
House to unite and expei seventeen Demo
cratic members whose. seats are contested.
Otherwise. he declares, a Democrat will
be elected Senator.
A majority of the seventeen members of
the House who are supporting Wolcott have
signed an agreement that they will vote
first, last and all the time for him for Uni
ted States Senator. and will not cast a vote
for any other candidate.
Representative Frewen, the Wolcott leader
In the House. has served an oral peremp-
tory notice or Chairman Breckenridge Of
the House Committee on Privileges and
Elections, to the effect that unless the COM
mittee reports in favor of arbitrarily I'M
seating all the Democratic member from
Arapahoe County, and unless the vote on
unseating the fifteen men be made Jointly
instead of separately, the Wolcott men will
not vote to seat a single Republican.
DEMOCRATS PLANS.
All the Democratic Senators but one have
pledged themselves to Inseat a Republican
Senator for every Democratic member of
the House unseated. ERn for man. so long
us q hhdi ot "iioAi =
taliation can be had. Concerning this pro-
posed policy of retaliation. Mr.. Wo,cott in
his address to the Republicans. says:
THE threatened importation into the State
Senate by Democrats of the bloody methods
which have forever blackcned~ the good
name of the State Of Kentucky must not
swerve us. The patriotic Republicans in the
State Senate are loyal to their party, any
they are able, backed by a Republican Gov
ernor, to take care of themselves"
Many of the seventeen Republican mem
bers Of the House, who are opposed to VOL
colts efaction, are Pledge not to vote for
him under any circumstances. and will not
join in any caucus for the purpose Of select
ing a senatorial candidate.
If the Republican factions fail to get to-
gether. senator Teller will be reelected
or a deadlock will result, which may pre-
vent an election Of a senator at this ses-
sion.
h House Committee On Elections will
make its report on the contested seats next
Monday. and it is the intention of the Re
publicans to have it. acted upon by the
House on that day, as the first ballot for
Senator will be taken next Tuesday.
