Plan Changed This Year
Heretofore the inaugural platform
has been placed on the capitol plaza
leading to the main entrance of the
building, and reviewing stand placed
in front of the Executive Mansion on
Front street, on the side next the river,
but this will not be done this year as
platform in front of the main entrance
is not considered large enough to ac-
commodate all who will be present.
The platform to be erected over the
steps at Third street will be made to
accommodate 800 persons.
After Governor Brumbaugh has made
his address he and the retiring Cover
nor will take seats in a carriage that
will be Ready for them in the process
sion, and 60 over the route of parade,
returning to review the procession.
The procession will consist of the
military, civic clubs and firemen. 1t
will be the duty of the committee to
say how many of the military organ
izations of the National Guard shall
be present. As at present planned it
is intended to form a provisional regi-
ment of twelve companies, all from
Harrisburg and vicinity, in order to
make the expense of transportation as
light as possible. The two Harrisburg
infantry companies will be selected
and ten Others from nearby points,
while the Governors Troop of cavalry
will act as the escort to the Governor,
it has done for the past twenty years.
Thus far the only political clubs
that have siemified their intention to
be present are two from PHILADELPHIA,
one representing the Wares from South
Philadelphia, and the other represent.
ing Penrose and McNichol from North
Philadelphia. Harrisburg will have the
Harrisburg and West End Republican
clubs in line, and it is possible that
Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Scranton and
other cities will be represented bv
political clubs.
Harrisburg Firemen to March
The State police will be in line, if
1t is possible to get them here, but at
least some will be here to assist the
local authorities in policing the city,
and they may go in the procession.
The Harrisburg fremen will turn ont
in their best style with the new ap-
paratus.
The Scotland School Soldiers Or
phans' may not be in line, the expert
ences of the last inauguration, when
some of the little fellows suffered Sc
verely from the bitter cold. having
made it doubtful as to whether il is
good policy again to give the soldier
lads place in the procession.
The committee is going to have
some trouble arranging the civic line.
as 1t is said that both of the Philadel-
phla clubs want to lead, the Ware club
claiming the head and the McNichol
Penrose forces also desiring to march
hrst That will be a matter for the
committee to settle.

the head of the parade. General Dough
