5' " Denver, Col., Feb. .29. 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.

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."

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.
