SPEAKERS’ BUREAU OPENS.

Bryan Accepts Invitation to Visit Indiana in October. The speakers’ bureau has been opened at Democratic State Headquarters, with Bert Hendren, of Linton, in charge. With the inauguration of this work, every department of campaign activity is now in full blast. The speaking campaign among the Democrats will open between September 15 and 20. It has not been decided when or where, or who will fire the first gun. There will be no lack of oratorical material, however, and the people of Indiana are assured that the issues will be presented from the Democratic standpoint in an able and thorough manner. Notable in the list of speakers already assured is William Jennings Bryan, who has accepted an invitation to speak in Indiana. His acceptance was received by Chairman Jackson and Mr. Hendren who had a long talk with him at Rushville. Mr. Bryan has promised to give three days of his time to the Indiana campaign and is endeavoring to make it a week instead. He will speak during October, the dates, of course, not having been set. These will be determined when Mr. Bryan decides whether he can spend a week here.
