REPUBLICAN DAY AT FOUNTAIN PARK

State Central Committee Has Set Tuesday, Aug. 25th, as Date of Big Republican Love Feast. - The republicans' of Jasper county and adjoining counties are to be given an apportunity to attend a mammoth meeting during the session of the Fountain Park Assembly,and the greatest assembly of party talent ever brought together in Jasper county is to be cm hand to entertain the great crowds that gather on the date agreed upon. *■ Acting in conjunction with County Chairman Leopold some Remington parties have secured the aid of the state central committee in planning a rousing big meeting at Fountain Park for Tuesday, August 26th, and there is every reason c to believe that it will be the banner day of the association this year. ' | Hon. James EL Watson, republican candidate for governor, will head-the-list of speakers, and Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, Senior United States Senator, will also be on hand.' Fremont Goodwine, republican candidate for lieutenant-governor, Quincy A. Myers, candidate for judge of the supreme court, and Congressman Edgar D. Crum packer will complete the array of speaking talent and the woods will be made to ring with the eloquence of the best political speakers of the day. The people of Remington do not intend to let Fountain Park die because it was a Robert Parker institution, but they are going to present a program this summer that will be second to none ever prepared by the former banker, and the special political days are certain to secure immense crowds. Fountain Park has always been a desirable place to spend the entire session and the management this year will make it as agreeable as ever before. But when this great day comes around every republican in Jasper and all surrounding points should arrange to be on hands,for it is not often that people have the opportunity to listen to tuch an array of talent as will be there, ii lc worth going miles to hear either Watson or Beveridge speak, and it will pay all people who make an effort to keep posted on the affairs of the state and the government to get out to Fountain Park on August 25th.
