THOUSANDS WILL ATTEND.

Many Trainloads Of Delegates and
Visitors, and Thousands From
Neighboring Counties Will At
tend the Two Big Conventions
Next week-The State Csnven-
ton at Canton and National
Convention ct Sioux Falls.
From inquiries for accommodations
being received daily by the hotel people
and from correspondence between dele
gates and the various committees it may
be safely predicted that Canton will
entertain next week the largest number
81 visitors frpm outside the county that
have yet been IN this city at one time:
There will be representation Of 800
delegates in the convention, which will
mean that over 1900 people will arrive
on the various trains next Monday and
Tuesday. But they will be well cared
for. The visitors will find Canton
keeping open house next week and they
will find also that should there be an
overflow at Sioux Falls on account of
the national convention, this city may
be relied upon to take care of part of
the overflow.
Prominent speakers and party leaders
will be here in numbers. Among those
who have accepted invitations or signi-
fed an intention of being present are
Senators Pettigrew and Butler and
Congressman Towne, although of course
it is yet too early to make upa complete
The railroads are making special
rates to the two conventions, and many
who had at first figured upon attending
the national convention at Sioux Falls
have rearranged their plans that they
may take in both the national and the
state conventions.
