"Denycrs democratic INVENTION
will open July 7th. more as a glad
holiday ,hau the dry proceedings Of
political party" said travelling
man yesterday "lt seems certain
that Denver will have the banner
crowd of It's history at this gathering
OF democrats Not only democrats
are planning TO come out but people
from every section Of the country
and every political faith. II is be-
levcd boy those in charge of the con-
vcntiou that the attendance will
reach 100000. This is one OF the
largest crowds Denver has ever han.
died when the members Of the
Grand Army of the Republic were in
the city the attendance reached that
point. and the hotels were filled to
the limit.
During the time that has elapsed
since the old soldiers were in Den.
yer the hotel capacity of the city
has been enlarged fully 10000 and
there will .e ro trouble In caring
for the delegates and visitors who
come 10 the conventional Early IN
the year there were many reports
sent abroad throughout the country
to the effect that Denver hotels
would charge more for their accom-
modations than at times when con.
yeutons were not in the city This
Is not the case, the prices for
meals and rooms will b. the same
as during the other seasons of the
year when there are no large crowds.
There is usually a large influx
of tourists TO Denver about the lat
ter part of June and the exception
ally low rates for the convention will
attract a much larger number OF tray-
elers at that time than Is usual.
Judging from the hotel reservations
made i'm Denver up TO the present
time and the number of special
trains chartered from various sec
tions of the country, and travel to-
ward Denver in the early days Of
July will be the largest ever known
in the same number of days in the
country.
Denver citizens are anXiously plan
ming for the comfort of the visitors.
The Chamber of Commerce has ar
ranged for the residents of the city
to act as reception committee.
Every Denver resident will wear a
button bearing the legend ASK me,
and will be prepared to furnish in
formation TO all strangers. There
will be information bureaus opened
in the principal business sections of
the city to direct the visitors to
wherever they wish TO 60
at all the large national conven.
tions that have been held in Denver
during pervions years large sums
have been spent in entertainment
when the Grand Army members
We're there sl1S,OOO was spent and
this year the sum will far exceed
that amount Besides the sum of
100000 given the democratic nation
al committee TO spend on the conven-
tion there will be an immense sum
expended by the Chamber Of Com
merce on arrangements for the COM
fort entertainment and convenience
of those who come as delegates or
visitors.
"The immense new auditorium, ca.
pable of seating $4,000 people, win
permit an immense audience to hear
the deliberations Of the convention.
The weather will be delightfully."-
cool-for Denver is a mile Highland
the convention ought to be great
