headquarters at the Albany hotel |
Money is being layishly supplied and
the Democratic hosts. which once
knew only starvation and anarchy,
now walk down the embowered corri-
dors OF the Albany hotel In the midst
OF peace and plenty. The snarl of the
wolf at the door, the wall OF the agi-
tator and the cry of the demagogue
are heard no more. and just a few
Democratic corporation candidates
with one bulging "bar1' have wrought
the miracle.
Entering the Albany hotel ones eye
is confronted with the smiling por-
tIaits of William Jennings Bryan and
John w. Kern. surrounded by wealth
OF bunting and gay colors. In the

power. Democratic state senators and
representatives, with carefree faces
and well-lined waist-coats, stroll abou;

every hand may be seen evidences of
the "bar1,"
But II is on the second, or parlor
floor, of the Albany that the real af.
fluence OF the Democracy at the pres

is transfixed by a wilderness OF neatly
printed signs announcing the various
headquarters. The Railways resound

voices Of speakers, wrestling with the
mighty problems of Democracy. One
begins TO feel after a little that he
has entered political headquarters
with few hotel rooms being con-
Quoted ON the side, rather than hotel
containing political headquarters.

years ago when Governor Buchtel and
his party visited the towns and cities
OF Colorado in a special train, the
Democratic press reeked with tales
