If you believe a public Office is
public trust, consider the man who
has put that theory into actual prac-
tice
Leslie E. Hubbard, candidate for re-
election. on the Democratic ticket for
attorney general, is the living example
of that principle-he is public serv-
ant. not a politician for Office.
He is Connecticut Yankee of old
revolutionary stock, was educated in
the public schools, and worked his way
thru college. He knows the state and
peoples needs and fights for them
If necessary, alone.
He stands on his record for pa
triotism, efficiency, economy, honesty,
courage and fairness in public af-
fairs-a record deserving the support
of the people without regard to party.
He conducts the peoples business
in the open, not behind closed doors,
takes the people into his confidence
and makes them. not the politicians,
his clients.
He refused TO permit politicians in
their own interest to loot and control
his office, declined to trade the patron
age of his Office for appropriation, and
fought for and secured square deal
for the people at the expense of his
own political advantage.
HE SETTLED THE STRIKE
CASES AND ESTABLISHED IN
DUSTRIAL PEACE BY FAIR AND
COURAGEOUS ACTION TO LABOR.
He made effective the workmen's
compensation law by securing judi
cial determination upholding his con-
tention that companies must pay the
benefits to injured workmen during
the time they are contesting their
claims in the courts.
He defended successfully the con-
stitutionality of the non-support law
and secured decisions in our courts ex-
tending and making effective the scope
and effect of the provisions and in
tent of the law to the highest degree
of efficiency in the interest of the
women and children under its pro-
lection.
He put vitality, as attorney general,
into the prohibition laws of Colorado,
by effective construction and fearless
enforcement of all prohibition laws
and vigorous prosecution of offend
ers thereof.
He was a staunch supporter of pro-
hibition as moral and economic meas
ure before il became politically ex-
pedient for mere politicians to es-
pouse that cause.
He has consistently protected the
farmers and their interests; he drafted
the alfalfa weevil law and aided in
securing its passage; he saved to the
farmers, the farm loan act from the
attacks of the money trust, sustain
ing in the supreme court its consti-
tutionality; and he refused to permit
the milling trust in order to crafty
its avarice and injure the farmer to
set aside the pure seed law
He was the first in Colorado to
protest against profteering and to de-
clare public war against the profiteer,

the problem of the border, across
which lies the only available source
of labor supply absolutely essential to
the United States during the war Pc
riod.
Organized labor, locally and nation
ally, has commenced systematic cam
paign of education among the Mexi-
cans now in this country, numbering
over a million and half. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor has declared
in series of conventions in favor of
organization of Mexicans in this
country and fraternal relations with
the unions of Mexico.

fecting our entire country as no other
labor problem ever affected it before,

UNIONS URGED TO FILE
STATISTICAL REPORTS

Labor Commissioner W. L. Morris
sey reports that his efforts to secure
accurate statistics concerning the ac-
tivities of labor organizations in Den
yer thus far have met with scant sue
cess. Letters with blanks were sent
to all the labor organizations in Den
yer, but only about 40 per cent have
replied. If the Forthcoming biennial
report of the commissioner is to be of
great value to the organized workers,
it will be necessary to receive the sta
tistics asked for 1t is urged by Mr..
Morrissey that the delinquent secre-
taries look up these blanks, fill them
out properly, and send them to the
department of labor, Capitol building,
at the earliest possible time.

LESLIE F. HIJBBARD'S OFFICIAL RECORD
IS ONE OF DEVOTION TO PUBLIC SERVICE

, in the interest of the farmer and con-
sumer-he led, others followed.
He defended vigorously for the
benefit of the water users, the water
rights of the state at less than two
| fifths the cost estimated by the leg
islature, refusing TO make appropria-
tions for that purpose political spoils,
! thus saving over $50 900 to the people.
He fought the attempts to make
the initiative and referendum ineffect-
i've and his prompt action and unfal
tering loyalty to the state and the
clear logic of his opinion on the mat
ter saved that measure to the people.
! He upheld the rights of the people
in preventing the junking of public
utilities against the overwhelming in
fiuence of powerful political and finan-
cial interests.
He protected the public revenue, re-
sisting successfully in the courts every
effort of corporations and individuals
to evade the just proportions of the
public burden.
He collected in FIVE years inheri-
tance taxes amounting to two and a
quarter million dollars, more than four
times the estimate, at n cost of less
4 than 80 per cent, record of eff
cheney and economy unparalleled in
/ the pubIlc service.
He was the first official in Colorado
to visit our educational institutions
and inquire into their need, origi-
mating the plan passed by the legis-
lature to create permanent building
fund for our educational institutions.
He demanded and secured for our
enlisted soldiers. called under state or
ders, the full pay provided for them
by law, holding that the statute should
be construed reasonably in favor of
the men who stood ready to use the
supreme sacrifice for humanity.
He successfully handled the state
business in the courts, establishing for
himself among the bar and bench the
reputation as one of the ablest and
most conscientious lawyers in the
state.
He stands for Wilsonian democracy,
the winning of the war with an Amer
lean victory as the paramount issue,
the federal prohibition amendment,
absolute bone dry prohibition, national
woman suffrage, the development of
our agricultural, mining, manufactur-
, ing and commercial resources, the inn
provement of highways and system of
! irrigation, the extension of education,
the suppression of vice and promotion
of the public health. the equalization
of taxation and industrial justice, n
budget system and a business admin
I istration, and the enforcement of all
laws with justice and square deal
to all.
Vote for Leslie F. Hubbard for at
torney general-Colorado's popular
servant of the common good-the man
who never faltered in public duty
nor prostituted his office for political
gain-and keep courageous friend
Of the people in the state house-the
man who is measured by the vindict-
iveness of his enemies made in the
peoples interests and the loyalty of
his friends made by the honest con-
duct of public office.

TO HARVEST RICE
MEXICAN LABOR TO COME OVER
BORDER FOR THIS PURPOSE.
Many Thousands Expected to Aug
ment American Workers in Caring
for Biggest Crop Ever Known.

Mexican labor, which may now as a
United States, thru the action of the
secretary of labor, will have an impor-
tant task in the harvest of the rice
crop in the Southern states-a crop
that is said to be the largest ever
known.
According to information received
from many sections in the South, the
labor situation so far as the rice crop
is concerned, makes the advent of the
Mexicans most welcome. In some
places so many men have been called
to the colors, or have enlisted volun-
tarily, that without Mexican labor it
is feared much of the crop might be
lost.
The department of labor has per-
mitted the coming of Mexicans to
ports along the gulf and to Atlantic
ports as far north as Charleston. They
are men who are familiar with farm
ing conditions in semi-tropical dis
tricts and will be the most satisfac-
tory labor supply that could be found
for the South, in the opinion of men
from that section of the country.
Next season it is expected that the
Mexicans will be given larger share
in the agriculture of the country, for
they will be available for all next sea-
sons farm crops in the South. Porto
Rfcans will also be brought to this
country, as will natives of the BAHIA
mas, but these islanders will be used
principally in shipyards or on sugar
plantations.

Committee Reports Deplorable State
Among Child Laborers

The report of parliamentary COM
mittee appointed to investigate con-
ditions surrounding child labor in Aus
tria discovered a most deplorable con-
dition, according to the Arbeiter lei
tung of Vienna More than one-third
of all school children are engaged in
some kind of work In some districts
all the children of school age are work
ing. Out of every 100 school children
between 6 and 6 years, Is are at
work; between and 10, So; between
II and u, so; and between 13 and Il,
81. Two-fifths of these children have
been working from the time they were
5 or years old. Out of every 100
children, 95 worked during the school
year as well as during holiday pc
riods.
Much of the child labor is per-
formed at home with parents and near
ly three-fourths of all the children
are employed fifty-two weeks in the
year. About one-fourth are engaged
in night work. So serious is the sit
uation that new legislation which will
prevent the employment of children
under II years of age, except on farms
and in household tasks, is now being
considered.

New York, July 12.-ThS Busch
family Of st. Louis bought at least
$1,000,000 worth Of the German war
bonds which the government believes
were sold in this country for prop
uganda and for the purchase Of The
New York Evening Mail and other
according to a statement
issued last night by Alfred e. Becker,
deputy state attorney general. MIR.
Becker added that probably more
than 100000, 900 worth Of the bends
had been sold in tie Untted States.
Mr.. Becker emphasized the point
that, while the United States was
still neutral. the imperial Ger
man government, without cent Of
expense to itself, established fund
ito seduce part Of the American
press with good American gold, ex-
changed for mere scraps Of paper"
Many Americans, he said invest
ed in the German bonds before this
country went to war In the same
Liberty bonds, thinking that the
money was to be used legitimately
for the purchase OF munitions and
war supplies, and not suspecting
that their dollars were to be used
against their own country.
The Adolphus Busch estate, "A. Al.
Busch, and Mrs. Lille Busch were
among the subscribers in America
to the German war loans, he de-
clared, adding that when Mrs Busch
was examined recently by govern
ment agents on her arrival in this
country, she had discIainaed, any
knowledge Of alleged purchase OF
The Evening Mail.
Captain David A. Nenkes, who was
dismissed from the United States
army by court martial for wishing
to resign after being sent TO France
