Denver, July THE Democratic

called to order at noon by Thomas
Taggart, chairman OF the national COM
mittee. in the spacious auditorium
erected by the citizens of Denver for
the use Of the convention.
Rt. Rev. James ]. Keane. arch
bishop Of Wyoming. one Of the most
eloquent and able prelates in Amer
lea. made the opening prayer.
Call for Convention Read.
After the delegates and visitors
had settled in their seats, Urey Wood
son Of Kentucky secretary of the ma
tional committee, read the call for the
convention, and a brief period Of de-
lay followed. The committee on rules
then made its report, and the officers
of the convention were announced.
They are as follows:
Temporary Chairman-Theodore A.

General Secretary-Urey Woodson.
Kentucky
Assistant General Secretary-Edwin

decorations were even more pictur-
esque. and the illumination scheme
was the most brilliant Denver ever at
tempted.
Fifteenth. Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets, three OF the main
thoroughfares in the city, were reve-
lations in color. On Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets there are eight iron
ornamental electric poles to a block.
four on each side of the street. On
these streets the poles were draped
with red, white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American flags were suspended.
The flags hung over the street and
were weighted" to prevent them from
becoming tangled and torn by the wind.
On Seventeenth street the scheme
was the same, except there were only
six poles to each block, two at each
corner and two at each alley.
At each crossing two wires were
strung diagonally across the intersec-
ton, from which red. white and blue
incandescent lights hung. The busi-
ness houses along the three streets
were handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost
ly electric display signs had been
put in place on the buildings, and at
night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets were a blaze of light
Electric display signs are one of
the main features of business life in
Denver. Every merchant has an cleo
trio sign. and as all OF the streets that
cross the three thoroughfares de-
scribed are live business streets, the
committee on illumination did not find
1t necessary to add much In the way
OF light to these avenues of trade.
However. the business houses were
handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags. so the entire business sec.
tion Of Denver was a mass OF color
when the big convention opened.
The people Of Denver, in addition to
decorating their city and providing a
beautiful and commodious auditorium
fac the Democratic national conven.
non. seemed determined to convince
every visitor that true western hos.
pitality is not thing OF the past in
this city. The real Denverite is hos.

atmosphere in the wonderful Rocky
mountain country.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
