Denver, Colo., Dec. 27.—The Colorado Springs Gazette, which proudly claims to be the oldest Republican paper In Colorado, yesterday threw a large sized bomb Into the senatorial camp of Simon Guggenheim. The Gazette is owned by Clarence H. Dodge, who Is close to the “El Paso crowd,” Idil-gloved element of the Republican patty In this state. The Gazette's bomb was In the form of an editorial opposing the election of Guggenheim. Among other things. It says: "Simon Guggenheim, in the United States senate, would be a Joke, but a most discreditable Joke to Colorado. He would be to this state what Wil liam A. Clark Is to Montana and what J. Edward Addicks tried to be to Dela ware—simply a dollar mark, placed there to show that another state has sold out. "Mr. Guggenheim Is said to have the Republican organization leaders and legislators In Ills support. ljut how did he get them? Did they Hook to Ills banner because of sincere admiration for his qualities as a statesman, his legislative experience, his general fit ness for the place? "No, Indeed. It was simply a com mercial transaction, a clear-cut case of barter and sale. Sir. Guggenheim Is a willing writer of checks. When he was asked to shell out for the good of the party he was never known to re fuse. Mr. Guggenheim has had tht- prlce and quite naturally he expects the men he did business with to dc- liver the goods—and they are prepar ing to discharge their part of the obli gation.” L APPEALS THE CASE OF JAPAN IS.
