THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The official call for the Democratic national convention as' issued by Chairman Taggart is as follows: “The Democratic national committee, having met in the city of Washington on the 12th day of December, 1907, haa appointed Tuesday, the 7th day of J uly, 1908, as the time and chosen Denver, Col., as the place for holding the Democratic national convention.

“Each state is entitled to representation therein equal to double the number of its senators and representatives in the congress of the United States, and each territory, Alaska, District of Columbia Hawaii and Porto Rioo shall have six delegates. All Democratic citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with ns in the effort for a pure, economical and constitutional government, are cordially invited to join in sending delegates to the convention.” Under the above call the national convention will contain about 1,000 delegates. The wording of the call is wide enough to embrace all persons who are willing to join the Democratic party in overthrowing the Repnblican party and its trust allies, and by so doing restore the government to the people. And it is worth while to remember that the people are going to be very much in evidence in the 1908 campaign.
