Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 December 1904 — JACKSON DAY BANQUET. [ARTICLE]

JACKSON DAY BANQUET.

The Democrat editor acknowledges an invitation to attend the Eighth Annual Jackson Day Banquet at Lafayette, Jan. 10, and will try and “be thar.” This meeting will be of national importance, acceptances having been received from Mr. Bryan. Thos. Taggart. John W. Kern and many others equally prominent in democratic circles. Invitations have also been sent to Mr. Parker, Hearst, Folk, Carter Harrison and others, and no doubt some of them will be present. An effort will probably be made among the local democrats here to get up quite a delegation and attend. Accommodations will be provided in the amphitheatre for 3,000 people. Tickets to banquet will be $1.00; general admission 50 cents. Some of our local democrats attended this annual function two or three years ago, and the good time enjoyed then will make them anxious to attend once more.
