OF the committee in charge of the in
augural ball and has so planned the

through the forty-siX states. into d.
rect and active participation in the
function.
Washington is u national city. a
city belonging to the country" said
Chairman Blair in discussing the ball
arrangements today. 1T is our de-
sire that all who come to the inan-
guration-and there promises to be
the biggest attendance in the history
of these affairs-should feel that in
coming to the national capital they
are coming to their own city.
The bali will be essentially AMI
national. ~ representa-
tive from each state has been or will
be designated as member OF the in
augural ball committee. Many have
already accepted. These gentlemen
will know many of the people who
come from their respective states
and will see that they are properly
introduced TO the statesmen and their
wives and other distinguished vis-
itors. Thus it is hoped to bring the
forty-siN states into close touch with
the National capital on this memoir
able occasion.
'Washinton's part in the inaugur-
alton is to be in no sense local. Ep-
cry state should feel proprietary
interest in this. the nations city. and
take pride in its beauty and dcvel-
opment into tho finest capital in the
world. The states. through the scnu-
tors and representatives whom thc*
send to congress. control Washinton
and have les destiny in hand. 1t is
ruled by congress. so far as II is rul-
ed az all. 1t is well that all visitors
should understand this situation an,l
thus more clearly appreciate tho
dominating national characteristics
of Washlntcn on the occasion which
promises to be so s9lcndidly cello
bratcd."
