Remembers Denlson Friends When
Great Appropriation Bills Passed
Denison was electrified this week
to learn that through the efforts of
Hon. j. P. Conner Denison has been
included among the growing towns in
which Uncle Sam would erect a SUBJ
stantial postoffice building of his own.
The first word was that $500 had
been appropriated. This was the bill
as it passed the house. In the Senate
the amount was increased to $4,000.
This means that the site will be
purchased during the next year and
that in all probability the next Con-
gress. especially if Judge Conner is
still member of that body-will ap-
propriate all the way from $40. 600
to $l00.OO for fine Federal building.
1t is eminently fitting that Denison.

assured as long as the republic shall
stand. city which gave to the Ma
tion its greatest Secretary of the
Treasury since the days Of Hamilton.
should have this fine PERMANENT public
building. Judge Conner has at a
single stroke. of his own volition. and
without the aid of any other Denison
man. done more for our city. its
beauty. its permanency. its standing
among cities. than any other Denison
man has ever done.
We are glad that the republicans
of Denison rallied to his support 4lO
strong in the formation of the Come,
Club. before this appropriation was
known. 1t shows that while Denison
people appreciate the great thing
Judge Conner has done for them they
were his loyal friends and supporters
regardless of public building appro-
priations.
The building when it is erected will
stand for generations as a monument
not only to the greatness of our Ma
tion. but to the strength of the affec
tion of Denison's loyal son-Jame
Perry Conner. The least that we ca,
do is to give him a unanimous en-
dorsement at the polls.
