DENVER. July TT was a radiant
picture of well dressed eagerly In
terested, animated and glowing hui
manity such as never before was seen
in Colorado. when at high noon today
Chairman Taggart called the national
Democratic convention to order. There
were twelve thousand people packed
within the walls of the new auditorium
and the spectacle was. to say the least,
inspiring. There were all sorts and
conditions OF men and women in the
throng. The tough politician from New
Yorks east side and President Roose-
velt's daughter, who, with her hus-
band, attracted more attention than
any of the male celebrities. There
was the gaunt sallow faced southerner
and the fair-haired Swede from the
northwest eager for his ideal Johnson
of Minnesota. But the great crowd
in the galleries and the floor was made
for Bryan and 1t would seem only
awaiting the psychological moment to
break out in display of enthusiasm
like that following the name of Roose-
welt at Chicago.
The doings In the convention for the
first hour are very perfunctory. MIR.
Taggart was received with cheers
when he ascended the platform and
after calling the body to order in a
few well chosen words he made way
for Secretary Woodson who began
reading the long roll call which is now
In progress.
After reading OF the call
and the nomination and Sc
lection of the temporary officers, Bish-
op Keane of Wyoming invoked prayer

during Its delivery. Then at few

address without notes Of any kind. He
