We desire to say,to the readers
OF this column that we feel very
much encouragcd..in our Tempe
rance work and enter into the
conduct OF this column with re-
newed zeal for 1912, grateful in
Iced that we have been able

by the creeds OF others whose
lives have been devoted TO the
cause of Temperance, to awaken
and help quite a number who
have been kind enough to say
so, by letter, phone and other
wise.
One manly, noble fellow writes
that the column has enabled him
to resolve with Gods help never
to spend another cent for whisky
and to be more loyal t. his home
and family, Says he has spent
many dollars for the vile stuff
that his faithful little wife need
ed at home. May God bless this
man and may he feel ever be-
meath him the everlasting arms
OF the blessed Christ who was
tempted in all points as we are
yet without sin, and for every
temptation hath made an escape
for us.
We are very much gratified to
report a splendid Loyal Tempe
rance LEGION" organized in No
vember at New Prospect church
in the Kingdom neighborhood
with twelve members who have
pledged themselves to add their
mites Of help illness for God, and
home and native land, These
dear young people with the in
spiration OF their lady manager,
Miss Mable Robertson, who has
been engaged in the Temperance
work in Texas, will doubtless &c
complish much by their efforts
and good influence. They are
pursuing a course of study thus
informing themselves in the work.
They meet each Sabbath after
noon. We extend them the glad
hand and bid them God speed in
the noble work they have es-
poused. hoping that they may
have the JOY OF seeing their work
develop into glorious fruition.

plete for president, give: Wilson 69,-

six outside counties complete, for
governor, give Ammons tDem) 63,S72;

Statewide prohibition probably has
been defeated.
The complete vote in the 1S2 pre-
cincts in Denver for president is
Wilson, 26,453; Taft SIG; Roosevelt,
2l, l03. For governor, Ammons (Dem)
24,271; Costigan, (Prog) 22,646; Parks
(Rep) 1852.
In many of the outside counties the
count has proceeded so slowly that it
is probable definite figures from these
districts will not be available before
the official canvas.
The figures available indicate that
Wilson's plurality Will approximate
900. The entire state democratic
ticket undoubtedly has been elected
together with Heating and Taylor,
congressman at large, and kindei, and
Seldomridge, congressman from the
first and second districts.
That the democrats have elected a
sufficient number of state senators
and representatives TO insure the Sc
lection OF Shafroth and Thomas as
United States senators appear certain
figured on the meager returns avail
able.
The count on the 80 initiated and re-
ferred bills and constitutional amend.
ment is proceeding slowly. Denver
has given big majority to the James
Peak Tunnel bill, but whether this
will be sufficient to overcome the op-
position in southern and southwest
ern Colorado is uncertain.
