LEGAL RESTRICTIONS
ON POLITICAL PARADE
Uniforms, Torches and Equipment
Banned for Night Pro-
ccssions.

As some Of tho local political organiza-
tions are said 10 be contemplating parades
it is probably pertinent TO call attention
to the legal restrictions thereon. There
was time when campaign clubs provided
themselves with uniforms, torches, battle
axes, &c, and pnradod at will through
tho city streets. II was found, however,
that such demonstrations led To disorder,
the climax coming some years ago, when
there was riot at Ninth and Walnut
streets, during parade, with serious con-
sequences. That is why the Legislature
on April 8, 1881, passed the following law,
which has never been repealed:
ut shall not be lawful for any political
clubs, organizations, associations, OF
asscmblagcs q5 men with uniforms,
torches or equipments TO form process
sions and parades or march on any public
road or street in this state, in the night
time, and any and all persons offending
against the provisions Of this section shall
he guilty Of nisdemcanor, and upon
CONVICTION thereof shall be fined not more
than twenty and not less than five dollars
for each offence and shall pay the costs
of prosecution"
