OVER 5000 AUTOS
in SPEER PARADE
(special 10 The sentinel.)

Denver, May 1S.-Downtown Den
yer never before was as crowded as
1t was Saturday night. 1t was the
close of the campaign. Both parties
had asked the privilege of holding
outdoor meetings on street corners
and practically every downtown cor
ner was occupied by some speaker.
In, addition to this the business
men gave 4 parade for Speer. the
length and beauty of which has new
er been excelled in political cam
paigns in Denver. They claim that
there were sos machines in the line.
The parade moved at the rate OF
about ] 5 miles an hour and occupied
10 minutes IN passing given point.
1t moved through the principal
downtown streets and ended at Four
Fteenth and Broadway.
The streets were literally jammed
during the entire evening. and in
many cases the street corner speak
ers had unwilling listeners for the
crowd at times was so great that
they simply had to stand and listen
to the takers.
Strange as it may seem, there was
no trouble whatever. The crowd was
good natured, the speakers were not
insulting and those who feared that
the holding of downtown meetings
would bring on turmoil and trouble
were mistaken.
