cleaned from the following, which
forms a part Of the poster to be sent
broadcast in the state:
The attention of every good citizen
OF Utah is invited to the design of the
parade committee on the forthcoming
presidential reception to make the rider
feature OF the street demonstration on
that occasion one of surpa ssinEIv i'm
preSslve proportions. To the end that
such desirable result may be at
tanned in the number of riders and the
uniformity of their appearance in line
the parade committee makes this an
nOuncement:
The subcommittee on transporta-
tion has secured from our home rail
ways such exceptionally low car lot
rates on saddle horses to be used in
