CANDIDATES IN THE STATE
election drive have submerged their
ambitions until the Fourth Liberty
l,loan campaign has been sent success
fully over the top in Colorado. Hence
the politicians will not begin to shell
the voters with cards, circulars and
oratory until the week beginning Oc-
tober IA. This means a short siege of
three weeks for the voters, as the
election is to be held Tuesday, No
vember 5. The Democratic state CEN
tral committee met this week and filled
| the vacancy on the ticket for lieuten-
ant governor by nominating Franklin
E. Carringer of jefferson county, pres
ident of the Midland Savings and
| Loan Company. He takes the place of
| Harry E. Churchill of Greeley, who
received high vote in the Democratic
primaries. Senator Carringer was not
candidate in the primaries and his
! selection by the state committee was
! unanimous. Senator Carringer made
splendid record in the legislature
and is a recognized friend or organ
| lied labor.
| REGISTRATION FOR THE GEN
eral election can be made at precinct
| polling places October 10 and IT.
Those who have moved from one pre-
cinct to another can make changes to
conform to their present voting loca-
| ton at the offices of the election COM
mission at the court house, which Of
| fees are open for this purpose up to

camp. l am glad that l enlisted, and
while, of course, l am hoping to be
sent overseas, l am trying to do what
ever work the army thinks l should.
This camp is located in pine forest
and while rather low, it is a pleasant
location, on the banks of the ST. Johns
river, althO the said river is a long
ways from my section of the tented
city. This is training camp for quar-
termasters, and most of the men are
sent overseas as soon as they are
properly trained"

paid him a high compliment when
from the list of vice-presidents, AL
pine was selected as substitute to have
charge of the Federation during
period of the worlds greatest crisis,
and on this job Alpine is making good,
as he has in every duty assigned him
in the interests of labor. Besides be-
ing acting president of the American
Federation of Labor and president of
the United Association of Plumbers
and Steam Filters of the United
States and Canada, Alpine is a men,
