Jefferson Day Banquet.

Indianapolis, Ind;, March 19. William J. Bryan will be the headliner at the j, Jefferson Day banquet to be given under the auspices of the Indiana Democratic Club Friday, April 12. Mr. Bryan has written the committee in charge that he will be present, amd when passing through Indianapolis last Friday, he gave further assurance. Senator John W. Kern will be the toastmaster. Addresses will be made by Congressman Korbly, Senator Shivley, (governor Marshall and the Democratic candidate for governor, who will be nominated at the state convention. Perhaps another speech will be made, but the main address of the evening will be ( made by Mr. Bryan, who has promised to hand it out straight in. a real, old fashioned Democratic speech. >

The tickets, will be $2.50 apiece and the banquet will be held at the beautiful new Hume-Mansur roof garden. The number of -tickets wilT-be limited to 1,000 and as the tickets will all be numbered, none will be sold over that amount. “We are going to take care of every man we sell a ticket to,” said Robert E. Springsteen; chairman of the banquet committee, yesterday. “That means we are not going to sell more than we can take care of and we find that 1,000 can be Well served and well taken care of at the Hume-Mansur garden.” Tickets are not to be .sent out on approval, according to Mr. Springsteen. Any one desiring tickets is to send the money direct to Paul G. Davis, treasurer of the banquet committee, 1012 . HumeMansur building. He is to have complete charge of the ticket jsale. A booth for the sale will be placed

in the Denison hotel during the State Democratic convention, also. It is absolutely essential that tickets be ordered in advance of the banquet, however. All indications point to the most successful banquet that has been held •in recent years. The ( signs of Democratic victory and the co-op-eration of various Democratic clubs in the city and state, with the cooperation of the state and local Democratic organization are all boosting the affair so that it is booming along much of its own accord. And the added attraction ot Mr. Bryan has caused an interest that has not been equaled in years.
