IOWA SPECIAL FROM OTTUMWA
CLAUDE M. MYERS, DELEGATE
FROM SIXTH DISTRICT WILL
HAVE CHARGE,
REPRESENTS STATE
Delegates, Politicians and Prominent Men of State Will Assemble
in Ottumwa for Start.
The National Democratic convention at Denver, Colo., July 7, promises to attract immense crowds. Not only delegates and alternates and prominent politicians and press representatives, but many other people will make the trip, just to see the city and the crowds and to note how the western metropolis will handle the convention.
Plans are being worked out for the Iowa special which leaves Ottumwa on the morning of July 5. Delegates and tourists and politicians will gather here from all parts of the state to take advantage of the special train leaving this city,representing the Sixth Congressional district of Iowa and incidentally the whole state.
Claude M. Myers, delegate from the Sixth will make it his special business to see to it that Iowans are well taken care of. The home of William Jennings Bryan at Lincoln, Neb., is on the main line of the Burlington, and all trains bound for Denver stop there. Those desiring to stop over at Lincoln may do so within the transit limit of their tickets, on application to train conductors. Sleeping car bertha will be reserved now, on application to J. P. O'Malley, of Perry, Iowa.
Iowa headquarters at Denver will be at the Brown Palace hotel, where a large room on the seoond floor has been engaged for the purpose, adjoining the headquarters o fthe national democratic committee. For those of the tourists who prefer scenery to politics, there will be much of interest in Denver herself, and in addition, there are side trips that will keep the most energetic sightseers busy.
Trains for Denver will leave Omaha via the Burlington route, Sunday, July 5, at 4:10 p. m., and the Iowa state special train will leave Omaha the same day at 5 p. m.
Other big delegations from the east will use the Burlington route to the convention. And those who will remain at home will have something to see of the big show for the Tammany braves and the other New York delegations, and the unterrltled from Illinois and the Cook county marching club and many other big delegations will be going to Denver over the Burlington and will take a few minutes at least to see Ottumwa.

Ho, for Denver!. The great democratic national convention will th>a year be held in Denver beginning Tuesday, July 7, and thousands of people who have never been west of the Mississippi will visit this beautiful Colorado city.
Denver never does anything by halves. It chipped in $100,000 to get this convention because It wanted to get people to Colorado to see the beauties of its scenery, its mountains, its clean streets, its irrigated farms, its process of dry farming, Its mineral wealth, its fishing, its hunting, its smelters and its opportunities for investment.
It has only been a few years since Denver was regarded as being In the far west. Now this great, growing hustling city is looked upon as being only the gateway to the west. It is alive. It does things. Its atmosphere generates enthusiasm, health and buoyancy.
The national convention is an added attraction and a reason why every one should go to Denver this year. The city of Denver, the state of Colorado and the national convention are reasons why we should all go to Denver and the special train that leaves here Sunday morning, July 5, at 7:30 o'clock is the way we should go.
This train will be equipped with the Burlington's best chair cars, standard and tourist sleepers and buffet cars. It will be known as "The Sixth District Special," and will bp one of the finest trains that will run into Denver during convention week. All those who want to go to Denver on this special train can, by writing at once, to Claud Myers, chairman, or W. 8. Parker, agent, Ottumwa, Iowa, get the round trip ticket from Ottumwa to Denver on this train, good to return over any route desired, up to October 31, for $21.75.
This ticket will include a side trip to Colorado Springs or Pueblo, over the Colorado Southern or D. & R. G., without extra charge. Sleeping accommodations in the tourist sleepers from Ottumwa to Denver will cost $2.25 and in standard Pullman, $4.50 in addition to the $21.75. No extra charge for chair cars. This "Sixth District Special" train will give the people of this district and their friends a chance to make the trip from Ottumwa to Denver and enjoy the company of their acquaintances all the way.
