Preparations ,. for th Democratic national convention, i Hrhlch la to be held at Pnver Next July, ; fire well under way and the, local com 'mlttee which Is working with the na v ttonat rommHfa has Its plaTia laid so 1 well that the big meeting will be han . died In a manner that will reflect grea't ; credit on the city of Denver. To understand how determined the t people of Denver are to make the con vontion a success, it should be known - that a committee consisting of promf . rent business rand professional men Is In active charge of local details, such as arranging for hotel accommodations, - formulating- plans to entertnin the del,e , gales and their friends, suggesting dec y orative schemes for tlje city, and many other little matters that must be looked ; After at a big meeting like the one ,' scheduled to open In the Denver audi torium on July 7 of this year. r. 1 Committes Beleoted., , This committee is working with, and - Under the authority of, the committee 'iof arrangements ot the Democratic na- tlonal committee, that is headed by , former Governor John E. Osborne of Wyoming. The local committee Is headed fey . Charges W. Franklin, an at torney, as chairman; W. F. R. Mills, , ecretary: Mayor Robert W. Spcer. C. M. Day, Harry E. Insley. Charles F. . Wilson and John F. Snafroth. Mr. Mills is secretary of the Cham ber . of commerce, Mr. Day la general agent lor tne Aaams express company in Denver, Mr. Insley is commissioner of supplies for the city, Mr. Wilson is city auditor and Mr. Stiafroth Is a ; ,'pronjinent attorney who , was once a member of congress from Colorado. 1 The chief function of this committee is to see that nothing is left undone that might contribute to the suocess of s the convention. The committee sprang from the Convention league, a body of business and professional men organ- : ised for the purpose of securing con ventions for Denver. The members of this league belong to various political parties, -and politics is not a factor in its deliberations-. The members worked , Just a - hard to seetfte the Ttepubllcan convention for Denver as they did to land the Democratic meeting, and onee the -Democrats decided- te -hold their con vention In Denver the league took oft Its collective coat and went to work. 1 Republicans working shoulder to shoul der with Democrats in an effort to 'make good." , Act Wit Spirit. This is the spirit that is behind the men who are now laboring to overcome the prejudice that sprang up when Den--'er was selected. In the west men long ago learned the lesson that ln union there Is strength," and when It comes to a Question of public welfare the men of the west have no patience with carp ing critics" who Una fault merely be cause their small souls cannot rise to me exigencies or Dig tnings. jsvery man must be a builder In this part of the world, else be is out of place and a hindrance to the workers. The one great object of the committee at present Is to impress the people Of other states with the fact that DenMer can handle the convention. Stones to the effect that -hotel accommodations are inadequate are absolutely false. And as to the auditorium, that building, which,. is. ln the- process of construction, when completed-will be the finest con vention hall In America, There are not less than 160 good ho tels in Denver, all modern brick or stone structures, and as comfortable and well equipped as those of any city in the united states, in addition, there are numerous rooming and apartment nouses, and many private rami lies are preparing ' to set aside one or more rooms for the big occasion. Therefore any person Who believes he or she will have to sleep In the street? or In a tent during the Democratic convention next July need not abandon what will be a pleasant visit for fear that hetel ac commodations cannot be obtained. Delegates who have not secured reser vations for rooms -or who have experi enced any difficulty in getting accom modations in advance, should write to the chairman or the hotel committee, room 178, Albany hotel, Denver, and their requests will receive prompt at tention. Perfect Weather Promised. The weather In Colorado during July is perfect. While trie sun muy be In tense at mid-day, the temperature in the shade is always cool and there is ever a shady side of the street in Den ver. The convention hall Is situated In the heart of the business section, within easy walking distance of the leading hotels. Denver hns four out door amusement resorts where one can see a good bill in the theatre, either light opera, vaudeville or drama. .Den ver has one of the best .streetcar sys tems in the world, 175 miles all told. The principal recreation ground is City park, which 20 years ago was nothing mora than open prairie. Its flower beds are the marvel of visitors. In this alti tude, one mile -above sea level, flowers take on a .'wonderful metallic hue. Globe "trotters -say--that tire flowers In Colorado surpass In color those of any other part of the world. Denver is the capital or Colorado and the handsome and imposing state house is located on Capitol Hill, just back of the business district of the city. On Capitol Hill are elegant mansions of brick and stone thai are not surpassed In any city. then tne mountains', one never for-. gets the mountains. One, two and three days' trips can be taken into the Rock l:s from Denver to pleasure resorts, where refreshing and healing water can be drunk, hours can be spent In exploring mysterious gulches and In spiring canyons and sweet and peace ful sleep may be enjoyed at night. The nights are never warm in Colorado, even on the plains. If you want to enjoy your vacation next summer, come to Denver during the Democratic national convention. Denver -will welcome you and you will have no trouble about securing a room, according to your means, at reasonable prices. You will be astounded when you see what a hustling modern city Denver really is", and yO will be sur- 1 prised to learn that the "wild and woolly" west, so far as Denver and most of Colorado ts concerned, is a thing of the past and that Indians do rrot roam the streets Of Denver, and that the cowboy and gun fighter have been elbowed out of this particular nook of the world. The cowboy still holds forth In soma parts of Colorado, , but Denver is as much of a "wilderness of brick and mortar" to him as your cities .of the east or south. Denver Is . as high as it is "way down east." We have 180 churches, a Dublio . library ' containing 100,000 volumes, -which will soon be housed In a Carnegie building, and a state library. Center of Trade. Of course this Is not all Denver has, but it -woTJtd reauirc more space than any newspaper would permit to tell of ner possessions ana resources, sue is the center of trade In this part of the world and the mineral and agricultural wealth of the state is piling up higher and higher each year, causing the city to grow steadily and substantially. Colorado's total manufacturing out put last year was estimated at 1191,000, 000. Rawmaerlals produced, $265,000, 000, of which $113,500,000 was accred ited to agriculture, dairy and poultry. The frnlt production was estimated at $7,000,000; beet sugar, $25,000,000; live stock. $30,0X10,00; gold, nearly $27,000, 000, and silver, a little over $8,000,000. contrary to the general Idea, it will be seen from these figures that the prod ucts of the soil exceed In value" the out put of precious metals. ' We are "way out west" so far as dis tance is reckoned. "way down east," but. we are apart or the United mates and situated almost In the center of our great country; and what is better, we areapoient factor 1n the production of the wealth of the United States, and our hearts be.it with a pride of country, that, In a crisis, is Worth more than can be estimated In dollars and cents. Yes. Denver will handle the Demo cratic national convention satisfactorily 10 an concerned, never rear aoout that Reports to the contrary are false alarms that will be discovered long before next July. GUILD W N 4 TO TIE PUCE Governor of Massachusetts , Says He Is Not Eunning Away From Taft Ticket. ?.. (United'PteSaleaed Wire.) ' 5 Boston, Mass., Feb. 29. "I am' neither running after it, nor away from it," paid .Governor Curtiu Guild of Massa chusetts laughingly, when asked today regarding tne use or ins name as tne vice-presidential candidate with Secre tary Taft, should the latter be nomi nated for president. 'The nomination for vice-president," aid Governor Guild, "hangs absolutely upon the ' choice of the president and eannot be determined Until the first Slace is settled. No man can be a can ldate for vice-president. No candidate for president has attempted to make any deal with me and 1 have made a deal with none. We are In the middle of a somewhat exciting session of the legislature and I am attending to my own work to the best of by ability." Asked as to how the Massachusetts delation to Chicago would stand, dovernor Guild said: . ko one can tell at present Just where the Massachusetts delegates will be. At least they will be against no can didate mentioned. As among the men rjcntloned, I think the mass of the peo- ,ple prefer Secretary Taft." CB0SLEY NOTES' BODY ,;, BURIED YESTERDAY LOCAL LABORATORY TO BEGIN PURSUIT OF MICROBES AT ONCE The government food laboratory now being equipped on the third floor of the Worcester buiUing, Third and Oak streets, will begin making tests next week. R. E. Doolittle, chief chemist of the New York laboratory, is superin tending the work of installing tlio ap paratus. The Portland laboratory will be larger than the San Francisco laboratory and will be equipped so that it may become tne most important rood testing station on the Pacific const. There is more room In the laboratory In Portland than In either the Seattle or San Francisco stations. Ef R. Lyman, formerly of the Ban Francisco testing station, will have charge for & few months. A. I,. Kniso ly of the Oregon Agricultural collene will come later. Mr. Knisley Im prepar ing for the work at Washington. Mr. Knlsely and Mr. Lyman will work to gether In Portland. The work of the laboratory will bo purely goverrimental. Federal food In spectors gather the food made In one state and sold in another and bring it to the laboratories where It is tested. The chemists will also test imported foods. No city or state work will be done accept incidentally. The laboratory Is established under the federal pure ioou law ana is one or is now established In different cities all over the United States. The laboratory In Portland Is one of the best equipped in the country, according to Mr. Lyman. Mr. Lvman for the past few months has been as-' signed to the New York laboratory. Other similar stations are now being Installed at Seattle, Denver, Omaha, St ttaul, Kansas City, New Orleans, Gal veston, Savannah, Chicaco, Detroit, Cin cinnati and Buffalo. Stations have al ready been established at New York. Boston, San Francisco, Washington and Philadelphia. Each of them have from two to ten chemists connected with the laboratory besides' a helper or two. There will be two chemists and a helper in Portland to begin with, but Mr. Ly man thinks it is the intention of the eovernment to enlaree the forcR nnnn because of the big preparations being made. Mr. Lyman thinks It is only a short period before the city of Portland will have to install a laboratory. Every state and large cltv will have to have its own laboratories In order to protect its people from impure foods, says Mr. Lyman, for the government only pro tects the states against other states and foreign importations. h?r1lnB.ton D' C- Feb. 29.
