Cars Collide at Twelfth
and Colorado Sunday

An auto collision which might
have proven to be quite serious
occurred Sunday afternoon at the
corner of Twelfth and Colorado,
when a big Studebaker bumped
into Ford car which was coming
east on Colorado street.
A great deal could not be learned
concerning the occupants of either
car, both having been out of town
people, but it is stated that the
Ford occupants were two soldier
boys from Fort Logan, with two
young lady friends of Denver. One
Of the girls is said to have had her
head run thru the windshield, but
was not seriously hurt. Others
are thought to have escaped in
jury. 6
The Studebaker was apparently
not damaged to speak of, as it
went on its way, but the Ford
suffered considerable damage and
was taken to the Stroehle garage
for the necessary repairs.

A Worthy Congressman

No other name than that of Guy U.
Hardy should be considered by the Re-
publicans of the Third Colorado con-
rressional district this fall.
He is the kind of man who makes the
best ossible representative, and In his
first term he has done very well, both
in serving the interests of the people of
this district and in doing his part in con-
sideration of the great national prob
lens that have been presented to con-
gress.
It could not be truthfully claimed OF
any congressman that he has fuihlied
the wishes and met the approval OF all
the people of his district. That would
be impossible and the man who would
attempt to make such record would
be either demagogue or fool, ana
Guy Hardy is neither of these.
The Republicans cannot find in this
district a stronger candidate, and the
Democrats cannot nominate one who
will be more worthy of the trust and
confidence of the people. Pueblo Chief
tain.
Congressman Hardy has just returned
from Washington and is now at his
home in Canon City. He has been in
Washington almost continuously for "A
months, and has been very busy man.
Although new member, he has set
pace for the older members in perform
ing service for the ex-service men. Most
of all of his over 100 letters q day relate
to their affairs. He looks after their
business like brother. He is certainly
looking after the interests of his people
in the third district. There is no cause
for opposition to his denomination, and
there will be none.
