departed for their homes, and each
state head had nothing but praise for
Colorado and Denver.
Governors w. II. Mann OF Virginia,
w. T. Haines Of Maine, o. B. Colquitt
of Texas, Francis e. McGovern of
Wisconsin and Emmett O'Neal of Ala
bama, were among the last of the ex-
ecutives to depart from Denver. And
each governor said that next to his
own state he would rather live In
Colorado than any other.
Denver is one of the most pro-
gressive cities | have ever visited"
declared Governor McGovern. He
found no one who would dispute him
as he looked about the lobby Of the
hotel, so he refused to argue the mat
ter.
"It is so placed" he continued,
that it. cannot help but grow steadily
as long as this world turns around as
it has a habit of doing. One thing
which would like to see Denver have
is large army post at Fort Logan.
And l cannot see how the Department
of War can do otherwise than tend to
this matter in the right way.
Denver is the logical geographical.
climatic and commercial center Of the
west, and it should be given great
military support. War or no war,
city such as this gains a great deal
by having a military significance and
the government could find no better
spot in the west in which to place an
extensive headquarters than here.
And think that, 1t would be matter
Of economy, too. to place soldiers
here for provisions are very reason
able all over Colorado.
"Yes, sah,i said Governor Mann Of
Virginia, this is city that you all
have built. 1t reminds me OF the
cities of the south. it is SO comfort
able to look upon and its people are
SO hospitable. All the governors are
pleased with their cordial welcome
both here and at Colorado Springs"
Governor Ammons had but one set
back in the entertainment of the gov
ernors. He threatened at the be-
ginning of the conference to marry
Governor McGovern to a Colorado girl.
Governor McGovernf is known among
his fellow executives as the bachelor
governor" but he left this state still
