HUBBARD'S BLUFF
CALLED BY FINCH

To the Trustees of the AntiSaloon
League:
On October 8, Mr.. Leslie E. Hubbard,
the attorney general, who is a candi-
date for reelection, addressed letter
to the League trustees protesting
against our campaign activities.
At a regularly called meeting of the
trustees of the League, held August 90,
at which more than quorum was pres
ent, resolution was UNANIMOUSLY
adopted authorizing the executive com
mittee and the state superintendent to
prepare statement of facts concern
ing Mr.. Hubbard's g record and activi-
ties against the initiative bone-dry law
and to use every legitimate means to
the end that he be not reelected.
The "open letter" which seems to
have aroused Mr.. Hubbard's ire has
the full and complete sanction of the
executive committee of the league
which was empowered by the trustees
to conduct the campaign. Mr.. Hub
bard Is letter of October is a testi-
monial of the efficiency and effective
ness of league methods.
Mr.. Hubbard, in his letter, states
that the permit system embodied in
the present law was first suggested
by the Anti-Saloon league itself, repre-.
sented by Mr.. Finch and Mr.. Holloway
who prepared the original draft of the
bill and requested his office to aid in
getting it in proper legal form.
The Anti-saloon league did, before
the converting of the legislature i'll
January, 1917, agree to "permit"
law which allowed limited importa-
tions for "personal use,'' because st
the conference to which the attorney
general refers in his letter he (Mr
Hubbard) said he did not believe the
supreme court of the United States
would sustain the constitutionality Of
the Webb-Kenyon interstate liquor
shipment law, in which event if bone
dry law was passed by the Colorado
legislature it would be knocked out.
For this reason SOLELY the league
agreed to permit law of the charac-
ter mentioned above as the farthest
we could go under the then existing
federal laws. But just few days
later, January 8, the supreme court of
the United States handed down it's de.
cision sustaining the Webb .Kcny on Law,
and the SOLE REASON FOR A sPER-
NIT LAW CEASED TO EXIST.
A little while later, the middle Of
February, the congress of the United
States passed the federal bone-dry law
which prohibits shipments Of liquor
into dry states for personal use, "
thus giving the right to prohibition
states to pass bone-dry laws, and i'm
mediately an agreement in writing was
entered into and signed by the Colorado
W. G. T. u, the Ministerial Alliance
and the Anti-ssloon League to stand
together for the passage Of a bone-dry
law.
The present "permit" law which al.
lows the shipment Of liquors into Colo

QUANTITIES bears no more resemb.
lance to the originally drafted bill than
daylight bears to the blackness of mid.
night. The "permit' law was drafted
by hand-picked committee at the di-
rection of Senator "Billy" Adams, and
it was withheld until the closing hours
of the last day of the legislature and
brought out and introduced as a "Con-
ference Committee Report" Senator
Peterson, who presented it, stated that
he did not suppose any of the 100
members of the general assembly knew
what the bill contained, but that the
governor wanted it and as the session
was about to close he felt that they
should respect his wishes and pass it.
During that session of the legilsa-
ture Mr.. Hubbard lobbied against a
bone-dry law. After the initiated bone
dry law had been drafted by the best
legal talent in the state and the peti-
tions were printed and date had been
set to circulate them, the opponents of
the measure gave out statement that
a "high authority had consented to
write an opinion attacking the pro-
posed measure, and they openly boasted
that the opinion would be put into cir
culation at the psychological moment To
prevent the people from signing the
petitions. We at once wrote every min
lister in the state, every newspaper and
our inter-church committees, advising
them of the scheme to prevent the SUBJ
mission of the measures. True to their
boast, just few days before the petit
tions were put into circulation the at
torney general, acting in his official
capacity, made an attack upon the
measure and his opinion in printed
form was scattered broadcast, and a
violent campaign of opposition was
started to deceive the people as to the
true nature of the proposed bone-dry
law. The whole scheme was shown UP
and the petitions were signed by $4,000
more than the required number of
voters.
Attorney General Hubbard at all
times has been openly opposed to the
program of the united temperance
forces in this bone-dry campaign. He
alone is responsible for being in po,
sition of aiding the wet forces which
are fighting the bone-dry law. He is
in pit he has digged himself, and now
he seeks to have assistance in getting
ont.
Mr.. Hubbard apparently wrote his
letter to our trustees in the hope that
some member who was not at the meet
ing might give him an answer which
he could use to defend his indefensible
position.
Cordially yours,
THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE OF
Colorado

State Superintendent.

There are first, second and third class

DR.. CARREL

DR.. Alexis Carrel, the French sur
geon who attained international fame
while connected with the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research in New
York, is now the head of a great
French military hospital devoted to
the care of wounded soldiers who re-
quire delicate surgical operations. I'M
mediately after the outbreak of the
war DR.. Carrel relinquished his duties
in New York and offered his services
to the government of his native land,
and since then has performed many
astounding and successful operations
and has saved the lives of scores Of
men who otherwise would certainly
have died. Only the most difficult
cases are brought to DR.. Carrel, but
even with these the percentage of
recoveries has been very large. DR..
Carrel was born at Sainte Foy de Lyon,
France, and is now in his 45th year
He was educated at the University OF
Lyon, and for four years was an in
terne in the hospital of that city, later
becoming a member of the medical
faculty. He came to America 1 years
ago.. and his worldwide reputation
as a surgeon was achieved largely on
this side of the Atlantic. In 1909 he
joined the Rockefeller Institutes staff,
and became the most celebrated mem
Der of that brilliant faculty. Many OF
his operations have bordered on the
miraculous, while his investigations
into the causes and treatment Of many
obscure diseases added much to med
ical knowledge. In the French mill
tary hospital of which he is now the
chief, DR.. Carrel has been devoting
much of the time to the study of gas
eous gangrene, and new serum treat
ment promises good results in such
cases. DR.. Carroll will doubtless re-
turn to the Rockefeller Institute upon
the conclusion of the war.

though I had to look out for myself,
I was fascinated by that chap and
compelled to watch him almost from
the moment we were at the Huns
Threats. I knew he would excel him

And he did.
AS 1 said. it was a wood we were
taking The Huns had their machine
guns there, but not in the quantities
they have them now. They had also
"bayonets" galore, for they were de-
termined to keep that place or die in
the attempt.
What a fight!
We swept right past their machine
guns, toppled them over, and soon
were in the thick of the bayonet bat
tie. 1t was dreadful work, and al
though 1 could not help keeping my
eye on my companion, I had to look
after myself The moment the Huns
allowed they were going to make a
stand he made for them like a bull,
