DENVER. Col, Jan. 1.-THE con-
fusion existing in Colorado as the re-
suit of a fight over the selection of a
successor to United States Senator
Henry M. Teller is puzzling even the
most acute political minds. Mr.. VOL
colt and his friends insist that action
looking to the unseating of certain
Democratic members on account of al
legged classifying of returns be taken be-
fore balloting in begun. He charges
some of the Republicans with DELHI
crate delay in the matter because of a
deal with the Democrats which in
volved this subject.
The anti Wolcott Republicans have
maintained all along that no deal be-
tween the Democrats and the anti
Wolcott forces have been made, and
that they will never vote for a Dem
ocrat for United States senator. Among
the several candidates of the anti
Wolcott people Frank G. Goudy, of
Denver, probably has the largest fol-
lowing. Some say that the split in the
Republican party will result in Mr..
Teller's return to the senate. Former
Gov AIva Adams, of Pueblo, also looms
up as a possibility.
The following telegram has been re-
ceived by William Stapleton, editor Of
the Denver Republican. dated WASH
ington, d. c., Jan. IL: 1--WE, in COM
mon with all friends of the Republican
party here, deplore the conditions ex-
listing in the Legislature in your state
now. Anything that will tend to the
defeat of a Republican for the senate
is to be deprecated to the utmost de-
gree. Anything that can help toward
returning a Republican should be con-
sidered of the greatest service to the
party"
This was signed by NJ. A. Hanna and
II. S. Payne.
