FIXING DELEGATES
 FOR EASY RIDES
Influences at Work to Give RepubIi- cans and Democrats Alike, a Mighty Good Time, if They Travel Santa Ea

The local offices of the Santa Fe railroad have been apprised that the company is going to take a hand in the respective conventions of the democratic and republican parties this year to be held in Denver and Chicago. that will make everybody who travels, nominate it for first place on the tick ct as the official convention route. It has issued two folders in which there Is a lavish display of red and black and brown ink, and all kinds of pictures. That no impartiality might be shown one of these folders is devoted to the democratic convention exclusively and the other to the republican convention. The company has assumed the atti tude that it don't care if the world knows that it is going to try and grab both conventions and If it can have its way every delegate to both of them will travel Santa Fe.'
 The Chicago folder is ornamepted on the outside. beside the printing, with the picture of the G. O. P. elephant at the top and below it appear the pie lures of Taft. Fairbanks. Cannon, La Toilette, Shaw, Knox, Hughes and a black horse, all of whom it may be supposed the Santa Fe would like to see nominated. Inside the fold CT there is a modern map of Chicago on which are indicated the railroad stations, hotels and other points of in- terest. There is much text matter also indicating a few of the attractions Chicago has for the political or other tourist, and impressing the fact of the cityS fame as a summer resort. Most everything else resorts there too that a live human could take an interest in. There is also lot of tabular in- formation about electoral votes, etc, so delegates may post up en route.
 Concerning rates the folder speakes as follows regarding this section: From points. west of Albuquerque on June g. 10 and II there will be a rate slightly higher than one fare for the round trip. with final return limit of ninety days from sale. and ample stop over privileges.
 In the democratic convention it Is evident from its democratic folder. that the Santa F'e proposes to support w. J. Bryan whose picture sights up prominently. and two other fellows
 
 which is printed a big question mark. All this is over a picture of Denver, done in red paint and sky rockets. The back cover carries a may of Colorado and the other immaterial part of the United States which lays outside of it.
 Inside the folder are many pictures of fine hotels and other big houses just like Phoenix is going to have some day, including the big auditori- um where the convention will be held. There are numerous pictures of Colo rado scenerv also, that are to say the least fascinating. Then there is some more political dope" some train schedules and hotel rates. information about how to secure private cars and and a lot of things the delegate and his friends ought to know. The rates given are mainly from the effete east but if there is anything the reader wants to know that he can't find in one or the other of these folders, Gen. eral Agent Goldsworthy or City Tick ct Agent Carver can tell him. if it has any bearing on the question of con- Vention transportation. The official announcement is made that Pike's Peak is still in place and all the other things that made Colorado famous are still on exhibition and available to the tourist who has an- money left at all.
