LABOR DAY PROGRAM
Biggest Day of the Kind Ever
Planned for Wichita.
MAYOR ROSS TO PRESIDE
What the c. [. U. Has Out
lined for the Day.

The program for Labor Day has just
been finished and it is the biggest thing
of the kind ever put up here before
Mayor Ross will preside at the literary
and musical exercises. Governor Stanley,
John Davis 1. P. Campbell and others
will make addresses. Captain Koenehe
will give a military exhibition drill and
the Nighthawks will husk out nine to
down the Central Labor union. There
will be plenty of music by the band, a
crack shot contest, basket picnics and
everything that will in any way add to
the hilarity Of the occasion.
President Brown of the Central Labor
union said yesterday:
| I'VE are going to give the best and
most satisfactory celebration of the day
| that Wichita has ever known. Although
l was aware of the fact that the Cen
trail Labor union was full of enthusiasts,
1 didn't know-I didn't realize, at least
how enthusiastic we were until I ap-
pointed a suggestion committee two weeks
ago to feel the public, as it were. When
that committee made it's report last Sun
day / was surprised. Arrangements had
been made for ball at night and par
TALLY made for exercises at the park dur
ing the day.
Secretary Hathaway said: president
Brown has pressed Commodore Nelson
into the harness for all the cars we need
for our music baseball team, military
company, crack trap shooters and other
attractions. We have the Commercial
band engaged for the day. The soldier
boys will give us a skirmish drill, and
we hope for a number of attractive sports
on that day. There will sure be a ball
game. If the Nighthawks haven't all the
swivels out of their necks they will see
a challenge floating through their feath-
ers one of these odd come shorts-un-
less, forsooth, they flop up and challenge
some other club
sc are not going to bore the merchants
to death begging them for prizes, but we
will have some prize winning sports just
the same. 1t is trife early in the game
to call hand but We'll show the people
of Wichita and all who will accept our
invitation to the park one of the incest
times they ever had. At Mr.. Browns |
I sen Governor Stanley an in
vitation to make the opening address. |
Colonel Sam Amidon, 1. P. Campbell and |
John Davis will also address the people I
on that occasion, and there will be ice |
cream, lemonade, cigars and other pleas |
antries out there.
"AlI political fellows on the speakers |
program! Well, don't let the thought |
that we will allow them to talk politics
get tangled up in your grey matter. The |
first political utterance would place the /
speaker hors du combat. There is vast I.
scope of interesting matter outside of pol
tics which any one of the gentlemen
named can handle with a master hand,
and they will do So Mayor Ross will act
as chairman and those who know him
can rest assured that he will permit
nothing distasteful to those whose plat
form he honors on that day.
"At night we will give a ball in our
hall on North Market. have been made
of the tickets and will place
them on sale some time this week, prob
ably Thursday. The committees appoint
I'd by President Brown are working har-
and with no thought of IA
-igue. We expect to see faces in the
park next labor day that we have never
seen at any of our gatherings before, and
We expect them to be our friends ever
after. We are going to make 1t pleasant
,or everybody.
The exercises proper will not begin I'M
il l p. m probably, but scores of friends
will go out in the morning with well filled
baskets and picnic in the good old fash
oned way until the crowd comes. There
$ plenty of good water out there and
ven have a lot of swings put up for the
aides and little ones. There'n be no
wooden horses nor pipe organs, but then
t won't cost anything"
