Some red hot shots are fred at
the Morning Yellow by Mr. Napier
and the Avalanche editor.
When a representative of the Av-
alanche called on Mr.. b. I. Napier
and asked him If he had ever re-
ceived such letter from Mr.. Roz-
zelle. Mr.. Napier said:
II never received a letter in my
life from Joe w. Rozzelle. l never
received a line or word on any sub
ject or question from him. The
statement made by the Grand June
tion News of Thursday. November
IA, 1907, is false in every particu-
lar, so far as my name is concerned
in the matter. II Joe w. Rozzelle
wrote any such letter. it was never
received by me. In the first place,
my name is not 'B. f. Napier 1t
Is b. T. Napier and Joe Rozzelle
knows 1t and would never write it
'B. F. as the news alleges.
"The whole scheme is for the pur-
pose of breaking up the democrats
party in Mesa county. By connect
ing someone here Ia the affair, they
hope to bust the party in both coun-
ties by the same stroke. ] will give
$1,000 to any man who Will show
and prove that ever received line
from Joe w. Rozzelle. / knew his
father back in Missouri and also
knew an uncle, who served for some
time as city attorney for Kansas
City. You can say for me that the
statement in the News is absolutely
false in every particular so far as
l am concerned in the article or the
alleged letter as printed by the Grand
Junction News. i never received a
letter In my life from Joe w Roz-
zelle."
In commenting upon the matter
the Avalanche says:
Evidently ky Stevens of the
Pueblo Chieftain Grand Junction
News is so anxious to become United
States senator that he will go to the
extreme of publishing false state
ments that the people may be brought
to his way of thinking. The News
is his tool and Is being worked to
a finish in efforts to prove that the
of the country are the on
ly grafters IN existence.
'At the close of the article in the
News yesterday, we note these words, |
: 'Nuff said. Now what do you think
of that sort OF argument? Evident
ly the News had nothing more to
say on the matter in hand. The |
News may yet learn that 1t should |
have said, TOO MUCH SAID. The
democrats of Mesa and Garfield |
have had their fill of east
ern slope republicanism and will not
stand for gush and lies from the
News, which is the tool of one ky |
who is ambitious to become
United States senator. Back up, lads,
and get better start. You cannot
win by printing such lies as you did |
yesterday. The people know and
will not be fooled into believing a
sheet which was started for the sole
purpose OF boosting the ambitions of
ky Stevens. Your attacks are too
raw. People are next to you and
The gang. They got sample of re-
publican timber when Simon Gug-
genheim was sent to the senate.
Don't want any more men from the |
smelter town. One is enough, two
would be too plenty. Tell the truth
and don't resort to falsehoods like
that of yesterday"
