to the Bolsheviki element in the
democratic party, which opposition
caused the more conservative de-
mocrats to vote republican this
year, Clear Greek county remains
in the democratic column, but by
a much small margin than hereto
fore. Only one republican-Ben-
jamin A. Holley, for county clerk
was elected in the county, and
the republicans must take con-
ISOLATION in the fact that Colorado
has elected a republican United
States senator, three republican
congressman out Of four; good,
strong republican governor, and
complete republican state ticket
with the exception of secretary of
state and superintendent of public
instruction.
In Clear Creek county Heating
for congress carried majority of
only 1913. Guy U. Hardy of Can
on City was elected and will make
thoroly capable and creditable
congressman in ever way. He will
no doubt be placed on various i'm.
portant committees, and there he
will demonstrate his ability to
serve his country in a loyal Amer
lean way and do all he can for
Colorado.

campaign before the flu epidemic
made campaigning impossible, and
the result of his efforts is shown in
the Empire vote, where he secured
35 votes to Mr.. Robeson's 30.
Georgetown and Silver Plume,
where Mr.. Holland did no per-
sonal campaigning, went SO strong

that the lead could not be over

old republican citizen who is al.

and who always responds willing

service, and who is now filing the
Office of mayor, was defeated for
the Office of county commissioner
by 96 votes.
William G. Ives, the successful
contestant, was some years ago city
marshal of Idaho Springs; he un-

REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN
COLORADO AND NATION
Democrats However, Retain Strong Hold in Clear
Greek County, But By Decreased Majorities

ly no personal campaigning and
who might have been landed safe
if he had got out and met the
voters.
Mr.. Hafer, the only democrat
who lost out, blames his defeat on
his aspirations to a fourth term,
which he is now convinced is not
popular in Clear Greek. He takes
his defeat good-naturedly, as the
inevitable result and extends to
his successor, B. A. Holley, only
the most kindly regards.
The total vote of the county was
about 1925. to which must be add
ed the absent vote, amounting to
perhaps eighty. There were more
than 100 absent voters certificates
sent out.
The five Idaho Springs precincts
gave Phipps 2S7, Shafroth $50;
Shoup 2S9, lyman 33S. Mrs.
Nellie Gleason for county super
intendent of schools, drew the
largest vote in the county, passing
even lyman and Shafroth.
A. Fl. j. Horstmann for assessor,
who has often spoken Of as one of
the best assessors the county has
ever had, was an easy winner over
Charles S. Work, who would also
have proven thoroly capable in
every way.
The other contests in the county
we're not at all close, as will be
shown by the following unofficial
returns.

Registration Plans Are
 Sent Local Boards

Montgomery. August s.-(Special.) Anticipating the adoption of the new selective draft law by Congress the state military department under Maj. c. J. Hubbard. Friday mailed to all local draft boards of the state all plans for the registration. When the new law Is finally adopted nothing will be necessary before the work is car ried out. This is part of system that has been adopted by the military de- partment to hasten the carrying out of war department instructions
 After explaing that "the matters herein referred to must be handled without delay and every preparation must be made for this new registration so that when you receive your final in- structions the machinery will be ready" the letter to the draft boards quotes a telegram from the provost marshal general
 One paragraph of the telegram to the general follows:
 "It is confidently anticipated that legislation extending the present draft ages will early be enacted by Con- gress. At this time it cannot be stated with exactness what ages will be sub- ject to draft but it is safe to assume that a very large number of men will be required to register and that the day of registration will be early in Sep tember."
 These instructions will result in the registration being carried out withou, additional work to the department When the legislation is passed each draft board will be notified to prepare for the registration.

US. Ambulance Corps Seruing Behind Lines
 Of AlL fhe Allies

Washington, August 1o.-Like many another war episode. the telling of the full story of the creation of the Amer ican army ambulance corps must wait for peace. In 80 sections, the corps Is serving behind French, English and Belgian lines between Switzerland ami the sea, while 30 sections more of 1t have been strung out behind the Ital- ian trenches.
 A few additional units are complet- ing training at Allentown, Pa. but with their departure according to pres ent army arrangement, the job will be done Future ambulance drivers will be picked out in the prosaic but efficient routine of the draft canton ments, and the special service, unique in romance and effectiveness, will eventually vanish.
 The service came into being because of the necessity for lending immediate aid in some auxiliary fashion to the fighting allies, and because there were already at work privately raised and financed automobile ambulance units with American personnel. which it could absorb and enlarge. Likewise there was a rush of volunteering. and an equal rush of equipment offers,

 Units of bacteriologists were TO- cruited from among the chemists in camp. Hospital units of various kinds came here for training or prior to de- parture abroad.
 STRICTLY MEDICAL
 Today the camp is strictly medical and men are in training for all branch- es in this service. There are labora- tory units, whose work will be de- signed to prevent disease or combat it should new problems arise; field hos pital units, evacuation hospital units and organizations to conduct base hos pitals far behind the lines.

 An Italian contingent went to Eu- rope under the command of Colonel Persons, founder of the camp who recently was the guest of King Vic- tor Emmanuel on the fighting front. Since then Camp Crane has been com manded by Lieut.
