A Concise Account Of Conditions
About the State Committee.
DENVER, Colo, June %. 1906.
To the Republicans Of Colorado:
The Democratic press Is daily circu-
lating the grossest falsshoods in refer
ence to your state committee and its
chairman. Among these misstatements
are some contained in . recent appeal
or address prepared by Mr.. A. M.
Stevenson: It is not necessary for any
Republican in this state to become ex-
ercised over these attacks.
While the charges made in this i'd
dress are wholly untrue. the principles
set forth are those which have always
bsn II hPE.stiss7ty H. present state
organisation and which it adhered to at
q time when Mr.. Stevenson by his own
sections showed . total disregard for
them. Two years ago at the primaries
in his own precinct Mr.. Stevenson.
having reason to believe that the Re-
publicans Of the precinct had decided
against his delegation. refused to per-
NIT the votes to be counted and pre-
vented them from being counted by
waking on with the ballot box under
his arm. Thsrsfsse, the sincerity Of
his recent coavsssien to the principles
Of fair and open primaries is open to
doubt.
CANNOT REFORA REPUBLICANS BY ALI
ANcE WITH DEMOCRATS.
The state organization ard the party
being earnestly in sympathy with the
principles referred to. It is unnecessary
for any Republican to join the Demo
erats In order TO have them carried out.

carry out any particular doctrine or 70
support any particular candidate that

tbs members Of the Republican State
COMMITTEES. I have been chairman Of
this party organization for about five
years, and during that time have never
received aid or encouragement from
Mr.. Stevenson or his associates in fight
ing Democratic misrule or in putting
stop to Democratic election frauds. On
the contrary, factional differences seem
to have kept Mr.. Stevenson away from
state headquarters. except during .
short interval, when these headquar-
ters, during my absence from the state.
were moved by Mr.. Stevenson into .
disreputable resort. where no decent
Republican, man or woman, would dare

Since these headquarters have been
moved into respectable quarters, and
since Mr.. Stevenson's well known bull
dosing tactics In primaries and conven-
doas are no longer permitted to pre-
vail, he has refused to affiliate with the
organization, and has sought through
the columns Of the Democratic press,
in every possible way to disrupt the
party, and to prevent the election Of
its candidates. During his absence
from these headquarters three state
campaigns have been fought and won.
COOPERATION OF ALL REPUBLICANS Is

There ID no reason why any Republi.
can should refuse to visit state head
quarters. The cooperation Of all Re-
