HIGHLY RESPECTED CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY.

Mrs William G. Campbell, hair cul-
turist, late of 1885 Stout street, de-
parted this life last Thursday morn
ing at S:55 o'clock after brief i'll
ness of little more than a week from
an acute attack of the heart. Mrs.
Campbell was very popular owing to
her professional sphere and her length
OF residence in Denver, Colo. She
leaves a sorrowing husband, William
c. Campbell, employed at the mint,
an only daughter, Ailene, a nephew,
Thomas Campbell, of the State Insur-
ance Department, besides other rela-
tives and friends to mourn their ire
trievable loss.
She was quite a faithful religious
worker and her many deeds of kind
ness and charitable acts in the COM
munity will furnish a memento to the
minds of those whom she befriended.
The Colorado Statesman extends its
deepest sympathy to the family in
this sad hour commencing them to
the care and keeping of Him Who is
the Arch Consoler. Funeral will be
held tomorrow at 1870 p. m. from
Shorter Church. Rev. Pope officiat-
ing. Douglass Undertaking Company
in charge.

Pastor, j. A. Thos. Hazel, S. T. B.
Sermon Topics: Sunday, August
goth, IL a. m, Concerning the Or
ganization of the Church" $50 p
m, "a distinction Without a Contra
diction'
Amidst the almost incessant show
ers of rain that fell last Sabbath the
faithful of the church found them
selves in their accustomed seats for
worship at both hours of the services.
The pastor delivered his usual mes
sage to the IL o'clock worshippers.
At eventide the Rev. E. NJ. Clark of
the Presbytery of Birmingham, en-
route to the coast preached most
instructive sermon to the audience.
At that service we had the pleasure
of the presence of the Rev. R. L.
Pope of Shorter's and some of his
parishoners. Those friends are cor
daily invited to come again.
Mr.. Americus Hughes, chairman of
the trustee board reported to the con-
gregation last Sabbath the sum total
of s245.45 as special offertory from
the people for the third of last Sab
baths in July. This amount was
apart from the regular offerings for
the respective days. When we take
into consideration our small member
ship of about 100 who did not raise
single cent of this amount thru the
entertainment method, but who made
the sacrifice according to the word
of God, it goes without saying that
the members are moving along right
lines with regards to the financing
the work. The officers and pastor
hereby thank these faithful ones in
Israel for the sacrifice made. The
Mothers Club and the Women's Mis-
sionary Societies contributed $500
each in the venture.

REGISTRATION FOR PRIMARY
ELECTION.
ADVERTISEMENT

Electors of the city of Denver and
state of Colorado have at last real
ized the Importance of the primary
election, and those who did not exer-
else the franchise owing to fault of
their own, or to some irregularity or
misunderstanding with the elections
commissions office are given an op-
portunity to register from now until
Friday, September 8, 1916. The expe-
rience we have derived from all
classes of voters in our city makes
it necessary to urge the people to
register, and that now, as procrastina-
ton is generally attended with some
unfavorable result equal to lost time"
which can never be regained. AS is
clearly understood, the primary is the
last of preliminary actions to secure
candidates for the Republican ticket
in the state, and as our state issues
are of paramount Importance and of
special interest to us, every effort
should be made individually and col
woman having the legal right to vote.
Waiting for the last day to register
is neither a wise plan or the best
policy, as one cannot fathom the un-
forseen, and in many instances, our
time may be occupied, or temporarily
departure from the state may preclude
us from being participants in the pri-
mary which is the stepping stone to
the final.
Campaign managers of the Repub-
lican party ought to lend their mate
rial and strong support to insur-
ing every voters name on the list,
and even though it may be at the
expense vi a little Inconvenience or
self-sacrifice, it is well worth the
lack of interest in primary elections
in this state, but now we are glad
to note that the average elector is be-
coming better political student, and
therefore he is enjoying things that
will serve his best interests, preserv-
ing his rights and giving him the only
weapon he can successfully use in op-
posing all comers. With these facts
in mind, the Colorado Statesman
hopes every one will take advantage
of this privilege, enjoy another of our
constitutional liberties proving once
more that the power of the franchise
makes all men equal under our Amer
lean Republican institution, and if we
measure up to its possession, there can
be no doubt as to our being far re-
moved from the ill consequences that
before those who are unmindful OF
their great loss-the result of non-in-
terest in their most valuable asset.
Our advice is REGISTER! REGIS
TER! and show the real worth of
American citizenship.

always been a favorite and popular
worker for Republican principles,

announcing his candidacy, Mr.. Stark
stated that: IF am nominated and
Quoted to the best of my ability with

burning words and should carry
weight with all voters. Mr.. Stark is
peculiarly fitted for the position of
District Attorney, with strong, Wig

for fairness and square dealing, with
out single stain. He will make

have begged him at times to allow
his name to be presented before the
conventions, but he had the laudable
ambition to be found working in the
ranks. He has never turned deaf

worthy cause.
He is made of the material that 1t
takes to make a good public official,
and his great executive ability and
fine legal knowledge amply fits him
in every way to make splendid Of

Mrs. Isabelle Stewart, president OF
the Colored Woman's Republican
League and Mrs. Parthenia George
were named on the reception commit
tee for making arrangements in the
Denver reception to be given the Hon.
Charles E. Hughes on Saturday, Aug.
26, at an enthusiastic meeting held at
the Brown Palace Hotel last Tuesday
evening.
Recognition was given these persons
for their faithful and loyal services to
the Republican party before and since
they possessed the franchise, and an
other blow to the bulwarks of pre-
judice that only the Republican party
can give. We are sure that further
recognition will be given these women
as well as others who are interested
in the welfare of the Negro and the
substantial advantages to be gained
from and thru the best supporters
We have.

OBITUARY..

Theodore Baker, who departed this
life Saturday, August 5th, was viewed
by a host of friends and schoolmates
of both races. He was secretary of
the Peoples Presbyterian Sunday
School Mission, of which Mrs. M. E.
Morrison is superintendent. She
states he was a most ardent worker;
would go from home to home and
even upon the streets beseeching the
children to attend Sunday School.
Mrs. Leona Barker, mother, brothers
and sister kindly extend thanks to the
many friends for the financial aid and
floral offerings, the personal service
rendered by the superintendent and
Sunday School. The superintendent
states that such a character as Theo-
dore represented until the time of
trouble, which resulted in instant
death, was an example for any Christ
like boy or girl; his absence is most
keenly felt by the Sunday School.
Rev. Murphy officiated and was ably
supported by members of his own
flock, who are better known as the
Sweet songsters of Israel" From the
beautiful chapel of the Denver Mortu-
ary to Riverside was laid to rest.

local interest been evinced in a circus
event as has been displayed this sea-

ised that the show will display more
new and novel features than ever be-
fore, including 100 new acts from

gorgeous and stupendous Oriental dis
play ever presented in America.
Among the foreign circus novelties
to be seen for the first time this sea-
son are four troupes of wonderful
Chinese performers direct from Pekin.

Signor Bagonghi, famous dwarf eques-
trian from Italy; James Teddy, cham
pion jumper of the world: Pallenberg's
two troupes of trained bears, and a
host of other novel acts too numerous
to mention individually.
The Barnum & Bailey circus is
travelling this season on five trains,
made up of eighty-nine cars. More
than 1,400 persons are carried in the
various departments of this great
show, which also included an enlarged
menagerie of 1Os cages and forty-one
