welcome to President Roosevelt Tues

The local committee, headed by Hon.
Logan G. Murray, considered carefully
the matter of giving the president a
befitting reception, but decided that
owing to the short time the executive
will be in the city that it were better
to make his short stay not only a
typical Kentucky welcome, but re-
ception representative of both north
and south in state bordering. as it
does both sections of the country. The
military feature therefore has been
eliminated and beyond the one camp
of Confederate veterans, the two posts
of Grand Army men, the Spanish War
Veterans association, and representa-
tives of the Loyal Legion. the process
sion which will escort the president
during his three hours stay in the
city will be composed of representa-
tive citizens of Louisville, men of the
north and Of the south, and in few
invited guests from the state at large
The route from the point OF arrival
is IN Third street to Broadway, thence
to Fourth, where 200 pupils of the
boys and girls high schools will well
come the president with song and
after the Grand Army posts a camp OF
Confederate Veterans and the Span
ish War Veterans fall in line, the
procession will continue through the
retail business district to the court
