All ARRANGEMENTS have been made to
pull of the big show according to pro-
gram, and it is safe TO say that Demo-
cratic enthusiasm will be Spresent in
large chunks. But there has been great.
opposition to holding the banquet and
much of this opposition has come from
the Democratic members OF congress
from Indiana, They were opposed to

except Congressman Boehne, of the
First district. has said he would attend
The rest a + them took the position that

this time was more important than it
would be at the. banquet. They said
| they did not think 1t was right to hold
the banquet without their being pres

TO the whole plan. But the plans have
gone forward. under the direction of

in behalf of the Hearst campaign and
who has been here ever since. He is
the man that brought out the For
President, Thomas r. MARSHALL buttons
a few weeks ago and said that barrels
of them were ready for distribution

be interesting time at the banquet, be-
cause it is practically certain that the

i 1t is the expectation of the managers
of the banquet that fully 900 Demo-
Gratis from over the state will attend.
Already they have received more than
i that number of acceptances, but they
expect thousand to come across with

least.
Governor Marshall will give lunch
