LATURE
To the Enterprise:

just q word Of caution. Also little
news. ! presume you feel like ! did
when found that they had trieked Us
and got an adverse report on the cal
ender between one evening and the
next. was sore and said so to Ten
and jacobs and Darrow. In yies of
that fact. j, may seem that have no
right to advise you To keep cool now.
However because made mistake is
no reason why you should indulge the
same luxury. Winburn was in hard
place. but feel that he wouli have
stood just as well il he had given US a
stronger boost At present be did not
please the Greeley people and they may
MT him hAnier than We do. lie made
fairly good talk for us and one ser-
Itor asked him how h. WAS gong TO
vote. He answered II am going TO
vote for the county," Some one else
AsSed how he wanted them to vote.
and be- replied: Il don't care" Wiz
burn voted with Us. No. We may
need Wnboum. ! would suggest that
you 20 no further in criticism Than to
say that we are sorry he could not see
his way clear to come the whole way
with US, and to admit his difficult po-
sition. We have got a hard proposit-
ion before Us. Greeley has awakened
To the fact that our taxes are Aot SO
small part Of Weld county revenues
~ thy may have thought
II you wish to comment on the act
ion Of Gilcrest. you cannot put it too
strong. He stood with US like a man
all the way.
| would suggest that for the future,
it would be- . good thing To have good
cordial letter 90 to all Of the senators
who voted with US especially. the fel-
lows who have another term to serve,
thanking them for their work, and to
those who voted against US. telling
them we were sorry they felt compeIi-
ed to do a. they did, but hole they
will see the justice Of our claim when
we come again in two years. II you
could do so, II would not be bad idea
10 extend the list TO incl lde the men
whose terms expire this year ind will
not lie back un;ess re-sl.c.ee. Tn y
may bs back. Also the house. A let
ter to each showing that you know how
they voted. thanking those who voted
for il, and to those who went against
II hoping that when they return they
can see II our way. A little postage
spent intthst way might help good
deal and might result in JUS, a vote We
needed. think that We VIII be able
TO reap some advantages from it in
the way OF good reads. feel sure
ihst We can make them come across a
little better than heretofore. OF
course We will not get half what We
should have. but We ought TO get all
we can.
Suggest that you talk over the
idea Of holding meetings again the
coming summer and inviting represen-
tative men from Greeley to meet with
US. Perhaps We can invade the
enemy's territory.
Perhaps we can get to Briggsdalc
with one meeting. Most OF the letters
opposing the division cane from there
that did not originate in Greeley.
Only one member Of the legisla ture
Is in jail and one in an asylum. but
cant tsa how II may be week from
now. However. ! will say that we are
mol half ~ bad as the Post would have
the people believe.
hope that you win not think me
presumptious in offering the above sug-
gessions. but they are only suggest
ions. am sending this To all three Of
