Bryan's swing through southern and
central New Jersey today will attract
record breaking crowds. The Com
omner will speak in Washington
park, Gloucester city, at this after
noon; in Burlington at twilight, and
in Trenton tonight Besides these
set speeches he will probably deliver
several brief extemporaneous talks to
the thousands of voters who will
gather at the stations through which
he and his campaign aides will pass
by train on their way from Camden
to this city.
Mr.. Bryan will find New Jersey
friendly state, and will doubtless
be surprised and gratified at the won
derful change in the political drift
that has taken place since he was
nominated at Denver.
The threatened hitch in the plans
made by the New Jersey committee
delegated to entertain the presidential
candidate will not come to pass.
State Committeeman Charles H. Gal
lagher, chairman of the committee,
was notified yesterday afternoon that
Philadelphia Bryan men had aban-
doned their plans to kidnap Mr..
Bryan for couple of hours today,
and that as q result the arrangements
originally made for the entertain
ment of the distinguished guest by
the Jerseymen will be carried out to
the letter
Chairman Gallagher and the other
members of the Ommittee-Thomas
Flynn, of Passaic; Johnston Cornish,
of Warren, and Judge Wills, of Glou-
cester-went to Wilmington, Del,
this morning, arriving there in time
to meet Mr.. Bryan and party on the
trip up from Baltimore, in which city
he spoke last night. The Jerseymen
will extend sincere greetings to the
candidate and escort him to Philadel-
phia, where they will arrive shortly
before noon, via the B. & o. They
will go direct to the Bellevue-Strat-
ford hotel, where luncheon will be
served and Mr.. Bryan given an OPP
/ ta,-s. II
quietly with the New Jersey leaders.
The party will arrive at Washing
ton park in time for the Nebraskan
to discuss the issues involved in his
candidacy for at least an hour. Will
liam ]. Thompson, who has done
everything possible to make the meet
/ ing one of the greatest that the cam
didate will address during the cam
paign, predicts that not less than
$4,000 persons will be on hand to
hear the speech
Immediately after Mr.. Bryan con-
cludes at Washington park special
trolley cars will be. boarded and a
quick run made to Camden, where
the party will start on their trip to
Trenton. They will occupy a parlor
observation car, and from the rear
/
braskan will have opportunity to ad-
dress great crowds at the various
stations enroute up the state.
1t is planned to make short stop
at Burlington, the home of James H.
Birch, one of the original Bryan men
in New Jersey. AS a special compli-
ment to his loyal friend, Mr.. Bryan
will leave the train and deliver a
speech from a platform erected in
the depot grounds.
A great welcome awaits the can
didate on his arrival in Trenton at
$50 p. m. Hundreds will greet him
as he emerges from the Clinton street
station. He will be taken to the Ho-
tel Sterling, where State Committee
man Gallagher will be host at a din
ner previous to the meeting.
The doors Of TaylOr's opera house
will be opened at 7.3O tonight. All
the seats in the body OF the theatre
will be free. Former Mayor Frank
| S. Katzenbach, Jr., will preside, and
