Nearly every building in town is gayly
decorated with flags and bunting and
Pythian EN- blems. No building has been
considered too Insignificant for decora-
ton, and the one-slory shanty vies with
the great office building for share a of pub
lie observation. Even the Union station,
hideous of architecture and An eyesore TO
the whole west. has been made almost
presentable to the thousands of visitors.
Great arches, beautifully draped with the
Pythian colors, span at intervals the
streets along the proposed line of march.
Arches, IIIuIninations, Etc.
At the intersec tion of the cross streets
on Main street downtown illuminating
arches have been erected, from which will
shine vari-colored lights, while at the cor
ners of the streets stand great gas trees,
each branch bearing hundreds of jets. At
the junction, a sort of plaza in the bust
ness part of the city, where three promi-
nent streets meet, great pole has been
erected, draped with the Pythian colors
after the style OF May pole. while huge
streamers of blue, yellow, and red bunting
stretch from its top to the tops of neigh

We can unite on conservative plat

This union can be effected BY the

In closing let me assert what to me il
fact, that the Peoples Party can lcse
nothing by demanding the utter prohi-
bition Of the liquor traffic, but instead
can ally itself with the sentiment which
is as strong and over as large class OF
citizens as that against monopoly in ell
its forms.
The Prohibition Party can lose but
little by endorsing the overthrow Of
that system which within the last Is
years has concentrated the wealth OF

was in the Roman Empire, aud it can
