Dr. Crumbine, secretary of the state

them to notify the county assessors

they are paid to collect the vital sta

information about the. amount of

The state law authorized county

Kansas Democratic Banquet on
Washington's Birthday.
The annual banquet of the Kansas
Democratic . banquet - - club, which
takes place yearly on the 22nd 'day
of February will be one of the great
est meetings of a political nature held
in this city during this campaign.
Ten thousand invitations have been
sent out to as many prominent Demo
crats and the correspondence and the
interest 1 manifested indicates a tre
mendous attendance. The banquet
will be held at the auditorium and ar
rangements have been made for two
thousand plates, which from present
indications will be Insufficient to ac
commodate the great gathering. The
decoration of the auditorium is in
the hands of C. M. Hill, our well
known paper hanger and decorator,
and the auditorium will present a
magnificent appearance when the
banquet tables are all arranged and
the decorations of the stage, etc., -are
completed.
Wm. J. Bryan will be the prin
cipal speaker and his address neces
sarily at this time will be most in
teresting and will probably outline
his Ideas and plans and principles up
on which will be fought a campaign
that will be one of the most memor
able in the annals of politics. The
nomination of Mr. Bryan for the
Democratic candidate for the presi
dency will probably be by acclama
tion. Wisconsin has elected Bryan
delegates to the Democratic National
convention at Denver and Kansas on
the 21st of this month at Hutchinson,
will be the second state to do likewise.
In recognition of the young demo
cracy of Kansas the following young
men have been selected to make brief
addresses: Thomas H. Coughlln. Ed
gerton, Kan. ; H. C. Tobey, Salina,
Kan., and Henry Swan, Cottonwood
Fall, Kan.
Mr. Bryan will be introduced by
Senator Geo. H. Hodges of Johnson
county. A specially prepared banquet
table will extend from the north to
the south end of the very large stage
or platform of the auditorium facing
the audience. Mr. Bryan occupying
the center and the thirty Democrat!
members of our legislature will oc
cupy seats half of them to the right
and half of them to the left of Mr.
Bryan. The balance of the large stage
will be occupied by many of the la
dies and wives of the members of the
legislature and other leading Demo
crats of the state. This great ban
quet has Inaugurated a new feature
by extending an invitation to ladies
and the attendance promises to be
large. No wine or liquor will . be
served as has been usual in the past.
Special trains will be run from Kan
sas City, also from the south and
west, it being expected at this time
Mr. Bryan will enter Kansas from
Kansas City and will there be joined
by an Immense crowd who will cen
ter in at Kansas City and accompany
him to Topeka, it being arranged that
the railroads leading into Kansas City
from the north and south of eastern
Kansas will connect with his train
coming to Topeka. One of the larg
est crowds coming to the convention
by special train will be the trains
bearing the crowd from the Hutchin
son convention, where the delegates
to the National convention at Denver
will be elected on the 21st of Febru
ary and the convention then adjourn
and repair to Topeka to meet Mr.
Bryan personally. It Is expected that
the auditorium's capacity will be test
ed as it Is likely that Ave or six thou
sand people will attend. Mr. Frank
S. Thomas, the treasurer of the ban
quet club has live clerks at work send
ing out tickets for the banquet to all
parts of the state and taking care of
the correspondence that is necessarily
very large. He desires to announce
that It is very Important to order tick
ets at once so that the caterers may
be assisted In making necessary ar
rangements to handle so large an af
fair. The music will be furnished by
a band of twenty- pieces and the oc
casion will be one of the most enjoy
able and instructive political meetings
held in Kansas. W. K. Ryan, chair
man of the Democratic State Central
committee and W. H. .1. Pepperell,
secretary, in behalf of the State Cen
tral committee are assisting in the
work of making it one of the great
est political gatherings of this cam
paign.
