.RENsHAW FOR
STATE SENATOR
Popular Mining Man Candidate
When Elected Is Able to and
Will Protect Right of Mining
Industry at All Times.

William E. Renshaw, Republi-
can candidate for the State SEN
ate of the 26th Senatorial District,
composed of Clear Creek, Gilpin,
Grand and Summit counties, is a
man of the broadest experience,
not only in the mining industry,
but in all business relations.
He was born at Plymouth, in
the state of Pennsylvania; his
early education was obtained in
the public schools of that state
later he attended Wyoming Sem
mary, at Kingston, Pennsylvania,
for a period Of about three years
afterwards he entered Bucknell
university at Lewisburg, Pennsyl-
vania, where he remained for two
years; after his university course
and for few years following, he
devoted his energies to his own
various personal enterprises in
connection with his continued as
sociation with his father in var
ious business interests.
In the year, 1890, he came west
and, under the direction of the
Department of the Interior, in
spected certain sections of the
mining districts of Clear Creek
and Gilpin counties, at the con-
clusions of which he became so
impressed with the possibilities
of this industry that he soon after
resigned his various positions in
the east and determined to devote
all of his time and energies to the
mining industry of this state, and,
for the last 80 years he has been
miner and operator in various
parts Of the state, devoting his

TO SEEK MORE FUNDS
5000 Attend Colorado Colleges
Last Year-Amendment on
Ballot To Provide Aid.

Ballot To Provide Aid.
More than nine thousand stud
ents attended the regular sessions
of Colorado's institutions of high
er learning last year, according to
statistics made public by the
State Educational Publicity Bu--
reau. This is an increase of near
ly AZ per cent over the year 1916
II when 6,255 We're enrolled. The,
period of comparison extends
over four years so as to show nor
nal increases rather than those
affected by the war.
The Colorado School of Mines.
ranks first in growth with an in
crease of approximately 100 per
cent, and the University of Colo
RADIO is next with gain of more
than 83 per cent. The Colorado,
Agricultural college shows 81
growth of so per cent. The Colo
rado State Normal School and the
Colorado State Teachers college
show increases of 14.65 per cent
and 9 per cent, respectively. The
small growth of these last two in
stitutions is attributed to the un-
attractive salaries offered in the
teaching profession. This condi--
ton, it is said, is noted in reports
from number of other states.
Despite the decreasing value of
the dollar, now worth about 4U
cents as compared with 1916.
these institutions have been en-
deavoring to operate on an in
come which has advanced in num-
Der of dollars only in ratio to the
enrolment. This means, the re-
port points out, that the income
received from the state last year
was worth no more than the in
come received in 1916 when only
half as many students were en-
rolled.
Many students We're turned
away at the opening of the Uni
versity last year on account of the
lack of facilities to provide in
struction for them. In other
schools the floor space and num-
ber of instructors have not been :
increased to take care of the grow
