The county democratic ticket is sue
cessful by majorities ranging from
140 to 429. Thompson, for represen
tative, leads the list. For variou.
reasons a very light vote was cast
probably less than TOO all told. Thi.

was there much apathy concerning
the election but over 300 voters have
gone to war. This, added to the quar-

majorities.

dates, and where the fear and hate OF
the Denver Post is stronger than else
where in Colorado.
At any rate, Phipps, republican
candidate for senator came out OF
Denver with 5000 majority, and
Shoup beat lyman with plurality OF
5000. These figures will probably
hold for the state.
At last reports, holland for secre-
tary of state and possibly Leckenby
for treasurer and Mrs. Bradford fol-
supt of schools, have escaped the re-
publican deluge and are elected.
Congressman Taylor is elected as
usual from the Fourth District, with
10000 majority, the only democratic
congressman in Colorado. Guy Har-
dy defeats Heating badly in the Third
District. Taylor carried Gunnison
county by 573, Mesa county by 1900,
Montrose by 500, Garfield by 800. In
fact, in . telephone conversation with
Mr.. Taylor election night, News
Champion learned that he probably
carried every county in his district

COME ACROSS FOR THE BOYS
WHO HAVE GONE ACROSS
(By Margaret White OLeary)

(By Margaret White OLeary)
The president of the United States
and the Secretary of War have set
the date of November lib inclusive
when we are to be given an opportu-
nifty to repay small part of the graf
itude we owe to the youths who have
marched out of our homes to uphold
the traditions Of a glorious bravery
and an honor that has never been
furnished. Whether on the blood-soak-
ed fields Of France or the Venetian
plains; whether on the Murman coast
in Northern Russia, or in black Siber-
il, or in our camps and cantonments,
they are spreading the gospel of dem
ocratic government and they are
fighting not only for the liberties of
American citizens, but for the free
dom of the whole world.
Several millions of men in all have
been withdrawn from the civil occu-
pations and peaceful pursuits of ordi-
nary life, and placed in conditions
which, ordinarily would not be con-
ducive to their moral welfare. Right
here is where the United States gov
enment showed that her interest in
her fighting forces was more than
paternal. She banished from her
camps and cantonments the curse of
drink and other evils characteristic
of war-racked times. Her action in
this, however, was not merely prohib-
tive; it was constructive as well, for
with all the wisdom of a far-sighted
ed mother, she sought to surround her
soldier boys with safeguards which
would protect them from evil and keep
them healthy and happy. You need
not be told that, without these wise
precautions, the morale Of the Ameri-
can army would not be the glorious
thing it is today.
With this end in view, she welcomed
the cooperation Of various organiza-
tions, which, seeing the opportunity
for doing good presented to them,
offered their services to the govern
ment for It's accomplishment. These
agencies are the Young Mems Chris
tiAn Association, the Young Woman's

uted to the malign influence of the
Denver Post, supporting lyman and
Shafroth. Others think the endorse
ment of the Non Partisan League hurt
the ticket, and still others think that
the presidents request for party sup
port in congress was ill-timed and re-
acted by making the republicans work
harder.
There is much interest in the re-
suits over the "bone-dry" law. No
definite figures are available. With
but half the precincts reporting, the
measure received 384 favorable votes
in this county with 348 against.

lance race for the University Of Chi
cago, and who later tried to make an
athlete of the German crown prince,
