and stand by the party whether their
candidate be successful in the prim-
ary or not. As regards the Colored
voters a. word at this time will, we
think, help our side in the game, and
guide us to an intelligent form of ac-
ton that will command a better treat
ment for us than heretofore. All or
ganizations run by system and method
are generally stable and long-lived as
there's something to guide and some
thing to follow, and if they are the
parents or the heads, then everything
coming after or any subordinate Or
ganizations should get their consent
and approval. Not long ago body
of our town folks got together and of
their own authority established A
CoLORED COUNTY CENTRAL COM
MITTEE. They got out their liter
ature, procured P. o. box, had other
equipment, sent out circular letters.
and a number OF other things. Then
they reached a point where they
should have been indorsed by the
committee-in-chief and this they
failed to get, because of lack of sys-
tenn and method. Both sides there
fore make mistakes, but profiting by
them, let us go about the matter in
a thorough form, and come what may,
let us be THE PARTY FIRST and
all other successes will be added.

UNITED SPANISH WAR VETERANS
DELIGHT PATRONS IN TENTH
ANNUAL DANCE AT CITY
AUDITORIUM.

When Professor George Morrison
and his augmented orchestra gave
such strains from their musical in
struments last Tuesday evening at the
City Auditorium as to compel the
youth, middle-aged and old to trip the
light fantastic over the specially pre-
pared floor, the vast throng that gath
cred to participate in the Tenth An
nual festivity of Corporal White
Camp No. 4, expressed entire salts
faction for the splendid and well-ar-
ranged program of the Spanish War
Veterans, and the concensus of opin-
ion was that the usefulness of the or
ganization in the help it affords to
it's members during their lifetime, as
well as the provision they make to
bury them decently and afford sub
stantial help to the widows and Or
phans, merited their patronage and
support in this celebration and those

The time for filing applications for
war risk Insurance by men in the mil
itary and naval service Of the United
States has been extended by congress
to April 18th. Automatic insurance.
however. has ceased entirely and no
soldier is now insured by the govern
ment. unless he has applied for it.
This makes voluntary application
doubly important and no man wear
ing the uniform OF his country should
fail TO take advantage of the privilege
afforded him by the federal author
tiles.
In the course OF u iester to tho
Daily Record. from A. w. Grant OF
Denver. secretary OF the Colorado

is hoped that you will give the sub
ject OF war risk Insurance the widest
possible publicity in your county. It
win be . mater Of deep regret If every
one of the, men in the military service
in your section Of the state has not
availed himself OF the guvernment's
offer. in this respect The insurance
is not only good for the period of. the
war, but for all of tho lives OF the In
