alive, was in the city Monday. he took
him over the line of march and in
company with Mr.. Magee OF the trans
portation committee, and explained
to him all the plans for the demon
stratlon. The presidents representa-
tive said that he could not improveI
upon the arrangement in any way,
complimenting Mayor Parsons upon
the interest shown by him and the
citizens of Cairo in the coming of the
chief executive. However. he sug
gested that an entrance be built at the
rear of the speakers stand in the
park. so that Il would be easier for
the president and other distinguish
ed guests to take their places on the
stand. He also advised that the line
of march from Eighth to Fourteenth
street on Washington avenue be rop-
ed off from the sidewalk so as to
prevent people crowding too far out.

would carry out Mr.. Sutton's sugges-
tions to the letter.
