FOR BRYAN TRIP
WhIRLWIND STATE TOUR
FINAL DETAILS OF COMMON
ER'S |. AND r. CAMPAIGN
ARE ARRANGED.

BILE the Bryan special through Arkan-
sas will be one of the most elegant
trains ever travelling over the state.
1t will consist of a standard Pullman
sleeping car, buffet car and com
bination observation and sleeping car
with state rooms for the distinguish
ed guests of the party. The change
of the dates again, by which a half
day is lost is causing those engineer
ing the deal to make an effort to have
Col. Bryan remain over for Satur-
day, September 10, and devote that
to making tour over that portion
of the state which was originally in
the schedule.
The train arrived today and has
been stocked with food to run the
party during the trip. The train will
leave Little Rock at 630 Tuesday
morning and run through to Fort
Smith without stop, where Col. Bry-
an will be picked up at 1880. He
will arrive at that time from st.
Joseph, Mo, where he speaks tonight
All along the route elaborate prepa-
rations have been made for the en-
tertainment of the tourists and the
preparations have been such that the
edict of Governor Donaghey that all
speeches be made from the rear plat
form of the train had to be over
ruled. Clarksville is the first stop
after leaving Fort Smith. A big Gel
ebration is being held there tomor-
row, consisting of an all-day speak
ing and Confederate reunion. Col
Bryan will be the last speaker of the
day and will be met at the depot by
band and escorted to the court
house square, where the speaking will
take place. The Ozark speech that
night will be delivered from the pa
vllion in the court yard.
The first stop Wednesday is at Rog-
ers, where the speechmaking will take
place in the city park, which is near
the station. The Springdale speech
will be delivered from the rear of
the train, but at Fayetteville, where
there is an hour stop, the party will
be taken to the courthouse square for
! speaking. The courthouse lawn at
Van Buren will be the stopping place
in that town, but Alma, Mulberry,
Altus, Coal Hill and Russellville
speeches will be made from the rear
of the train. The making of speeches
at Coal Hill and Russellville depends
upon the running schedule of the
train, and as no stops have been real
ly arranged for, they will not be made
unless the train is running a few
minutes ahead of the schedule. The
Wednesday night speech at Morrilton
will be made on the square adjoining
the railroad.
At Batesville Thursday morning
the speakers will be taken to the
campus of the Arkansas College to
unbottle their oratory. The next
stop is Newport, where the court
house yard will be elaborately deco
rated to receive the guests. Jones'
boro also plans to have its celebration
in the courthouse yard. The night
stop at Brinkley will permit the
speaking to take place anywhere de-
sired by the citizens. The first stop
Friday is at Camden, where speak
ing will take place at the courthouse.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for getting big crowd in Cam
den that day Hope will be the next
stop, after which the trip to Little
Rock will be made in a hurry, with
speeches from the rear of the train
except at Arkadelphia and Benton,
where automobiles will be waiting to
whisk the party to the places arrang-
ed for the speaking.
There will be about 80 in the party
besides the railroad men, who will
make the trip to look after the safe
tv of the party
