That the citizens of Chester mean
to show the folks of Harrisburg that
Senator Sproul is popular in his
home town, is indicated by the an
nouncement of the Chester Times
that at least 500 of them will come
here to see him inaugurated. Says
the Times:
aside from the matter of wheth-
er or not the club will have q special
train or extra cars attached to one
of the Harrisburg trains on the
morning of January 81, to carry
them to the Capital to attend the
Inauguration of Governor-elect Will
liam C. Sproul, practically all ar
rangements were completed last
night at q meeting of the commit
tee of the William c. Sproul Club,
of this city. Those present were: S.
| e. Turner, chairman; Sheriff A. X.
Granger, j. r. Bagshaw, Edward c.
Dunn, Edward McCarey and James
NJ. Hamilton. Former Sheriff S.
Everett Sproul, who is member of
the committee, was detained on
other business
THE committee directed Sheriff
A. r. Granger, chairman of the
music committee, to engage the
military band that has been play
ing for the government at Hog Is
land. This organization of fifty pieces
will be at the head of the club, and
will make a fine showing. The con-
tract for the badges, pennants and
| canes was given to a Philadelphia
concern, they being the lowest bid
ders.
The committee last night had as
surance that this number would be
| increased to at least 500, so that
those citizens who want to honor
their home citizen, Governor elect
| Sproul, should get busy and see that
their names are placed on the list
at once.
The Harrisburg committee will
make u report to the club on We'd
nesday night at which time it is
hoped that all information as to the
train service and the headquarters
will be arranged. A number of the
committee is in Harrisburg to-day
securing headquarters for the Sproul
Club.
THE reports last night at the
meeting indicate that about 100
well-known citizens of this city and
county, friends of Senator Sproul,
will go to Harrisburg the night be-
fore the day of the inauguration.
The arrangements for the train,
however, will be made so that those
going up for the day will be in Har-
risburg in ample time to witness the
entire inaugural ceremonies, and in
plenty of time to take part In the
parade.
1.-THE dress on this occasion will
be black derby hats and black over
coats. There will be no attempt on
the part of the committee to impose
any extra cost on those who desire
to attend the inauguration, so far
| as uniforms are concerned.
THE Home Guard OF this city will
act as escort for the Sproul Club on
the occasion and the members of the
! Chester Rotary Club will be in line
with the club. Many of the best citi-
zens of the city are arranging to
make the trip, SO 1t will be necessary
for those going to make this fact
known to the committee as early as
p 'ssible, so that their comfort can
be looked after"
