1908 Denver Democratic National Convention

From July 7 -10, 1908, the Democratic National Convention took place in Denver, Colorado at the Denver Arena Auditorium.  That year, the delegates nominated William Jennings Bryan for their Presidential candidate and John Kern for Vice President.

For the event, the Mayor built an elaborate fountain in City Park to greet visitors. This fountain is being rebuilt for the 2008 event.

Special thanks to the Denver Public Library for these historic photos of that exciting time.
