RIVALS TO Dine
AT SAME BOARD
TAFT AND BRYAN TO BE GUESTS
AT BIG BANQUET IN
CHICAGO.
NON-P0LITICAL EVENT
CONVENTION OF THE LAKES TO
GULF DEEP WATERWAY
ASSOCIATION.

Chicago.-For the first time in the
history of modern politics two rival
candidates for the presidency of the
United States will meet at the same
board and address the same audience,
when William H. Taft. Republican, OF
Ohio, and William J. Bryan, Democrat,
of Nebraska, are to be the guests OF
honor at the annual banquet of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce, at the
Auditorium on the evening of October
It'll.
This announcement was made Fri
day at the headquarters of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce.
There will be no question as to
which of the candidates will occupy
the right-hand seat. 1t will be occu-
pied by Mr.. Taft at the express wish
and with the full approval of the Dem
ocratic nominee and his friends.
Chairman Mack declared that Taft, as
recent member of the present ad-
ministration, was clearly entitled to
the place of honor at the feast. The
Ohioan, therefore, will sit at the right
hand of President Hall and the Nebras-
kan on the left.
The meeting of the two candidates
will differ from the meeting of the ma
tional candidates In the state of ILL
nois forty-eight years ago. when Abra-
ham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas
began their famous debates, by reason
of the inhibition placed on political
discourse. An attendance of about
1000 persons is expected at the BAN
quet.
In addition TO the great banquet
room of the Auditorium, the rooms ad-
joining on The ninth floor of the Fine
Arts building have been secured, and
the whole will be thrown together for
the occasion.
1t already had been announced that
Taft would open the third convention
of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Water
way Association, for which the Asso.
citation of Commerce will act as host,
on the afternoon OF October eth, and
that Bryan would close 1t on October
9Th. and that Taft would be the guest
of honor at the banquet on the even
ing of October eth. Bryan's accep-
lance of the dinner invitation. how
ever. assuring a notable occasion, came
as pleasant surprise. Taft's accep-
lance was obtained by President Rich
ard c. Hail, Vice President E. F. Con
way and Secretary T. E. Wilder of the
association. who returned to Chicago
Thursday from Cincinnati.
The long-distance telephone figured
prominently in the negotiations to Sc
cure the presence of Bryan at the ban
quet. The invitation had been under
serious consideration by Norman E.
Mack, chairman of the national com
mittee. for some time. and at late
hour Thursday night he called up
Bryan. then at Terre Haute. Indiana,
on the long-distance telephone
Bryan had retired for the night, but
answered the call. He was informed,
as Taft had been. that the banquet
would be non-political one. and that
1t would be held under the auspices
of non-political organization. He
agreed to attend. The deep water
ways project is favored by the leaders
of both parties. and is not. therefore
subject over which any political
discussion is expected.

part of the state. who have been under
the impression that not more than 200

reason for the increase is that moose
