and Republican parties have enunci-
ated their respective platforms and
organized with new chairmen of the
state central committees, the 1918 po-
litical campaign may be said to be on.
An attempt to have the politicians
step aside in favor of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan Drive does not seem to have
made much of an impression with
those who are running for office. Any
way, the candidates should not forget
to subscribe literally to Uncle Sans
fund for keeping the war for world
wide democracy going forward over
seas. Phillip Hornbein Of Denver,
who managed Tom Tynan's campaign
in the primaries, has been elected
chairman of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee. He appointed Colonel
G. P. McFall as state secretary. Nc
Fall was secretary for the lyman
campaign committee in the primaries.
Rush L. Holland of Colorado Springs,
manager of Oliver H. Shoup's CAM
paign for governor in the primaries,
has been elected chairman of the Re
publican committee and appointed S
j. Sackett secretary of the committee.
Sackett was in charge of Lawrence c
Phipps' candidacy for the Senate.
y
won the nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor in the Democratic primaries, has
withdrawn from the ticket and the
vacancy will be filled by the state COM
mittee. In his letter to Chairman
Hornbein, Churchill gave no reason for
his withdrawal. However, it is in
ferred that he quit the race because
of pressure put forth by the Denver
Post, which opposed his candidacy in
the primary election. Candidates
lyman and Shoup for governor have
opened a long range bombardment
thru the newspapers. No casualties
up to date.
A USEFUL WAR PURPOSE HAS
been found for Denver's 600 lawyers.
They are working day and night in the
trenches at the court house helping
those conscripted in the last draft to
fill out their questionnaires, and the
lawyers are performing this work free
of charge, as a patriotic service to
their country. Courts have adjourned
for three weeks and the judges are
taking their turn in the trenches with
the lawyers who work in relays from
$3.50 to 5 o'clock during the day and
from to 8 at night. The other day
ii
foreign parts, handed Judge Dennison
two-bit tip after the Judge had la
bored for nearly an hour and half to
fill out the mans questionable. In
asmuch as the judge is a candidate for
the state supreme court, he refused
to accept the retainer, much to the
surprise of the draftee, who was evil
IDENTIFY of the impression that lawyers
never give services free of charge.
Judge Ira Rothgerber is in general
command of the questionable brigade
and it is estimated that at least three
weeks heavy service will be required
to complete the job in Denver.

ONE OF THE GREATEST
Auditorium greeted Ambassador Ger
ard Friday night, September 20, when
he came here to speak under auspices
of the League to Enforce Peace, a
brand of peace to be gained only thru
complete overthrow of the central
powers. 1t was estimated that at least
$4,000 people gained entrance, while
5000 more were turned away when
the doors closed to stop the crush, and
every seat and space within the i'm
mense building was occupied. During
his four years in Germany, Ambassa-
dor Gerard gained comprehensive
knowledge of the Germans. In his
address this reference was made to
Germans in this country who are in
sympathy with the kaiser: "In this
country, however, as the mist lifts
from your mountains, SO is the veil
of this propaganda being lifted and
we are permitted to see and under
stand the real German. They sent
musicians, writer's and scholars to this
country to spread their propaganda,
but now we know their lust of power.
1t must be a surprise to those here.
They have forgotten that they left
