Also noted is the July 11 1908 Lawrence Daily World summary of the Democratic convention in Denver nominating John Worth Kern for vice president alongside William Jennings Bryan. The piece mentions Lawrence contemplating direct long distance talks with Denver and Bell Telephone's completion of the first long distance copper link between Kansas City and Denver.
