Notes
Many visitors from Tomahawk,
Rhinelander, Merrill, Amigo, Stevens
Point, Grand Rapids, Marshf1eld, and
many villages and towns in this coun-
ty, were in Wausau on Loyalty day, to
see the big demonstration and some
even taking part in the huge parade
and seemed to greatly enjoy them
selves as well as the people of this
city. Nothing like it ever took place
in the hub of Wisconsin. 1t was the
browning success in every way and
not an accident occurred to mar the
event.
Loyalty Day in Wausau exceeded the
most Sanguine expectations and it
seemed as if every man, woman and
child were out, to swell the ranks
and to witness the lines of march. The
out-pouring was something astounding
in this locality of the state, making it
the success of all successes here.
There must have been many hun
dreds of visitors in Wausau on Loyal
ty day, counting the number of in
habitants and visitors in the city and
in the line of march. One highly in
terested visitor thought the central
part of the state had broken loose
and congregated here.
To Hugo Mumm credit is due for the
artistic manner in which many of our
public buildings, business houses and
so on were decorated for this event in
Wausaus history. He certainly is an
artist in this line of work. did his
work well as on similar occasions and is
deserving of commentator.
All public buildings, banks, stores,
factories, mills, shops, Offices and sa-
looms were closed on Thursday from
one to six p NJ, in order to enable
those who desired to take part in the
Loyalty parade, and the employees re-
joiced heartily in being permitted that
privilege.
The speeches delivered on Patriotic
Day, were OF a very high order, and
should be published in full, in PAM
phlet form, and placed in every home
in Marathon county. They should be
given to the public in their entirety
and not garbled extracts.
"Old Glory was in evidence every
where in countless thousands, in and
on business houses, at the homes, and
l in oil xr~ cd he
emblem of his country. And then
there were lots to spare for the Wis
itors.
1t is estimated and beyond dispute
, too, that there were at least 10000
/ people on the streets and walks in
/ Wausau during the parade Thursday
and all seemed to be an earnest anC
, patriotic class of people.
| Wausau does things in no half,
: hearted manner. When the spirit
moves it every person takes hold anG
boosts to the end hence it's success
in every legitimate and worthy cause
and enterprise.
The court house and pavilion were
very appropriately decorated, the for.
mer from basement to tower, in the ma
tional colors and presented an inspir-
ing appearance, Hugo Mumm being the
! decorator.
A little drummer boy, 9?years old
played a snare drum at the head oil
the Johnson Electric Shops aggrega-
ton and kept perfect time for several
blocks of the paraders. He was all
right.
Three large automobiles, loaned by
some of the city's representative bust
ness men, conveyed the members OF
the G. A. r. Post, which thoughtful
act was duly appreciated by the "Old
Vets"
S. Karas and his 81 calibre cannon
with cannoneers, drawn by an auto
truck, an indication of Wausau's par
tial preparedness in case of invasion
by foreign foe, was a feature of the
parade.
Among the floats in line were the
Game and Gun club, Marathon Motor
Kiefer Produce Co., Healy-Brown Co.,
and others whom the reporter failed to
note.
The deficiency in band music was
the only omission; only two being in
line. Others not being Immediately
available. However, the two bands
furnished fine music.
Rain commenced to fall at 4:30
o'clock and the out door meeting on
the county square had to be concluded
in the court room of the court house.
w. A. LaCerte took pictures of the
parade from the Hotel Bells balcony.
