Show I STRANGERS AHE COMING. In the late days of .Mine the Democratic national convention will be the first tune in the political history of the country that a na-1 tional convention of cither party has been held in the west the west that we know. Nearly all the great leaders of the party in power will be present, pres-ent, and a great majority of them wUl pass through here en. route going and coming, as Ogden is on the central highway of the nation. Bearing this fact in mind, wpuld it not be advisable to plan sonm method of publicity whereby the great stream of convention delegates dele-gates and sight-seers may be made aware of Ogden 's industrial and scenic attractions. This city should be recognized as one of the most delightful rest points in breaking the monotony of four days' travel necessary in crossing the continent. But once more the question comes up: Will the hotel accommodations prove pleasing and can Ogden adequately lodge and care for any laige number of visitors? This reminds us Kat Ogclen o grow must get out of the strait-jacket strait-jacket that now prohibits growth. More buildings are a necessity. More homes, a big hotel and .ore buildings of every description arc needed. .Even in office buildings there is a pinching out of tenants, so scarce is office room, and, as to homes, the situation is deplorable. Whole families are unable to get proper accommodations. |
