GOSSiping Stories About the

DENVER, July 2.-The first impress
sion of the visitor to this mile-high
city is that Denver is not big enough
to handle the national convention OF
either of the great political parties. A
tour of the larger hotels does not les
sen the impression.
But the enthusiastic Denverite viii
tell the visitor that he is all wrong.
He will recall that Denver took care OF
100000 strangers when the Knights
Templars held their conclave there, ana
that as many were accommodated dur
ing the national encampment Of tho
Grand Army of the Republic. Besides.
the visitor will be told, Denver has
grown in size and experience since
these events and is big enough ana
understands the game well enough to
get away with a crowd of any size
Denver hasn't overlooked the fact
that thousands of people who would
not go to Chicago or Philadelphia or
ST. Louis or Kansas City to attend a
convention have in them the desire to
visit the metropolis of the Rocky
Mountains. and will take advantage Of
low excursion rates for the convention
period to get into this health-g giving
and sightseeing part of the Union.
