The INAUGURATION
stage Being Set
Frankfort Arranging Details
For Notable Event
Next Tuesday.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 3-Frankfort
/. and Franklin county, probably the
most stalwart in their Democracy in
tho state. judging by the last two
state elections. as usual have laid
aside partisanship in anticipation of
1.-THE Inauguration December 3.
Democrats and Republicans, with
out distinction, are working on plans
TO entertain the visitors and arrange
ments and details. The crowd from
out of town for the most part will be
Republicans. but to Frankfort it is a
new Governor and n new local com
mittee in charge. and that committee
has only one idea and that is to show
some former communities that they
overlooked several things to make
the event notable.
II is evident this early that the in
auguration will excel in the one i'm
portant feature dear TO the heart of
capital city residents-brass bands.
There are going to be more bands
than ever before. Frankfort people
know from experience that they
can't have too many bands in a pa
rade, and numerous marching organi-
cations have reported they are COM
ing with their own music
One reason for this is that the
campaign on the Republican side was
remarkably well organized. Morrow
clubs sprang up all over the State.
and the members. enthusiastic over
the victory. are coming as clubs. This
has an old-time flavor, and to give 1t
still more reminiscent cast, many
OF the clubs are adopting some dis
tinctive insignia. They will carry
canes or odd hats or parasols and
banners and introduce novelties to
attract attention. The Louisville del
egation will bring an elephant.
The absence of State militia is
compensated for by detachment of
infantry and artillery from the first
Division. the commanding General
regimental commanders and massed
colors of the eight regiments, the
University of Kentucky cadets, and
the American Legion in uniforms.
This contingent will add two bands
to the array. regimental band and
the cadet band.
The parade. of course. Is the big
daytime feature, as the ball is the
event at night, and Mai. Jackson Nor
ris, grand marshal, is anxious to get
in immediate touch with every organ
ization coming. so that he can have
mis- parade lineup complete in advance
to prevent bitches that morning. The !
parade will form near the railroad !
station, march south ON Ann street !
to Main street, west on Main street to |
Washington street, south on Wash !
ington street to Mapping street, east |
on Mapping street to st. Clair street !
over the bridge and up Capitol ave-
nue. to the front entrance OF the Capt.
toll. There on the first terrace of the !
Capitol steps the stand will be erect
ed and from that. facing Capiol ave-
nue., Gov-elect Morrow will deliver
his inaugural address.
Ball in Capitol.
The ball will be held in the Capitol.
That is where Gov. Stanley's inaugu-
raj ball was held and the occasion
was so delightful and the scene so
beautiful that the committee in
charge was of one mind on the sub
ject. 1t is probable, though, that the
reception line will not stand in the
state reception room. The State Of
ficers-elect with their wives receive
during the evening of the ball, but
the thousands intent on greeting {
members of the new administration
four years ago jammed the corridor
in front of the one door leading into n
the room for hours before they could
percolate through, pass down the line
in single file and wriggle through an
other series OF doors, leading via
storeroom into the executive offices
and thence back TO the corridor.
II may be the line will stand in
the rotunda by the Lincoln statue. AT
III events, profiting by experience, the
Inc will be stationed where the crowd a
can conveniently reach Il and as con
yenient!y melt away,
