for the banquet to be given
Tuesday evening, all the arrangements
for the coming of William Jennings
Bryan are complete.
Directors of the Democratic club,
under the auspices Of which the ban

today at the rooms of the club and
decide upon the list of speakers and
the subject each speaker will discuss.
All the speeches, with the exception
of that to be made by Mr. Bryan, will
be restricted to five minutes, in order
that the guest of the evening may not
be embarrassed by a lack of time in
which to deliver his address, which is
expected to be an important political
effort.

banquet We're made to the committee
yesterday, and Anthony Schwamm
last night expressed the belief that all
of the 600 tickets will be sold by Mon
day night.
