Jan. 11. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Denver has let forth the most lusty protest of any of the cities that were disappointed in failing to secure iarm iloan banks. Kach of the Colorado sen ators Belied the first rhance that came ' after congress met following the re cess to tell Just how he feels about It Denver's disappointment was par ticularly keen because the Colorado ; metropolis felt almost sure It would secure one of the banks. The hand some majority received by President Wilson in the state was thought to I lend persuasive power to the Denver ' argument. ' Denver, it seems, feels especially hurt because the bank for its district f goes to Wichita, the district including ", the states or Kansas, Oklahoma. Colo , rado and New Mexico. Senator Thomas , said hecould see "no Intelligent rea eon'1 for Ignoring 4he Denver territory, ; and Penator .Shafroth Introduced a bill to creato a new district of Colorado, ; Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico. , No names were mentioned on the : floor of the senate, but critics of Wich 'i Ha are Inclined to attribute the selec i tlon of that town to Charles E. Lob ; dell, the Kansas member of the farm 'lo9n board. Judge I,obdeU'B home town Is Cireat Kend, about 90 miles north - west of Wichita. It is said to be within the Wichita "sphere of influ ; ence," rather thau In the group with I Topeka or Kansas City. i - Senator Shafroth made as one point f of his criticism that -there is no farm "loan bank for a stretch of 1400 miles. ; from Wichita to Berkeley. Senator 1 Horah suggested that one reason may I be that the law does hot provide a method for loans on reclamation pro ; jects until after the government's lien is extinguished, which he termed a de . fet-l of the law.
