Agitation 10 Favor Of Changing the
Present Date,
MARCH Is TOO INCLEMENT.
National Committee Resolves for the
Last Thursday in April aud Adyo-
Gates No Particular Measure.

Washington, April S.-The agitation
in favor of changing the date OF In
auguration Of the president from the
4th OF March to the latter part Of
April, received an impetus at the meet
ing of the national committee having
the proposition under consideration.
The change has been advocated mainly
owing to the inclemency Of the weather
Of early March.
Most Of the governors OF the states
and territories accepted service on the
committee and the letters received
from them generally showed a desire
for change in the inauguration date.
1t was agreed that the chairman
should appoint an executive commit
tee and such other committees as might
lie necessary. 1t was resolved as the
sense of the committee that the date
of the inauguration day should be
changed from the 4th Of March TO
the last Thursday of April. but that
no particular bill or resolution should
be advocated. Incidentally, the ques-
ton OF the extension of the term OF
Congress was considered, and II was
agreed that this committee had Moth
Ing to do with the question of when
Congress should adjourn The propo-
sition to fix the 30th day of April was
considered, but received no support,
because 1t was felt that II was better
to name a day of the week, rather
than a day Of the month; a day that
you'd come always In the middle OF
the week, so as to avoid Sunday. The
committee was unanimously In favor
of the last Thursday of April.
