ordered out for parade before.

happen such AS marred the suffrage

before President Wilson'S inauguration"
he said.

bands, more enthusiasm than any suf-
frage parade ever boasted. II the signed
pledges TO walk are to be believed, the
marching numbers will overtop any
thing ever brought out. At least $4,000
persons 10000 men and $4,000 women,
are expected to be in line to-day. II the
