With William Jennings Bryan as
the star attraction, announcement is
made today Of a tentative program
for the Rock Island chautauqua which
is to be held July "a to 20. Just where
the assembly will be held has not
been determined. The city has offered
Long View park, but the site has not
been definitely decided.
There is no orator before the Amer
lean public today who commands the
respect that is always accorded Mr..
Bryan. Not only because he has been
a presidential candidate of his party
several times and has served as sec
retarv of state under President Wood
row Wilson, is he in the public eye,
but primarily because he is a remark
able speaker, gifted with the ability
to paint wonderful word pictures that
are models Of pure English. He sways
people, regardless OF political views,
with his matChless eloQuence, and the
opportunity Of hearing. him IN Rock
Island again, especially in view OF his
peace ideas, will be greatly apprecl-
ated. Mr.. Bryan recently aroused
great enthusiasm in his address in
Moline before the After-Dinner club.
Other excellent speakers and mu-
steal talent of high order have been
secured. Special interest will center
in the coming of State Senator Helen
Ring Robinson of Colorado. Rev.
George W. Wise will be platform man
ager.
Rock Island is affiliated with the
Cooperative Chautauqua association,
which will put on a number OF assem-
bly, gatherings throughout this sec
ton of the state this year.
