in Both Chestnut Street Hall and
the Board of Trade Building


| Colonel Roosevelt in his tour of
Pennsylvania will make two speeches in
Harrisburg on Thursday morning in
stead of one. The demand for seats is
SO great for the Chestnut street auditor
| ium that all could not be accommodated
and the committee of the Progressive
Trade hall for the Colonel 3 second
speech.
| The capacity of Chestnut street hall
has been increased to $500. but a
couple of hundred more can be squeezed
into the big hall. The tickets for the
Chestnut street hall were all distributed
last evening, but there was such de-
mand that it occurred to the committee
! that 1t would be better to have a Sec
ond meeting in progress in order that
all might hear the Colonel. By noon to-
day thousand tickets for uhe Board
of Trade were printed and these will be
given to those who cannot get into the
| Chestnut street hall.
