MIR. Charles Davis of Erie, repuo-
lican candidate for county clerk.
Why did YOU write the following
letter?
Denver. Colo, April 20. 1904.
Mr.. Charles Davis, Erie, Colo.
Dear Sir:-I desire TO thank you
and Mr.. Churchill for the assistance
you rendered me in securing the pay
ment of the appropriation made me
by the last legislature. | shall al
ways gratefully remember the part
Won bows took in my behalf, and any
service | can be to you in the future
shall be please to render any time.
Yours truly,
'E. f. Won GOHREN.
Is this your signature, Mr.. Won
Gohren?
Were you sincere when you wrote
the above?
Were you satisfied at that time?
Did you, as you say. appreciate
whit had been done for you and the
efforts made in your behalf?
What did you mean when you said
''any service l can be to you in the
future shall be pleased to render
any time?n What service did you
refer to, Mr.. Won Gohren?
Why did you about six months
afterwards write the following letter?
THE oxford Hotel.
Denver. Colo. Oct. $. 1904.
Mr.. Charles Davis, Erie, Colo.
Dear Sir The doctors and the
hospital has taken every dollar OF
money that | have up to date, and
Mrs. Won has two weeks more to stay
in the hospital, and l myself am
under an operation for my wound
again and am without money.
Would it be be possible for you and
Mr.. Churchill to go on my note for
insurance money coming to me and
have about three hundred dollars
worth of furniture at the Springs
which by that time l could turn SO
as to pay you by that time. With
kind regards ] am yours truly,
'VON GOHREN.
sd. S.-See Churchill at once
ABOUT this matter: at least let me
hear from you. Won"
Are these your signatures. Mr..
Won Gohren?
Were you sincere and honest when
you wrote this?
Did you still consider the person
to whom this was addressed your
friend?
Why did you call upon him for
assistance, aid and help in your many
misfortunes and Affections?
If Mr.. Davis was such friend
that he could be called upon on the
sth of October in cases of emergency,
why was it that you had change of
heart within nine days after when
the letter appeared in the Greeley
Tribune over your signature?
Why is it that during this interval
and since you are found in the com
pany of your democratic and indie
pendent republican friends?
Who did write that Tribune let
ter, Mr.. Won Gohren?
Why was it that you ON. October
8, 1904, would write to friend for
aid and when this friend refused to
be held up on the 18th day OF
October this alleged letter in the
Tribune appeared?
Another pertinent inquiry your
many wondering friends (?) would
like to make is whether that note is
yet signed and for what amount?
Why is it, Mr.. Won Gohren, that
you are the only man who has ever
been able to say aught against Mr..
Davis until just on the eve of cleo
tion?
Have you ever taken the trouble
to compare his standing in the COM
munity where he has lived twelve
years and where he is known with
your standing in the community
where you have lived and where YOU
are known?
What do you think of man. Mr..
Won Gohren, who for a few paltry
dollars for himself will attempt to
besmirch the honor and integrity of
a man who had befriended him, and
cast ignominy and approbrium upon
his family?
When we read the above articles
in the Sun today we were nonplussed.
We confess it looked plausible. While
not at any time denying to The
Tribune or in any published report,
tie fact that they received $1,000 as
Mr.. Won Gohren charges, yet refus-
Ing to make any reasonable explana-
