of harness or other adornment Mr..
Stevenson is favorite with the Demo-
cratic masses and his reception along
the line of march was hardly less en-
thusiastic than that accorded the
President himself.
The President and Vice-President
went direct to the reviewing stand in
front of the White House and there re-
viewed the legions of military and
civic bodies in the parade. All Marsh
alls and Commanders had been directed
to salute the President with drawn
swords or batons or by nncovering, and

served regulation salutes. But there
was no directing or regulating the
salutes given by the unterrifed Democ-
