The Pueblo, Colo, st2tr-Journal re-
fleets the sentiment Of the people of
the Centennial state with regard to the
coming encalnpment in the following
article recently appearing in its COL
5umns:
COLORADO should give hearty sup-=
port to the national encanpment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic. that is tn
be held in August at Salt Lake CITY
This entire section of the country
should labor earnestly for the success
of any great national gathering held
within its confines and not Salt Lax.
City, but all of the Rock " mount ain re
gion has been honored by the selection
of our neighhor city by the veterans.
colorado being the largest in point
of population OF any of the states dt-
.ectly bordering upon Utah, should
certainly send the banner delegation to
the encampnent, especially since the
expense or attendance is less for this
state than for any other.
The railroads haze done i heir best
10 promote the success of tie gather
ing, and especially in Colorado, the
Denver e. Rio Ghande, which Is the
official route, has made we'll nigh per-
feet arrangements for the acaomnloda-
tlon OF the veterans and others who ].
wish to visit the enca,lpment. II
1T will be to this states everlasting
disgrace if it fails to take advantage
Of these opportunities and to show pro
sper courtesy to its sister and neignbor
state and respect to the veterans of the
great civil struggle, and it is believed
that no such stigma will attach to
Colorado but that the Centennial state
will rise to Its opportunities and DEM
oustrate that it IS rightly regarded us
the leading commonwealth Of the
Rocky mountain section
