BRYAN INVITED TO
SPEAK AT AUBURN
Secretary of State Will Prob
ably Be Present During
Home Coming Week

Montgomery, May 12.-(Special )-Offi-
cials at the capitol are much pleased
with the announcement that SECRETARY of
State William j. Bryan will probably
speak at Auburn on June g. during
Home Coming Week" Monday morn
Ing this announcement proved one of the
leading topics of conversation.
1t is probable that large number of
the officials will go to Auburn to hear
Mr.. Bryan speak. About one-half of the
heads of departments and attaches at
the capitol are Auburn men, and while
many of them had planned to attend
the commencement exercises at that in
stltutlon this year, the announcement
that Mr.. Bryan will have a place on the
programme will doubtless prove a double
incentive for them to attend.
1t is understood that Mr. BRYAN will
return to Washington by way of Atlanta
and deliver an address in that city.
