Speak Here Some Time Monday
Morning After Early
Talk In Fl. Madison.

A meeting of the committee of the
bull moose party in Keokuk, was held
last night in the store Of Sam G.
Westcott. chairman of the Progressive
club. The meeting was for the pur-
pose of arranging the entertainment
Of Governor Johnson. OF California,
and the political running mate CT Col
onel Roosevelt, who will speak In
Keokuk next Monday None OF the
details Of the program have been ar
ranged and will not be until word is
received from Governor Johnson's par
".
Governor Johnson is to make an
early morning speech at Fort Madi-
son, Monday morning and Is to arrive
In Keokuk at $3.50, over the Burling-
ton road. He will be met here by
committee Of the local club, who will
have charge Of the entertainment Of

telephone communication with G. b.
Hampton, Of Burlington. who is the
district chairman Of the progressive
party. He is to accompany the gov
ernor's special from Burlington to
Keokuk and will introduce the visitor
to the local chairman. Mr.. Westcott
has been requested to accompany Gov
ernor Johnson to Quincy and present
him in that city.
It is thought that the arrangements
for the speech will be about the same
as were arranged for Colonel Roose-
welt last week The stand will prob.
ably be erected at the corner of Third
and Main streets. 1t is not yet known
at what time the governor will speak

wishes In the matter of entertain
ment at once
1t was said today that Governo
Johnson may be brought from Fl
