for his entertainment which might In
any way interfere with the lecture.
Trip to Catalina Planned
Aside from expressing the wish that
every effort be made by his friends to
assure the success Of the lecture, Mr..
Bryan has made only one request re-
latlng to plans which might be formu-
lated for his entertainment, and that
was to give him and his wife time in
which to make the trip to Catalina Is
land
Mr.. Bryan on his previous visit to
Los Angeles was unable on account of
lack of time to cross the channel to the
pressed regret and declared that his
next visit to Los Angeles certainly
would include a trip to Catalina.
In addition to Mr.. Bryan's desire to
make the trip this will be Mrs. Bryan's
first visit to Southern California, and
she, too, has expressed a wish to see
the island which she has read and
heard so much about.
AS a result former Mayor M. P. Sny-
der and Nathan Cole, jr., have planned
trip to the island for tomorrow, the
return to be made In time for the
banquet in the evening.
| Invited to accompany Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan are the members of the various
committees having in charge the ar
rangements for the coming of Mr..
Bryan, together with their wives.
Great Political Event
Tomorrow night will occur the BAN
uuet in honor of Mr.. Bryan, which will
be given under the auspices of the
Democratic club.
In addition to being an enjoyable
social affair, the banquet Is expected
to prove great political event, in view
of the fact that Mr.. Bryan probably
will bring a message which will be the
keynote of the national campaign to
occur next year.
AS result of the possible nature of
the address to be delivered by Mr..
Bryan at the banquet, not only Demo-
Gratis, but Republicans as well,
throughout the country are expected
to be interested in the utterances
which will make of the banquet an
event Of national Importance.
Local Democrats and adherents of
that faith in cities and towns through
out Southern California are greatly in
terested in the event, as demonstrated
by the ready sale of the tickets, and
| it is confidently expected by those haV-
ing the affair in charge that not one
seat out of the 600 around the festal
board will be vacant when Mr.. Bryan
rises to deliver his address.
For the General Public
An event in which the general pub
! lie, regardless of politics, Is invited to
participate in connection with Mr..
Bryan's visit is the reception to be
given the distinguished guest in the
chamber of commerce.
| This reception, which will occur be-
tween 11:30 and 1890 Wednesday, will
be under the auspices of the chamber
of commerce, and it will have no po-
litical significance.
Over hundred of the leading men,
bers of the chamber, regardless of their
political affiliations, have been selected
as a reception committee, and 1t Is
expected that the event will be one of
the most successful affairs of the kind
ever held in the chamber of commerce
building.
Following the banquet Tuesday even
ing Mr.. Bryan will be the guest at
reception to be rendered by the Press
club at it's quarters on First street.
The rooms at the club house will be
handsomely decorated for the occasion
and midnight luncheon will be
served.
Mr.. Bryan will be entertained by
newspaper men because of the fact
that he is the editor of a newspaper,
and the affair will have no political
significance.
In Demand as a Speaker
Many requests have been made for
speeches by Mr.. Bryan, and a second
lecture was planned, but at the re-
quest of Mr.. Bryan this was can
celled
Invitations have been made to Mr..
Bryan throughout his personal friends
for addresses at the Los Angeles and
Polytechnic high schools and at Occi-
dental college, but these requests will
be held in allegiance until Mr.. Bryan
arrives in the city, when he will de-
eide whether the arrangements already
made will permit of his appearance at
any additional functions or making
further remarks.
There is a possibility that he will find
time Wednesday morning and again
Wednesday afternoon to speak at one
or more of the schools, but nothing
definite will be known regarding his
movements until formal announcement
is made after he reaches Los Angeles.
Mr.. Bryan's welcome to Los Angeles
virtually will be official, as Mayor A.
C. Harper is chairman of the commit
tee which will meet the distinguished
guest at the depot.
This committee, which consists of the
original committee on arrangements,
but WITH the substitution of Mayor
Harper as chairman, will gather at the
Arcade depot at 8 o'clock this morn

to the members of the committee Mr..

carriage and driven to the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Cole, jr,
on Pasadena avenue, where they will
be entertained during their stay in
Los Angeles.
The time of the arrival of the train
will determine Mr.. Bryan's movements
during the afternoon. If the train is
materially late 1t is expected that Mr.
Bryan will rest during the time inter-
vening between reaching the Cole resi-
dence and the hour for the delivery of
the lectures, but should the train ar
rive on time the guests may take
ride about the city during the after
