Show Senator Teller's Position. So far no newspaper of standing in the State has approved Senator Teller's defense, de-fense, or rather excuse, of polygamy and Mormonism. There, is but one opinion all over the State concerning him, and that is that he has greatly injured himself and misrepresented the State. Even though it be true, as is charged, that Senator Teller has . been employed em-ployed as an attorney to defend Mormonism there is a universal conviction convic-tion that as a United States Senator he has no right to appear as an attorney for any one save the State and people. To enter into the employ of a particular class' of violaters of the law is to violate the trust reposed in him. It is a grave mistake of the Senator, and one which will cost him the friendship and respect of a large 'majority 'ma-jority of Colorado people. Gunnison Review-Press, 14th. |
