of the Committee is Called
The committee in charge Of the Dig
rally in this city next Monday on the
occasion Of the departure OF SyI DIX
pms Mckinley corn train for st. LOUIS
nave now received the half fare excur-
sion rates on all railroads.
This insures as big crowd as mas
ever been in Wichita and never has
there been a greater attraction
The corn train will be an attraction in
itself that will be worth coming miles
to see. The decorations are better
than a circus and it will take fully two
hours 10 see them all in order to get
full satisfaction and amusement out of
them.
Mr. Dixon is putting the decorations
on at Oatville so that when the train is
brought in here the decorations will be
new to the home people.
This will be the most novel and inter-
esting train ever run and 1t was gotten
up wholly in the interest of Major Nc
Kinleys boom. 1t will pass through the
heart of Kansas and Missouri, and
lucky, indeed, will be the towns that 1t
will pass through. That there will be
crowds come in from the country to
every city it passes through, there will
be no doubt 1t will be a train that the
children now living will tell their
grandchildren about in the next cen
fury.
Apart from the train the induce
ments for a big rally will be great. Just
Imagine the list of speakers who viii
address the people. The Peerless In
gals, he Of the mighty brain, he Of uni
versal fame, he whose name inspires
the loftiest pride of Kansas. Ingalls,
will speak here and add fresh laurels
to his victory Of genius. With him will
be ]. r. Burton and Sutton and a great
many more who are distinguished for
their oratory or for their political pres
tige, position and ambition.
Such a day has never been seen in
the west since the great debates OF
Douglas and Lincoln, forty years ago.
II will be the field day of Kansas
politics. 1t will be a reunion of the
men who will lead the forces to victory
next fall 1t will be the great medicine
dance OF the year in Kansas. Syl Dix
ons forty orators will be present and
they will all have something to say. II
the crowd Is too large to hear one
speaker, overflow meetings will be held
to accommodate all
The town should be painted red, white
and blue. The stars and stripes will
float and hang everywhere for all kinds
of people. Republicans, Democrats,
Pops, Prohibitionists and everybody
are showing a willingness to decorate.
Everybody for 200 miles around
should take down their calendar, stick
pin on June and come here on that
day at all hazards, or miss the biggest
show since the worlds fair.
