Daring the years of his presiden-

''uchtel las been persistent foe of
the State Oh educational institutions.
lie has Travelled from one end of the
state To the other systematically and
unworthily denouncing our colleges
and universities. HIS attacks have
taken every form which his ingenu-
Ily might suggest. Instructors of
public schools, principals of high
schools, and all who he thought
might have influence with the par
erts oi the youth OF our State have
been enlisted by him So far as pos
slbie in his campaign against state
institutions. These charges are
backed up by proof which cannot be
controver,ed and which, indeed the
Rev Bnch,el will not deny. II the
attitude Of the Rev. Buchtel in the
past toward these institutions can
be taken as an indication Of his posi-
ton with reference TO them in the
futuee, then the friends of the sever
al state schools and the public GEN
orally may know what to expect
should he be elected TO the Govern
orship.
The people Of Colorado who have
already contributed so literally 10
the State University at Boulder. the
School Of Mines AT Golden, the Agri-
cultural College at Fort Collins and
the State Normal schools will think
twice before they elect a man to the
executive chair OF the State who. by
his actions in the past. has declared
himself an avowed enemy Of those
institutions.
