BIG MEETING IN DENVER.

The Denver Press club will hold
"get-together" banquet on the even
ing of June at Ell Jebel temple To
receive suggestions as to the hest
methods of advertising Colorado. 1t
will be the greatest boost gathering
ever held here, and will initiate
publicity movement that will send the
story of Colorado into every city and
hamlet of the country.
We will have the publishers Of all
the big Denver dailies at the banquet
1t is hard to believe this, hut we
want to assure you that we will be
able to get them into the same room
and we will make them tell us what
they are going to do towards con
structive policy for Colorado. Fur
thermore, we will have the lead Of
every commercial body of the state
inform US what his organization is
doing or intends to do to tell tho world
wake up the mining industry-how
our agricultural interests can be
broadened-the best means of getting
factories established in Colorado, and
other matters that will make for a
greater population and greater to-
tai of wealth.
We are trying to get the head of
every big railroad doing business in
Colorado to promise to attend, the
banquet and give us an idea where
the railroads stand in this big move
ment. We have told them that we
shall want to ask lot of questions
and we believe that they will be glad
to answer US.
The heads of all the big industrie )
of the state have been asked to at
tend, and you may be sure that they
will have something to say that will
be worth listening to.
We think that your chamber of
| commerce should have a strong and
representative delegation at the ban
quet who could tell about your sec
ton of the state-how you are pros
pering and what your future is. In
fact, il would be splendid oppor-
tunity to run special train to Den
yer. Can't you see what an elegant
chance this would give you to boost
your part of the state? Our men,
bers will see to it that you get your
share of publicity in the newspapers.
No chamber of commerce can af-
ford to miss this opportunity of tax
ing a hand in the biggest boost move
ment ever started in this state. The
members of the Denver Press club in
their individual capacity of newspa-
per writer's have always been strong
and persistent boosters for the state,
but up to this time they have never
done anything as an organization. You
know what this means. They never
do anything by halves, and this ban
quet is going to be productive of re-
suits that will give the state the
greatest impetus it has had in years.
We are not goin gto tolerate any "hot
air" We have had enough of that
sort of thing. Unless a man has a
message to deliver, we won't listen
to him.
And by the way, do you know Wal
ter Juan Davis of the Denver Post :?
Sure you do. Everybody who is any
body in Colorado knows him. Well,
Walter is to be toastmaster. Won't
that be grand treat in itself? Wal
ter will make things s:lzle and sparkle
and shed the sunshine of his genius
over this whole grand assemblage Of
Colorado boosters. Think of the fun
Walter will have with Senator T. NJ.
Patterson, Mayor Robert W. Speer,
Harry Tammen, Fred Bonfils, Craw-
ford Hill, William G. Evans of the
Tramway, Henry l.. Doherty of the
gas company, E. B. Field of the Tele-
phone company, John C. Osgood of
the Victor Fuel company, Cass Her
rington of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company and other celebrities who will
be speakers on this occasion.
