CHANGE MANY PLANS.
This will necessitate a general rearrange
ment OF plans for the marchers through
the state. many of whom have been
counting on Friday as a free night 10
rest up and prepare for the long march
which was In store for them on Saturday.
The bands, too. will have TO be seen and
some of them have planned to do other
things Friday night so that as may be
imagined the Republican club head
quarters was a busy place when the an
nouncement was made.
The chief marshars headquarters for
that night will be at the west side OF the
Chamber OF Commerce building. and the
various divisions will form on South
Water. Canal, Dyer. South Main. Ex-
change place and the various side streets
OF the vicinity. and take UP their positions
as the line proceeds.
Eight o'clock is the hour that was set
for the start for this occasion. slightly
later than the hour set for Saturday night

are shut down and thousands OF work
ing people would be free 10 come TO Prov
idence from all over the state and see the
parade. II IL was 10 start at $50 IL would
probably be over at + m. and then the
marchers and their families who would
have done no purchasing In the afternoon
could do their shopping and return home
late In the evening.
The store keepers would then derive a
great amount or benefit from the influx Of
visitors whereas now they will get no
benefit as Friday Is an early closing day,
particularly In the dry goods district
The change IN the day of the parade
will undoubtedly make some difference 10
