DENVER, Colo. Oct. S.-The yer reached thirty-seven tonight, with the addition of seven victims since Monday night. Reports of new cases poured in to the office of Health Com missioner W. H. Sharpley all day but the city authorities were confident that they have the situation we'll in hand.
 One baby, Alberta Louise Bruitt, aged 3 years, was among those who suceumbed, making the first case in which an infant has fallen prey to the epidemic.
 Two district draft boards discon- tinued the physical examinations of class A men today because of pre- yalence of inwluenza in their imme- diate neighborhoOd.
 The epidemic also resulted in the abandoning of plans for the celebra- ton of Columbus day. A monster mass meeting. at which Judge Albert Nortoni of Kansas City. was to have been the principal speaker, was be- ing arranged.
 Reports received by state authori- ties from various parts of the state show that the epidemic is general all over Colorado. A number of new cases have developed in Delta. resulting in the closing of the schools. The school of mines ct Golden is quarantined but will not close unless conditions be- come worse.

RALLY AT THE POLLS
FOR A REPUBLICAN, CONGRESS.

The Tribune is for Unconditional Sur
render. SO is the Republican party,
and we hope the Republican party and
patriotism viii win at the polls through
out the country next Tuesday.
In this congressional district Republi-
cans are conceded the victory in adj
vance. Nothing, however, is certain
but death and taxes. Every Republican
in the district should turn out, and not
only vote. but pull for their party can
didate till the last ballot is cast. Let s
make the majority for patriotism, win
the war first and unconditional surren-
der as emphatic as possible. Any re-
suit to the contrary would be calamity.

KEEP TRACK OF PEOPLES MONEY

The American people have willingly
raised the billions of dollars which have
been appropriated, and they are willing
to raise billions more, but there is a
growing sentiment in favor of having
some system inaugurated whereby there
can be check on how the peoples
money is spent, Obviously the time to
have such an audit is while the money
is in the process of being spent. After
the work is finished and contractors of
various kinds have received their money,
it will be too late to have any recourse
except that of litigation.
Good business judgment justifies TIE
creation Of congressional committee
at once to supervise the expenditures OF
the enormous sums which Congress is
now appropriatng The Republicans
stand committed to make such super
vision The Democratic leaders have
twice defeated sneh a proposition in
Congress, anu are still opposed to it.

He is one of those that the statues
of this great nation have declared
should be preferred for civil Office
provided they are qualified. And
most of the political parties, in con-
vention assembled, have endorsed
that statute.
j. p. Smoker is the only
soldier running for Office in the
county, and now (and on Nov. 5th)
is the time to show your patriotism
by going over the top with Smoker.
Smoker has shown his loyalty
and patriotism in deeds. Deeds talk
louder than words.
In point of ability legal attain
ments and experience he is the equal
of his opponent and he now asks the
republicans and the voters of the
county to elect him District Attorney
and help him round out his life
with service to the state.

Every time it rained Malvena

took the matter in hand and began
to fiji it up.
He took his shovel and made a
ditch on each side for the water to
run away and kept on filling it up.
This year he put onto it large
amount of cinders Now it is well
rounded up and is a solid, substantial
street and fit at all times for travel
whether it rains or when it doesn't.
This was done without any expense
to the city.
He also improved Fountain street
in front of his lot. Just outside the
sidewalk he dug out about four feet
and one foot deep and threw the dirt
into the middle of the street. Into
that four feet he put in IA wagon
loads of crushed rock and with A
curbing of rock set edgeways next
the street It made a permanent
and lasting improvement.
1t made an excellent ditch for the

You are then to elect your seate
Officers; your Congressman; your
State Senator; and your assembly
man and your county officers.
This holiday only comes once in
two years. You are then sovereign
and can cast your ballot for whom
you please.
After you have nearly completed
your ballot look for the name Of
J. p. SMELKER
He has been duly nominated for
District Attorney Of Iowa County
and he respectfully asks all good
republicans, democrats ana prohibit
tionists to vote for him for that
office
Smoker has lived a simple life.
He has never drank liquor and has
never smoked or chewed tobacco. He
believes either habit is absolutely
useless so far as health is concerned.
He has no headaches, no back
aches, no stomach aches and is not
afflicted with rheumatism. Like most
doctors he rarely takes medicine.
Daily exercise, regular hours,
avoidance OF excess in eating and
drinking that is the secret of long
life and happiness"
What are some Of the facts about
Smoker For AZ years he has prac
ticed law in Iowa County and is stul
doing it at the old stand,
He moved to Highland in July,
1871, and remained there for a little
over ten years. The village Of High
land was not then incorporated.
No sidewalks any where and prac-
tically no streets He urged the
to have it Incorporated and
finally in 1873 it was incorporated
as a village by a vote Of the people
All the petitions, maps, notices
etc. were prepared by Smoker with
out expense to the people, altho he
needed the money bad enough
Most lawyers charge from $40 to
$50 dollars for like services.
After some years he became pres
.dent of the village and was also
elected to the county board from
Highland
The town Of Highland then in
.luded the town Of Eden, and was

WAR LINES DRAWING TIGHTER.

At the moment you read this the
prospects for an early ending of the war
are brighter than at any time. The
lines are being drawn so tight that Ger
many's resistance weakens day by day.

is only reasonable to look for SUI

NAMED at home to pray for the boys
in blue and to knit socks and one
fingered mittens for them.
Those who remain at home have
the saddest lot of all. No one knows
until war comes and their loved
ones are away, at all times exposed
to sickness and death and the dan
gers of the battle field.
In 1898 came the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, and Roy C. Smoker, the
son of j. p. Smoker enlisted in that
war while others remained at home
engaged in business.
Then came our present war and
another son of j. p. Smoker, offered
his services to the government as
surgeon. He is 36 years of age and
has a wife and three babies to sup
port, but he gives up his home and
wife and babies and voluntarily be-
comes a soldier,
He was recently ordered to Camp
Custer, Mich, to help Fl ght the in
fuenza, exposing himself to this
great danger-more dangerous to life
than the battles of this great war.
The Smoker family does some
thing They know that they take
their life in their hands when they
go forth, but they bravely dare the
danger nature shrinks from.
You may always know where to
find Smoker He is clean, able,
fearless and independent in the
cause of right
He never inquiries whether a man
is a prohibitionist, a democrat or a
republican. He simply ascertains the
facts and then does what is neces-
sary to protect his clients interests
without fear or favor
His clients interests are his inter
ests and if elected in November the
State and County will be his clients.
He was district attorney of the
county and no one can say a word
against him in the discharge of his
duties.
Smoker hasn't much Of this
worlds goods but in June, 1917, he
promptly sent to his country one
lfth of 1T, outside his homested, and .
since then he has put in more, max /
ing the amount loaned more than /
one-fourth
Very few have done any better and F..
think that no man Of wealth in
Dodgeville has done as well.
He is one Of the common people.
He early learned the lesson that the
great creator made OF one blood an

"STAND BY THE PRESIDENT"


The Democratic Manual for 1918,
which is the official campaign publica-
ton Of the Democratic national commit
tee, makes the issue "Stand by the
President" paramount, 1t requires UNI
limited gall to make such an appeal in
view Of that party's unsavory record
with respect to standing by the Presi-
dent.
In the sixties the Democratic party
particularly the southern element now
controlling affairs of government were
30 unwilling to stand by the result of
the election Of 1860 and Lincoln, the
chosen president. that they openly re-
belled against the national authority on
war and all other policies to preserve
the union Further on the same Dem
ocratc party proclaimed in state,
county and district convention platforms
that THE WAR WAS A FAILURE, AND
CALLED FOR PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY
Isn't that glorious stand by the pres
ident" record?
Again the Democrats in congress
scornfuly repudiated the policy of stand
ing by the president by voting against
the war revenue measures during the
Spanish American conflict and when a
Republican president was at the helm.
1t was then when James Hamilton
Lewis, now Democratic floor leader
in the Senate, and Champ Clark, now
Speaker of the House, read out of the
party the five Democratic House mem
bers who were loyal enough and had
the temerity to stand by the president
and vote for the war revenue measure.
1t was not long after that until these
same Democratic leaders were making
speeches in favor of the Philippine rev.
olutionists, which General Lawton de.
scribed as bullets in the backs Of the
American soldiers in a letter writter
not long before he fell on the field OF
battle Here is an additional gloriou;
record of the Democrats standing by
the president and country.
1t was also during the regime Of IN,
lamented Mckinley that this politically
demented Lewis said. with a tru,
Democrat there can be no such cry a.
My country before my party =" Their,
you have splendid proof that party i,
more important with the Democratic
leaders than is the country. while his
tory clearly shows that the Republican
party, founded for the protection, unity
and welfare of the country, has ad
hered faithfully thereto This has beer
proven since entering upon the great
war we are now waging Its party
leaders in Congress have been more
reliable in supporting the President in
his war measures than his own party.
If crowded to a confession we have
confidence in Mr. Wilson's frankness
20 the extent that he would admit this
TO be a fact. Further, that down in his
heart we believe the President enter
tains no fear Of Republican congress
being genuinely patriotic and reliable
in aiding to bring the war to a termina-
ton satisfactory to the people Of this
country and her allies
What befoEs the President is party
ism and sectionalism regardless Of con
sequences.

ALL nations, so far as we can learn,
except the United States. adopt the
budget system. Republicans in con
gress have urged it's adoption, but the
Democrats who chance to be in control
of governmental finances at this time,
rule "no. When this government
adopts a centralized authority to handle
the billions of war and other expendi.
lures it will stop the waste of extrava-
gance by the present Democratic party
system by the way, perhaps the pub
lie in general has forgotten that the
National Democratic party platform
pledged for a budget system. In this,
however, the Democratic party has fol-
lowed the German scrap of paper"
policy. Such condition of financial
affairs is among the leading reasons
why Republican congress should be
elected next week
