Papers will be read by various delegates and plans for the coming year will be discussed. In the evening a dinner will be held at the University Club, at which several prominent men will speak.

Arrangements have been made for all who desire to take the midnight express for Washington, where the party will be taken through the House of Representatives. Speaker Cannon will present the delegates to President Taft and Vice-President Sherman. Conferences have been arranged with several of the cabinet officers and one of the Justices of the Supreme Court
