made up for this purpose could be
used, while Mr.. Gavin thought
that some of the "other fellows"
should be seen as well as those on
the list. "Some of us have been
bearing the brunt of the burden
for long time" he declared,
"and it seems to me that there
are a number of new residents
here since last year who would be
glad to get in on this"
: Relative to the high license to
be charged for vendors on Straw
berry day, which came up during
the discussion, Mr.. Keck felt that
it was a good move, but that the
local booksellers should put in
ample stocks of badges and SOU
venirs of that day. The various

Concerning State Convention.
The report of the convention
committee, made by Chairman
Drach, was that the opera house
could seat more than 700 people.
1t was brought out that not the
full complement of delegates was
expected this year owing to the
fact that many could not afford to
make the trip to Glenwood for the
state, and later to Denver for the
national convention; hence many
would forego the visit here and
would go to Denver instead.
| Mr.. Ewing stated that he had
+alked with Milton Smith, chair
man of the Democratic central
committee and that he was well
pleased with the arrangements
that had been made.
II was his idea that everyone
who could spare a room during
the time of the convention should
do so and that all who could &C.
commOdate one or more guests
should notify the secretary of the
board of trade in order that il
might be known exactly how
many could be cared for.
Referring to the Tammany del
egation Mr.. Keck stated that ar
invitation had been extended te
those delegates to come to Glen
wood: that the Midland would
furnish the transportation free
and that it was now cup to them
to either come or stay away.
It was unanimously voted thai
the Midland should be extended
