we pray Thee, to establish liberty and

pairing the way of Thy Kingdom.

who is the King Of Peace. Thy Son,

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver, Sept. 1.-THE close con-
test between r. v. Brake and #. M.
Hunter for the Democratic nomination
for secretary of state apparently is
greater number Of votes. Returns from
only two counties were missing and
both are believed to have cast q very
light vote. They are Baca and Rio
Grande counties. Brakes total vote,
based upon the present incomplete
figures, is 1876, and Hunter has re-
ceived 12,915. The SS1 vote lead which
Brake has is not sufficient to cause
Hunter to concede the nomination to
Brake and he will wait until the Off
cial canvass Of the returns has been
made before admitting defeat.
The Republican contest between Al
lison Stocker and l.. C. Greenlee has
not changed materially. Stocker still
leads with the narrow margin of 261
votes. His total is 175O6S, to Green
lees 1913.
Charles Leckenby retained his ad-
vantage over T. D. Foster for Demo
cratic nomination for auditor and his
nomination now is assured. The total
vote for this office is: Leckenby, 49,
766; Foster. 17,482.
Upon the final announcements Of the
state canvassing board and the Denver
elections commission depend the re-
suits of these contests in the primary
election which still remain in doubt.
Employees of the election commission
worked hard yesterday to complete the
official totals Of the party votes In
the city. Until they are made public
today it will not be known whether
Benjamin Hilliard or George Allan
Smith received the Democratic nomi-
nation for congressman from Denver.
At last accounts Hilliard was in the
lead by votes.

PINKL-ETS
A Dainty Laxative That Gently AS
ssts Nature.

The day of harsh purgatives, of big
cathartic pills is over-gone forever.
No need any longer to swallow
nauseating dose to give nature the
gentle assistance required. Pinklets,
the new laxative, are tiny, pink
granules, sugar coated, easy to take
and smooth as velvet in their opera
ton.
Pinklets positively will not grippe.
They produce not a single distressing
symptom, yet their action is certain
and thorough.
Pinklets are just the laxative you
need to arouse the lazy, sluggish
bowels and torpid liver. Don't keep
on using harsh, strong purgatives for
they always upset the stomach and
leave the bowels irritated and in a
worse condition than before. Rely on
PinkIets to gently assist the bowels
and be free from constipation.
These little pills are a corrective fer
bad breath, will clear the complexion
and are recommended for torpid liver,
biliousness, headaches and constipa-
ton.
Amy druggist can supply you with
Pinklets, 25 cents per bottle.
Write to the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co, Schenectady, n. Y. for a Pinklet
book which tells all about the right
way to treat eonstipation.-Adv.

The lvrjc Gjee Club,

For ten years or more this organiza

coast as one of the finest and most
popular companies on the platform.
They have appeared on hundreds of
the principal courses in the country.
and in many cases have been returned
again and again. Few attractions are
in so great demand For several
years they have not only filled twenty
weeks or more. each fall and winter
season, for the Century Bureau, but
have been booked in southern chau-
tauquas during the spring months, and
in northern chautauquas the entire
summer. The Lyric Glee Club is an
unusually desirable chautauqua at
traction, on account of their versatility
and their extensive repertoire of both
singing and brass quartet selections.
In addition to their regular tour the
United States Government in 1908 and
again in 1910 sent the Lyric Glee Club
to Panama to entertain the employees
of the Panama Canal. Concerts were
given at all the principal points in
the Canal Zone under the manage
ment of the International Y. NJ. C. A.
On the last tour. side trips were made
to Taboga Island in the Pacific Ocean

make the scope of the working pow
er greatly increased.
The membership committee will
make efforts, between now and the
next meeting, to obtain more names
and will report at the next meeting in

The project of obtaining a carnival
or possibly an indoor circus for this
city was thoroughly discussed, and
dropped upon the suggestion that such
efforts used in this way might possibly
be used to a better advantage when
put forth in another direction.
The matter of interesting the

were: f1z

Erecting a Cold Storage Plant in
Augusta
Building of a Potato House"
Thomas Ingraham reporting on the
matter Of erecting a cold storage
plant. said the idea had been taken
up with the Nj. c. r. r. and that the
representative Of the railroad had
stated, that in view of the fact that
the building of the new bridge makes
7 H. n
definite way TO build one at present.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Ingraham expressed
the view that the committee believed
they could, by steady hammering and
patient arguments, carry the project
through.
An acknowledged fact that Augusta
has done but little to cooperate with
its rural neighbors, was expressed at
the meeting. To make the Capital city
of the State an industrial center, as 1t
has radiating from it electric lines,
and is practically trolley center, the
plan of the board is to push this pro
ject to the utmost.
The board expressed belief the
possibilities of meeting the rural dis
triets on firm footing have no END,
and that such industry would be far
better than carnival or any other
sort of CIRCUS.
The matter of shunting M. {. x. h
cars off onto the Electric Railway was
taken up briefly and is thought to be
a step in the right direction.
