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.

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.
