THE NATIONAL.

The Heart of the Rocky Mountains.
Dwight Elmendorf yesterday afternoon
delighted a large audience at the Ma
tional with the first OF his 1912 series
Of beautifully illustrated travel talks.
This year. instead OF going abroad for
material. Mr.. Elmendorf made an ex-
tended tour through the West. and yes
terday gave. his fellow travellers an op-
portunity of viewing some OF the won
ders of their own land, acting as guide
on journey to and through The
Heart of the Rocky Mountains"
Starting the afternoons tour at Dem
yer, Mr.. Elmendorf showed many street
scenes and places OF interest in and
around the city. Probably the most in
teresting OF the pictures taken in the
Colorado city were two-one taken in
1855 and the other in 19l2-showing by
comparison the remarkable growth en-
joyed by the busy Western metropolis
Leaving Denver a stop was made At
Colorado Springs with its many fine
homes. and the Journey resumed to the
famous mining towns of Cripple Creek
and Victor. Motion pictures taken from
the train to and from Cripple Creek to
Colorado Springs afforded an excellent
idea OF the picturesque mining country.
A drive through the Garden Of the Gods
with gIimpes OF the many curious rock
II fsN ldfnous.
a trip up to the top of Pixies Peak.
rnow-capped and wintry looking on the
3rd of July. proved most interesting.
Through the Royal Gorge Of the Ar
kansas and the Marshall Pass. a glimpse
of another mining town. Leadville. and
Eagle Canyon and the Black Canyon
were visited. The remarkable peublo Of
Tatos. with many unusual photogra aphic
studies of the Indian inhabitants. and
motion pictures showing the young
bucks running for Office" as Mr.. Ell
mendorf expressed il. ieetness of foot
apparently being a prime requisite for
office holding in the peublo. concluded
a most interesting series.
Another dip into the mining country.
with stops at Durango and Silverton.
and numerous views Of the various
famous mines OF that Part of the
country: another stop at Ouray. and
then a series OF unusual motion pictures
showing a train passing through a can
yon. and one giving an excellent idea
Of the great natural beauty of the
Rocky Mountain scenery: canyon
party. with a few amusing sidelights on
the tourists in the vicinity, and the jour-
ney ended after a trip by automobile up
the twistings and turnings Of the Crys-
tai Park Drive.
Next Thursday afternoon at 40 Mr..
Elmendorf will lecture on THE Grand

Senator Moses Z. Clapp delivered the
chief address, He criticised especially the
attitude Of the Democratic platform and
candidates on the tariff. and character
lied Mr.. Wilson as n good schoolmaster
who would probably make a poor Presi-
dent. He said that Mr.. Wilson's tariff
ideas would carry the country back to
the Cleveland regime.
As compared with this. Senator Clapp
declared that the position OF Theodore
Roosevelt on the tarif was one OF pro-
gressive ideas. up to date, and in con-
sonance with the best thought Of the
time.
Frank J. Hogan spoke brieny. confin-
ing his remarks to the platform OF the
Progressive party. He distributed copies
and asked the voters Of Falls Church
to read 1t. and then to decide whether
1t would not be a safe guide for a four
years. administration in Washington.
Other speakers were Frank 7. Evans.
nominee for Congress from that district,
and w. w. Wright.
A. s. Woodland. a prominent citizen Of
