I'VE are here prepared to make good
all the promises we made at the previous
our city is also prepared to make good
all the promises we shall make here. We
consider Denver an almost ideal place for
the holding of the convention from al
most every practical point of view. The
climatic conditions of the city, the east
ness of communication with all parts
of the country, its ability to meet all
possible requirements of the convention
and delegates and the very substantial
sum which we are prepared to contribute
to hn NOT oil unit too nd nff or inn
portant arguments in favor of the selec-
ton of Denver.
1T canalso be said that convention
held in Denver cannot fail to be a careful
and deliberative one. the very kind the
party needs for the proper consideration
of the vital issues of the next campaign
and the selection of the candidates who
will best represent our principles and
make the strongest contest for success at
the polls. It's distance from outside in
f1uences assures all candidates full and
equal consideration and it's salubrious eli
mate and excellent convention conditions
will enable the delegates to do their very
best work for the party, and good work
for the party is good work for the ma
ton"
Ex-Gov. Osborn of Wyoming.
Ex-Gov. and Representative John E
Osborn of Wyoming, who is the national
committeeman from his state, is at the
Arlington. He was delegate-at-lar to
the st. Louis convention. He is a hearty
advocate of Denver for the convention
and says Kansas City is already out OF
the running, which gives Denver the
whole west to draw from. The city is the
best location possible, he said. In the
recent past there have been democratic
senators from every state west of the Mis-
sssippi. excepting two, and every state il
that vast region. excepting Iowa and Min
nesota. have given electoral votes agains
the republican party.
Denver is only nights ride from the
Missouri river and two nights ride from
New York and Philadelphia. and the con
Meeting train service is the best in the
country. Denver is near enough and big
enough for the biggest national conven
ton of the best and greatest of Amer
lean national parties
