Already Denver is being dressed

city at this conolave accompanying
the visitors and they too should
be royalty welcomed by our colored
cilizens and made to feel at home
in our midst. The Conolave will
bring thousands of visitors to our
city and these will spend thousands
of dollars and we will receive a
benefit from their coming in many
ways.
The cordial welcome end enter
tainment we may extend to the

of them to locate in our city with
their families and buy homes or

Let every Negro citizen join in the
enthusiasm and help TO make the
Conclave the greatest in lis history
and cause the name of Denver to
be heard throughout every city,
town and village in this country.
We have coIored Knight Temp
lars here and the instruction and
inspiration which they may receive
will be of great benefit to them.
Denver has built a wonderful rep
utation as convention city and
this Conclave will cliuch our rep
utation in that respect. 1t is Just
as much our duty to help make a
bigger and better Denver as any
other citizen and by joining in the

Groton Independents The call for

to be most timely nnoy emeilta call
Which shonld receive cordial response

fallacious. Keep in mind that all

readily see the foolishness of stirring

they went back to where Chaffee wa.
