Fred l.. Ballard, Esq. Colorado
Springs, Colo.
Dear Mr. Ballard:
In your letter Of March 1Sth you ask
me TO state whether II is my intention
to seek the Republican nomination for
United States senator. am glad OF
this opportunity to state to you and
those interested. the conclusions
reached by me after . most careful
consideration.
For sine time have earnestly
wished that II might be my privilege
to serve the people Of Colorado-iny
native state. having been born In Colo
RADIO Springs forty-one years ago next
wesk-in this capacity. The expressed
confidence OF my friends In my capa-
biiity to I'll this office has been q
most high and generous compliment
and has led me TO think seriously OF
the matter from many points OF view.
but the welfare OF the Republican
party Of this state under existing po-
htioal conditions must control the 40
tion Of individuals. The party has q
brilliant and honorable record In the
history Of Colorado and the nation; II
yields place to no other party in its
loyalty to the government OF the
United States or in its resolve to
force successful termination Of the
great struggle In which our country is
engaged.
Praises Waterman's Loyalty.
The essential TO present success Is
that the party be strongly united and
that internal conflicts and dissensions
be avoided, and 1t seems to me that
under present conditions my duty is
clear when II is recalled that already
a Republican Of high standing, Of con
eeded great intellectual ability and OF
absolute loyalty and integrity and
having prior claim. arising from long
er service than mine. for the favorable
consideration OF the party-Mr
Charles w. Waternian-has already
formally announced his candidacy.
An absolute unity of party action is
the imperative demand Of the hour,
and entertaining this deep conviction
l wish to put In practice that which
believe; and therefore. have concluded
that II 10 In the interest OF party har-
mony and success that should not
seek the nomination at this time.
II Is my hope that contests at the
primaries which might ultimately lead
to rancor and thence posslbly to, lack
Of unity of effort at the election, may
be avoided by agreement upon candi
dates Of unimpeachable integrity and
efficiency In advance Of the primaries

clusion has been deeply effected by
the belief that could b sf more serv-
