You Can't Elect Him.

Once in while we meet awell

Speaking of the Bryan banquet in
Kansas City last Monday evening
the Kansas City Journal says:
1.-THE banquet was successful beyond
a doubt. and will likewise go down In
history as one Of the greatest politi.
cal dinners ever held. The Taft ban.
quet few weeks ago was conceded
at that time to have been the peer of
them all but the one of last night was
on a greater scale. There were
more in attendance aud the details
were more carefully planned and car
ried out"

Bryan Not COMING.

+ After exhausting every effort
the committee of the Bryan club
who we're trying to arrange for a
date here for Bryan are compell-
ed to give it up. As previously
stated bis present trip was planned
and schedule before any Of the To-
cal Bryan..men knew of its contem-
plation. and there also had been
arranged to gil promises of dates
made some time ago. The local
committee here thought that by
running a special train a speech
here could be added. but the
arrangements at the other towns
had so far progressed. and the
chances of getting laid out are so
numerous, that it was not desired
advisable to attempt a meeting
here. If everything would work
alright it would be all right. but
you have all heard that there is.
