Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 October 1907 — BRYAN AT LAFAYETTE. NOV. 18. [ARTICLE]
BRYAN AT LAFAYETTE. NOV. 18.
The Jackson Club of Lafayette Will Hold Its 12th Annual Banquet on the Above Date. The reason for holding the celebration on this early date is because the club has been able' to secure the Hon W. J. Bryan to deliver the principal address. This address, it is expected, will deal with the great questions confronting the people in the comingcampaign. In addition to Mr. Bryan ! there will be many Indiana Democrats on the program. Banquet will be held in the Coliseum, and we will be able to seat 700 people at table. We expect to be seated at 5:30 p. m. This will enable us to complete the program by li p. m. We can seal 2,500 people outside of the banquet tables. These will be admitted at 6:30 p. m Banquet tickets SI.OO each, with coupon attached showing No. of table and seat. Immediate requests will insure seats at the Banquet table. Tickets will be issued as per date of receiving requisitions. All tickets can be easily sold in our own County, but there will be none offered here before Nov. Ist, as we will take care of every Democrat who desires to come from a distance. It would be well for each County to arrange to come in one group and order tickets through one person. This will enable them to have seats together at the table. Every Democratic Editor is urged to be present; also every Democratic County Chairman. Mr. Bryan desires a conference with those Democrats, and has arranged to come a day early in order to meet with them. This meeting will be held in the Parlors of the Jackson Club, at 1:30 p m , on the day of the banquet. It is the desire of club that every Editor and County Chairman will avail themselves of ths opportunity to meet Mr. Bryan. We believe a conference of this kind at this time will bring about a unanimity of purpose on the part of Indiana Democrats that will be irresistible in 1908. There will be no individual invitations issued, but every Democrat is invited and will be welcomed. As Mr. Bryan's address will be the keynotes of the coming campaign, the Club feels greatly honored in having it delivered under its auspices and insists on every Democrat coming and sharing in the honors. Congressman J. T. Heflin of Lafayette, Ala., and Congressman Ollie James, of Marion, Ky. Also Democratic State Central Committee, and a number of the members of the National Democratic Committtee will be present. Address all communications to James K. Risk, Chm. Oom. on Arrangements.
