Asked regarding his impressions Of
Washington, the Doctor said: 1T is
city of great present beauty and Of i'm
mense possibilities. You have done well
already, but hencef0rth the improvement
will be rapid and constant A great deal
Of the architecture Of your capital can be
commended. What has particularly sur
prised me with its excellence is the archi-
lecture Of several OF your banks: il is
pleasing, dignihed and impressive, finer
indeed than I expected 20 see in America
Washington is more ike a European city
than any ! have yet noted In the United
States. and is adaptable 10 the highest
forms OF enumeration. I think that in
the next few years the private residences
here will show a great change for the
better The structures that the govern
ment will erect should be the best in the
world. for you have money without stint
and an inexhaustibie supply Of the finest
building material on the globe
Colorado Is a Roosevelt State through
and through, and our people would be
well content to see him once more elect

Stevenson, a leading lawyer Of Denver
at the Arlington. Mr.. Stevenson is a

a member Of the Republican National

! give its support to any man for the Pres

/ for the doctrines ana policies Of which
/ the President Is the exponent. His ad-
! ministration has been very satisfactory
/ except, perhaps. as regards the course
/ that has been pursued regarding the pub
/ lie lands. Our people have deemed that
/ not so much the fault of the President
/ as Of ex-Secretary Hitchcock, whom
they regarded as HlberaI and narrow.
and are hoping that Mr.. Garfield the new
/ Secretary, will take a broader and bet
/ ter view than his predecessor.

body else had been in the race. ANY good
/ Republican who IS after the Roosevelt
pattern can be elected without difficulty,
The old free silver States Of the West
have long since gone back into the Re-
publican column 10 remain. The idea
that Bryan could carry single one OF
I them is a delusion. Bryan IS not nearly
so strong in the region from which I
hail as his admirers would have the
country believe. If there is not revOlu-
ton of some sort. should he again be a
candidate of the Democracy. he viii be
as badly defeated as was Judge Parker
in 1894"
Mr. ". G. Conrad. Of Montana. who is
at the New Willard. with his wife and
daughter. has recently been alluded TO as
very available man when the Demo-
Gratis get down TO the work Of selecting
a standard bearer in 1903 he has had a
career OF wonderful success in a financial
and business way and his strength would
be in his capacity 10 give the country a
good business administration.
But Mr. Conrad has. in the opinion Of
, 1 his friends, much more 10 commend him
/ than his prominence as q banker and
| great land and cattle owner He is re-
garded as a man Of the broadest views
| and yet sound and conservative by ma
ture. His nomination 70 the Presidency
should be very pleasing TO the South.
He was born in Virginia, passed his young
days there. and stiH shows his love Tor
the Old Dominion by annual pilgrimag es 10
his fine farm Ia his native Clarke County
When a young man he migrated 10 the
/ West and 1t was not many years until he
was one Of the foremost citizens Of Mon
tana.
I In that State he has held many impor-
tant and honorable positions. and. at one
time. came within two votes Of being
elected TO the United States Senate. The
story of how he was deprived Of that Of
/ fee when he was almost the unanimous
e choice of the Democracy Of the State is
P well known ali over the West. Mr. Con-
RAIDS entire career has been Of unspotted
= integrity and among his own people his
name is q household word. He has Just
returned from Canada. where he has been
a breeder Of cattle on big scale for
many years.

! On my word, you can buy things far more

vanced greatly in the Old World. All

= While in Nice I slipped over 10 Monte
r Carlo 10 while away an occasional hour

Americans there. most Of whom were
making big bets-S3 900 and $1,000 on a sin

plungers get away with any winnings. On
