Power In Two HarIies.
In the councils of the Republican par
~ and subsequent to 1886 in the Demo-
cratic party, senator Teller was pow
er. He bolted the Republican party
during the convention in st. Louis IN
1896. after the gold standard plank had
been adopted His actions in that con-
vention won such reputation for him
in Colorado that Notwithstanding his
remuneration of the Republican party,
he was reelected to the senate, where
he continued his work as one OF the
leaders of that body. He was spoken of
as a candidate for the presidency by the
free silver adherents.
Became Railroad Builder.
One of the late senator's most am
bilious commercial endeaVOrs was the
of the old Colorado rail-
road, pioneer road through the eX-
tremely mountainous sections OF the
state This road later was taken over
by the Colorado & Southern railway and
is in use today.
This road was his dream, and with
the aid of the late Gen. Frederick Grant,
who acted as engineer of the project
the dream was cOnsummated. Senator
Teller was president Of the COLORADO
Central railroad for five years.
Senator Teller ranked high IN Ma
sOnry. He was the first grand com
nander Of Knights Tcmplar of Colora-
10 and for several years was grand
master of the Colorado F. and A N. He

senator Teller would have celebrated
ms 64th anniversary May 70 and had
lived almost IA years longer than he
always said had been his expectation.
In 1903 he finally retired from ubl1c
life and was Orced to live quietly be-
cause Of his falling health.
Arrangements for funeral services
have not been arranged but city and
state officials said today that the
course would be governed by the wishes
Of the family.
AmmOns Suggests Hall of Fame.
That senator Teller should be the
first COloradOan to be given place IN
the hall CT fame at Washington, was
the suggestion made today by governor
Z. NJ Ammons. The governor, VOicing
his personal grief and the sorrow OF the
people of the state at the death OF SEN
atOr Teller, said:
THE death of senator Teller removes
the greatest of the public men who
have lived in the far west during the
past half century. He was state and
empire builder in its broadcast, truest
sense. As a law maker and secretary
of the interior he fathered the policies
under which the public land states
made their bets and greatest growth
and development. Throughout his more
than 80 years in the senate and cabinet
he was faithful to the interests of his
state even to the extremity OF aban-
donment of party when he deemed 1t
necessary. He was a man whose private
life was a model for our boys to follow
and whose public career was full OF
rich accomplishments. He was easily
the first citizen of the state
up to the present time Colorado has
not been represented in the nall OF
fame in the national capitol at WASH
ington. There has been a widespread
feeling among our people that senator
Teller should be the first to bear that
hOaOr Colorado should take pride IN
bestOwing~ this distinction on one VINO
has done for our state and nation so
much splendid service.
Funeral Probably Wednesday.
Governor AmmOns today cOmmun1-
Gated with some members Of the SEN
atOr Teller's family, suggesting that
the body should lie in state in the
capitol so that the state of Colorado
might render last hOnors to senator
Teuer's memory. Decision on this
pcint will be made later when all
members of ne family will have been
consulted. Pending the arrival here
of Addison Teller, brother of senator
Teller. who now is visiting in MOrri-
son, III, the old family home. the
definite funeral arrangements viii be
made, but it was announced that
funeral services probably would be
held Wednesday.
