people Of Colorado and the Republican
party that the contest should be pros

covered toward the latter stages OF the
contest that certain members OF the
legislature, elected as Republicans, en-
isHalned feelings OF III will and dis
like toward me personally.
Il shall not attempt In this commu-
nicalion to ylndlcate myself against
what | conceive TO be personal en-
nifty unwarranted by the facts and un-
generous TO a degree; suffice II to say
that am now painfully conscious Of
It's magnitude.
