PASSING Of TELLER
SUCCESSOR ELECTED TO COLO.
RADIOS BRILLIANT SENATOR.
Has Unique Record in That He Has
Served IS Years as Republican
and IL Years as Democrat
Without Interruption.

Washington.-Press dispatches re-
Gently announced simply that Charles
]. Hughes of Denver has been elected
to the United States senate to succeed
Henry M. Teller. Literally that was
all. Politically there was much more.
It was that the election of Mr.. Hughes
marked the passing of Henry Moore
Teller, the grand old mar of the
Rockies.
During one.third Of a century Mr..
Teller, to a greater or lesser extent,
has been continuously before the eyes
of the nation. For a large part OF that
time he held high rank in the councils
of his party. Few ADLER men have
come out of the west and one who
longer held the affections of his PEG.
pie. Yet when the final summary was
made up, the only mention he received
was that his name was among those
entered.
Mr.. Teller's entry into the senate
was %coincident with the entry Of his
state into the union. His record Is
unique in that he served in that body
IS years as a Republican, and then
without missing a day he served II
years more as an Independent and a
Democrat. A few older men bave
been elected to the senate at different
times by political parties Of opposite
beliefs, but a period interviewed in
which they waited for the people to
experience a change. Mr.. Teller re-
pudiated his old utilization and took
10 with the new without Interruptions
In his service.
Since Colorado has been a state one
half of it's representation In the United
States senate, except for three years
has been Henry M. Teller. The othel

Senator Henry N. Teller OF Colorado.
half varied, as one term followed an
other, and the ability and character OF
that representation likewise varied.
Born in New York state in 1880,
Mr.. Teller when he became a young
man, studied law and was admitted to
the bar. He sought the great west in
1858, and as Illinois at that time
seemed to be a long way toward the
setting sun. he came to this state and
began the practice of his profession.
He only remained here two years,
however, as he fo1esaw greater posi-
bilities in the territory Of Colorado.
That his judgment was good when
he decided to take the long Jump to
the new and little known land in the
Rockies was proved by the later events
In his life. Fifteen years afterward.
while the nation was celebrating its
centennial, Colorado was admitted as
a state, and among the first acts of its
legislature was the election Of Henry
NJ. Teller as one of its representatives
In the United States senate.
Chosen as a Republican. he served
In the senate until in April, 1882,
when he was called to President Ar.
thurs cabinet as secretary of the in
terror. Here he twice honored his
state-bringing It an important cabi-
net post after only six years Of state
hood, and being the instrument by
which this distinction was given to a
state beyond the great American
plains.
Mr.. Teller served as secretary Of the
Interior during President Arthur's
term, but near the close of the period
there was a sensational election in
Colorado, and he was offered his old
seat. He accepted it, and when his
work as cabinet member ended on
March 1, 1885, he walked over to the
capitol and took the oath Of Office o. q
senator.
A few years later the money Ques
ton began to make trouble for mer
In public life. and what was destined
to be MI. Teller's greatest p%olitica
sorrow began to take form. A f1nancia
stringency, followed by the repeal o
the Sherman act, precipitated the fret
silver controversy upon the country
and Mr.. Teller, an ardent advocate o
free coinage, found himself In confic
with many Of his political associates.
Subsequent developments are of to-
recent occurrence to require recount
ing here. Mr.. Teller was approachin,
the end Of his third senatorial tern
His state was overwhelmingly for 81
yer, but a majority Of the leaders 9
the Republican party in the country a
large were bending their efforts to ol
tain a declaration for the gold stant
ard. The crisis for the Colorado ma
was near at hand. 1t came with th
Republican national convention at s
Louis in 1896.
