RosroN,s PLANS FOR 1920.

The Boston Herald has announced
the inception of a new movement &c
commemorate the three-hundredth an
niversary of the landing of the Pill

nouncement is made rather early, as
before the gates are thrown open Mr
Bryan will probably have run twice
for the. presidency and be preparing
to make another try.
Boston believes this. early announce
ment, is necessary, however, in order
that the world shall know that the
United States reserves the year 1926
for worlds fair. Boston and New
England, too, feels that it needs lots
of time on such an undertaking, and
the intervening years will be given lc
plans and preparations for an exposi
ton on a scale and magnitude com
mensurate with the Importance Of the
event which was the birth Of the
American nation.
1t is pointed out by the Bostonesc
that New England alone, of all parts
Of the United States, has never had
Its worlds fair, and New England be
lieves that the national and universal
interest in the historic event which
the exposition will commemorate vii

and support of the American people
