help spend it. 1t occupies a building
which will shelter some 1900 congo
NAL souls, and it will keep open
house" from dawn to dawn of every
day until the last straggler has de-
parted from the city. Its especial
mission will be to look after the rank
and file of the unterrified, and it will
have committees of reception and
entertainment and what not, and
marching clubs and bands for escort
galore.
Quarters for the Press.
For the accommodation of news
paper representative from all parts
of the country the chamber of COM
merce has rendered to the Press
Club of Denver the use of its entire
three-story and basement building,
located within two blocks OF the
Auditorium Hall and of the business
center. Here the Press Club will
provide 500 desks and paraphernalia
for as many reporters and writer's,
while twenty rooms will be reserved
for the various news-gathering or
carnations of the land. A complete
Photographic studio and developing
room will be equipped with every
modern facility for the use of the
Journalistic artists, and both Western
and Postal Telegraph wires will be
installed, with operators, in the
building.
A Night of ReveIry.
One night during convention week
will be given up to joyous revelry
and merry-making. A leading feat
ure of this part of the convention
program will be mask parade OF
floats typical of the west
and its historical associations. An
other feature will be a fire run and
parade of all the city departments,
displaying to all visitors the develop
ment of a modestly great city in the
wild and woolly" west. The princi-
nal downtown streets will then be
turned over until midnight to The
tender mercies of King Carnival, the
whole to end with an open-air
masque ball near the capitol grounds.
In this entertainment train load
of snow from the adjacent mount
aims will be used as ammunition for
an old-fashioned snow ball battle-a
novelty that will doubtless prove a
pleasing change from the time-worn
shower OF confetti.
Under the auspices of the rail-
roads operating in Colorado there
will be presented a complete and
comprehensive display of all the vast
and varied industrial resources OF
the state, including mining, agrl-
culture, horticulture and stock-groW
ing. In this display unusually inter
esting and profitable features for
study by eastern visitors will be
those of irrigation and sugar beet
culture. and both will be fully eX-
ploited both as to methods and re-
cults

DENVER AS HOST
THERE WILL BE A GALA TINE AT
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
ghe Mountain City viii Entertain in
Royal Fashion. One Night VIII
BE Devoted To RcVelry.

While the proper entertainment OF
a national political convention Is d
matter TO tax the capacity OF any
community Denver feels that the
great democratic gathering next June
will have nothing to complain OF.
The people of the city, official, ousi-
ness man and citizen alike, have en-
tered upon the preliminary work Of
preparation with determination
that the democratic hosts will leave
their gates with the feeling that no
similar gathering was ever more roy
ally provided for.
Denvers' hospitality is of the true
western order-warm, hearty aid
compelling. 1t may possibly
through no fault of its own lack
trife in the matter of years which is
commonly associated with austere
dignity, but it should be remember
ed that it is rapidly being reinforced
with much of the rich, red young
blood of eastern culture. Therefore
visitors to the coming convention
may assure themselves with visions
of something more than Indians,
''bad men and cowboys, and may
reasonably anticipate becoming as
well as CHEEKY reception.
The first consideration in the mat
ter of entertainment is the accommo-
dation for the convention itself. This
will be held in the new public audi
torium now in course of erection.
The building will have a floor space
of 100000 square feet, and will be
lighted by 5000 16-candle power
electric lights. The normal seating
capacity is 10000, but for the pur-
pose of the convention the entire in
terror is to be thrown into one vast
theatre capable of comfortably seat
ing $4,000.
Hotels to Shelter All.
The assurance upon the score Of
hotel accommodations is equally am
ple. Denver has 108 large hostel
ries, with a total capacity for com
fortably housing 1870 guests. This
list does not include hotels of less
than 50-guest capacity each nor pri-
vate boarding and rooming houses
of any description, which are myriad.
This capacity will be largely aug
mented by new accommodations to
be provided before the convention
meets, and if need be every private
residence in the city will be thrown
open to public hospitality.
The local democratic club, with a
membership of over 1000, has

Against Roosevelt and Taft.
II is announced by the dispatches
that during the next two weeks mass
meetings of negroes will be held in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, West
Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri,
and New Jersey in the interest OF
opposition. to Secretary Taft. At a
meeting of the National Negro Asso-
citation Political League in Washing
ton it was stated that more than
million negroes would be lined up
against President Roosevelt and Sec
rotary Taft this fall. The meeting
was attended by the officers of the
association from the various states.
w. T. Ferguson of New York, one of
the secretaries of the association,
said:
1.-The first object of our organiza-
ton is to marshal the negro voters
into a solid square in defense of Sen
ator Foraker and the negro soldier
Second, to prevent Mr.. Roosevelt
from being his own successor, or
naming him. Third, should we fail
in this then if the democratic nomi-
nee and his party will offer any part
of the olive branch or show any signs
of peace we will join with them to
defeat the republican ticket.
'Mr. Foraker's friends are our
friends. His enemies ours. We may
not be strong enough in our party to
prevent the political assassination of
the senator, but as voters will be
strong enough to punish his assas-
sins. The weakened and slavish
negro brother need not plead Lin
coin, Grant, Sumner, Lovejoy and
others, for they are dead. The prin-
ciples they for and lived for DIV
ciples they fought for and lived for
are dead"
