/ this city who had extended him such ,
royal welcome. Hundreds of men anl
women came direct from the shop, mill
factory and office to take their plac,
in the parade, without having had TIM
to go home for dinner. 1t was an un
usual hour (6:30 p. n.y. to stage &
street parade, and the fact that 5,OOt
or more working men and women parti
cipated but emphasized their purpose anc
determination that labor would not fal
short in showing their appreciation OF
the great work done in behalf of the
toiling masses by President Wilson and
his labor union member of the cabinet.
Secretary of Labor Wilson was in Den
yer just two hours, and they were about
the busiest two hours of his life. The
Union Pacific train from Cheyenne was
an hour late in reaching Denver, so that
the secretary and his party did not have
a chance to go in the parade, nor Sc
cure any dinner. They were driven di-
rectly from the depot to the Audito-
rum, and Immediately after he had con-
cluded speaking the secretary was hur-
ried to the depot again in order to eaten
a $3.50 train for Lincoln, Nebraska, his
next speaking appointment. While the
secretary was speaking two kilograms
were handed the o. p, who acted as
chairman of the meeting, addressed to
Mr.. Wilson. No opportunity to open
and read them was afforded until the
party entered the main waiting room
of the Union station. Both OF these
telegrams referred to Senator Lodge
address in which he declared that the
president had added postscript to his
note to the kaiser on the Lusitania az
fair. saving that the note was for home
consumption and did not mean what II
said One of these kilograms was from
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, asking
Secretary Wilson if it was true that he
and other members of the cabinet mad
threatened to resign unless the presi-
dent withdrew such alleged postscript
After reading the message, Secretary
Wilson handed it to the o. P. with the
statement that the charge of Senator
Lodge was an unmitigated falsehood' as
there was no postscript to the note ana
therefore no occasion for any mehioer
of the cabinet to threaten resignation
unless it was withdrawn. Ihls DOOM

The eOptinistic
Philosopher

~ ENG native of Georgia where
- the people believe in signs, the
o. P. feels safe in predicting the
- overwhelming reelection of Wood
row Wilson as president of the United
States, and julius c. Gunter for gov
ernor of Colorado next Tuesday. Never
in the history of a political campaign
were the signs known to be pointing so
much in one direction as they are this
year. Labor men and women thruout
the nation and in this state are unit
for Wilson and Gunter. As one of our
good friends has SO aptly said, ''It is
not of SO much Importance that labor
is for Wilson and Gunter as it is that
Wilson and Gunter are for labor in this
campaign" Many instances might be
cited as evidence of how the signs point.
We give space to these: A man be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age
came into The Bulletin office one day
this week and stated that he was going
to vote for Wilson, the first time in his
life he had cast a ballot for Demo-
cratic candidate for president, having
always voted the straight Republican
ticket. Besides" said he, "there are
six other voters in my family, hereto
fore Republicans, who will on next Tues
day vote for Wilson and Gunter."-mak-
ing seven votes from one family alone
Again, a prominent Denver Socialist,
who has been a candidate on that ticket
several times, accompanied by his wife,
visited The Bulletin office this week.
Never before" said he, "have 1 voted
for other than a Socialist candidate for
president. This year myself and wife
have concluded to vote for Wilson and
Gunter because We feel that this is
direct contest between capital and labor
and we are going to stand with labor"
Secretary of Labor Wilson's visit to
Denver Friday night of last week was
the climax of mis- campaign thru the
West. He had just completed a tour of
the Pacific coast and intermediate cities
but it was the labor people of Denver
who gave him and the president the
most demonstrative Endorsement. In no
other city had so large a number of
people been afforded opportunity to hear
labor's member of the cabinet speak on
the issues of the campaign. Here the
Woodrow Wilson Labor Campaign Com
mittee had secured the entire city Audi
torium and 10000 earnest men and wom-
en- with a purpose assembled there to
hear him speak. After the meeting Sec
retary Wilson told the o. P. that IL
was the most remarkable labor polit-
ical meeting he had ever witnessed, and
that he would carry back East a good
report of Denver and the citizens of
