But we all enjoyed the services just
the same and l don't think any Re-
publican was converted,
! Mayor Speer is good fellow. He
has an eye out for anything that will
help Denver. He is young, strong,
| full of enthusiasm and as keen as
you find them. l don't know how old
Mr.. Speer is Sometimes he looks to
chievous eye of a 14-year-old school
boy and he always wears a welcom-
ing smile that puts you at ease. He
is making Denver good mayor. l
wish he was a Republican.
Tom Taggart, the national Demo-
cratic chairman is an interesting fell
low. He runs big hotel at French
Lick Springs. Indiana. and they say
is making s150,0OO year Some say,
and l believe Mr.. Bryan has intimated
as much, that Mr.. Taggart's hotel is n
modern Monte Carlo in its facilities
that-I have never been at Monte
Carlo and l have not yet been at
French Lick. l will say this for Mr.
Taggart-If | played the great Amer
lean game l would be afraid of him
for l believe he would bet as much
on two aces as he would on a full
hand.
He is now claiming that the man |
they will nominate in Denver next |
summer will carry Indiana, Nebraska, |
Colorado, Minnesota and don't know
how man other states.
But Mr.. Taggart is likable fell
Iowa big hearted chap. He sent
word to the association that he would
like for them to hold a meeting down
at French Lick and he would consider
every man and his wife In the asso-
citation his personal guest for as long
as they would stay.
Mayor James Dahlman. the cow
boy mayor of Omaha, made q hit when
ever called on. He 10 q booster for
the west all right and puts up good
talk for Colorado. He said that he
favored Denver for the convention
from the start because he wanted to
bring the people from the east out
here SO as to show them what q great
country we have west of the Mis-
souri,.
The national nomocrattr couvan finn
will certainly be OF great benefit TO
Colorado. It will bring thousands of
people here who have never been west
before and will advertise the state as
no other convention has ever done.
Canon City, as well as other parts OF
the state, will come In for its share
of the benefit.
Norman e. Mack, a newspaper pub
Usher OF Buffalo, N. Y, made a good
Impression wherever he spoke. Mr..
Mack is one Of the biggest men In the
party. He said that when the COM
mittee met at Indianapolis he re-
ceived telegram from Murphy. the

City. asking him to vote for Denver
Tor the convention. When he went
back to New York he asked Mr.. MUIR
ply why he made the request. WELL"
said Mr.. Murphy, II have been want
ing to 90 ont and see Colorado for
twenty years, and this will be my
chance"
Dozens Of Illustrations of this kind
were made which show that many
people feel Just as Mr.. Murphy did
about Colorado.
The new auditorium will be a great I
hing for Denver. II will pull many
other big conventions to the state and
will be about the best Investment
Denver ever made. II
Fort Collins wants the State Edi-
torial association to hold its summer
meeting mp there. That matter will
be taken up by the executive commit
tee later. Last year the summer
meeting was held At Hot Sulphur
Springs In order to permit the mem
bers to take that delightful ride over
the Moffat road. The year before It
was held at Castle Rock and day
spent over in Perry Park. Three
years ago Montrose entertained the
men-and her boom began
on that day.
