AS a concession to the popular trend
Of sentiment the executive committee
having in charge the inaugural cere-
monies decided to eliminate the serv-
ing of champagne or other intoxicants
at any place designated for the in
auguration festivities, be it at the cap
irol, where Governor-elect Mcdonald
will take the oath of office at high
noon at Monday; or at the Palace of
the Governors where the reception
will take place; or at the National
Guard Armory where tie inaugural
ball takes place. This is setting aside
all previous precedents and in itself
is noteworthy feature of the first
state inaugural.
Committee Badges Ready.
Chairmen of the subcommittee
are asked to call on Committeeman
Charles NJ. Stauffer on Saturday at
the New Mexican business Office for
the allotment of badges for their
committee. The badges are striking
souvenirs of the occasion.
Tickets for Inaugural Exercises.
Tickets to the ceremonies in the
hall of the House of Representatives
al noon, may be obtained from Land
Commissioner R. P. Ervien on Satur-
day, and no one who has not a ticket
will be admitted. The doors Will be
open in plenty of time before the
hour when Governor Mcdonald will
| be sworn in. and when the ceremon-
| les start, the doors will be closed.
| No Admission Card Needed to Recep-
ton.
The citizens of Santa Fe are ex-
pected to take full advantage of the
| reception from to 10 in the evening
IN the Palace of Governors. This will
| be the only function of the entire
| inauguration which does not require
an admission card. 1t is hoped that
