DENVER, Colo, Aug. 29-In this
state, under Democratic control in all
branches, Theodore Roosevelt received
more cordial and enthusiastic recep-
tion than in any other part of the
United States he has visited during
his present journey through the west.
An unqualified Endorsement was given
him by both Governor Shafroth and
Mayor Speer. In the presence of an
audience filling every part of the great
auditorium, Governor Shafroth said:
Speaking of the three essential quail
ities-honesty, courage and persever-
ance-we have the courage of Lincoln,
the endurance of Jackson and the per-
severance of Grant embodied in TheO-
dore Roosevelt"
AS soon as the long continued DEM
onstration by the assemblage died out,
Mayor Speer, turning to Colonel Roose-
welt, declared:
"The great majority of Republicans
throughout the west and many Demo-
Gratis will not be silent until they see
you at the helm of the great nation"
The great hal, where the Democratic
national convention of 1908 was held,
contained nearly $4,000 persons, many
of whom had waited for hours in the
summer heat But when the former
president appeared on the platform the
great audience arose and cheered him
heartily, waving handkerchiefs amid
cries of Hello, Teddy!''
