used in carrying supplies for the soldiers
Is not more than three months on the
average. There are almost no repair
shops, and there aren I even tools available

This sums up few of the difficulties
in the problem that the Young Mems
Christian Association is facing in France at
present, in getting food and other sup
plies for the soldiers to its cantecns,
according to w O. Wilson, Secretary in
Charge of Transportation, attached to

der of the Democratic party at himself
all evening.
George Hosmer, Sam Burris, Mark
Skinner and Tom Annear all came out
for the same positions which they now
hold in the federal government and in
cidentally announced Senator Shat
roth IS coming out for reelection. Nat
urally they made the announcement of
their coming out on the proviso that
the people elect Senator Shafroth.
Judge White of the supreme court had
previously purchased some twenty-five
copies of an article published three
weeks ago in these columns on his SEN
atorial candidacy, and mailed them to
several of his most intimate friends,
thus securing considerable political
chatter for himself as senatorial timber.
He did not really come out for the
job, but he stuck his head far enough
out so that he can force the Shafroth
people to agree to support him for re-
nomination and election to the supreme
bench in order to get him out of the
running.
Harry Glass and Tom lyman had pre-
viously come out for the nomination
for governor, so at Saturdays meeting
all they had to do was to circulate
around among the committeeman, pass
out five cent cigars and make the
statement that their prospects "looked
good.'
Their prospects did not look good
though at that meeting because it was
"a strictly Raymond Miller-J. c. Gunter
meeting, and all of the committeeman
in attendance were for the re-nomina-
tion of Gunter. Nevertheless, the
other gubernatorial candidates circu-
lated around with just as bright smiles
as they could produce.
Friends of John A. Martin of Pueblo
announced his coming out for congress
and the feeling was general around
the Democratic committee that Martin
would grab the nomination from Mr..

were disposed to be lenicnt towards

neither drew a weapon. They had al

when the heavier of the two sprang
into his saddle, gave his horse free

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME
(By Alva A. Swain)

Saturday was coming-out day for the
Democrats of Colorado. Representa-
tives from forty of the sixty-three
counties of the state came out to a
state central committee meeting. It
was the lowest representation at 3
state central committee meeting in
many years. Chairman Miller explained
the absence Of over onethird Of the
membership with the statement that
they were practicing economy and pur-
chasing War Savings Stamps with the
money saved. Those who came out to
the meeting also came out for other
purposes. For instance, Secretary Of
State James holland came out for re-
election. State Auditor Charles Leck-
enby came out ~ q candidate for state
treasurer. Under our laws neither the
state auditor nor the state treasurer
can succeed himself in Office, 20 the
state treasurer was about all he could
come out for. State Treasurer Bob
Higgins stated he was coming out of
politics for good and was not a candi.
date for anything. Leslie Hubbard, At.
torney general, came out for re-elec.
tion, stating that he never had any in.
tention of running for governor. Mrs.
Mary @. G. Bradford also came out for
reelection, while Governor Gunter
came out Of the inner sanctum of his
war council long enough to announce
orally that if the people felt that he
should give two more years of his life
to the state in the capacity of govern
or, he would sacrifice his personal in
terests and do 30, inasmuch as Le
really felt that the state needed him

THE TEST OF MERIT
Bridgeport People Are Given
 COnvincinu Proof,

No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of kidney medi- cine. Doan's Kidney Pills have stood this test and stood it well. What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Bridgeport resident who used it successfully and tells of lasting results.
 Read the following:
 Michael Brennan, 60 Fourth St., Bridgeport, says: My kidneys were out of order and was sore and lame across my back. I had bad spells of dizziness and my kidneys acted ir- regularly, which caused me annoy ance. used Doan's Kidney Pills with satisfactory results. The pain in my back disappeared and the ac- tion of my kidneys became regular" Statement given September 23, 1914)
 LASTING RESULTS.
 On December 4, 1916, MT. Brennan said: "Doan's Kidney Pills put my kidneys in good shape and made my back strong. I have felt fine ever since and all credit goes to Doan's Kidney Pills. I am past seventy seven years of age, but since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me, I have had little or no trouble with my kidneys" ]"
