in one of the factories owned by Golden
Rule Jones. He told of many experiences
with men of labor, whom he always
found true to the core and always ready
to help their fellows over the rough
places along life's highway. DR.. Tan
ner is an earnest, sincere Christians, and
wants to be of real help to the people.
His heart beats with those who toll for
wages, and that is why he has taken
up this work at the Peoples Tabernacle.
He is bound to exercise wonderful in
fluence for good and uplift. There ara
no ceremonials at the Tabernacle and no
collections-at least none was taken up
last Sunday night. Those who want to
hear sermons or lectures that strike the
human note and ring with cheer, should
hear DIR. Tanner Sunday nights at the
Peoples Tabernacle.
Aspirants for the state supreme court
bench seem to look upon endorsement by
the Colorado Bar association as a Jonah,
and well they may, for no one yet Sc
lected by the lawyers primaries has been
able to convince the voters of being the
right man for the job. The association
is now going thru its usual process of
to run for the supreme court bench in
the state election this fall. The first
vote by mail, which is sort of entry
tryout, has been taken. Judge George
w. Musser and Judge George W. Allen
were among the leaders. Each, however,
has written William w. Grant, chairman
of the associations committee on nomi.
nations, requesting that their names be
left off any forthcoming ballots, as they
do not wish to be designated as candt-
dates of the Colorado Bar association.
They realize that the plain people have
taken a notion to choosing their own
judges and the old fashion of the law
yers picking them out is not popular any
more. Therefore, any man who becomes
a candidate for the supreme court this
fall, with the bar primary endorsement,
will enter the race with a heavy handi-
cap. Such an endorsement is bound TO
establish firm prejudice in the minds
OF the rank and file voters of all polit-
ical parties.
Now that the Denver city charter elec.

one OF the four delegates at large after
lively scrap, which gave evidence that
he will have hard fight on his hands
