vantage ON the sidewalks and streets
of The business section. Along tn line
of march, from its beginning until It
ended AT the wigwam, the applause
was continuous and hearty. Many
business men showed their interest by
burning pounds OF red fire while the
procession passed. and the section of
Main street from South Temple to
Third South street, was as bright as
day.
Nearly every seat in The wigwam was
