HOLY NAME UNION
PLANS BIG PARADE
Catholic Society Expects TO-.
900 in Line for Demon
stration.

The quarterly meeting of the
Washington Holy Name Union last
Monday night at the Immaculate
Conception Hall. was a fine mani
festation of enthusiasm on the
coming Holy Name parade and
demonstration in honor of the
Holy Nams OF Jesus in Washington
on Sunday, October 8. President
Joseph T. Fitzgerald presided. Rev.
Thomas G. Smyth and former Judge
DeLacey were the rlncipal speak
ers. Both addresses won hearty
applause from the 200 delegates
present. representing thirty-five Of
the forty-two parishes in the sec
tion.
All of the reports from officers
and committee chairmen indicated
a smoothness of operation in the
details of the parade which were
very satisfactory to the delegates.
President Fitzgerald's resume Of
the work done by the executive
committee and Chairman Edward
+. McCarthy's report from the
music committee showed careful
handling of all matters SO far
necessary to be taken care of.
Secretary Leo ]. Lanahan Of the
Baltimore section told most inter-
estingly of the work of that Sec
ton, and gave 1t as his opinion
that 5000 men will come from
Baltimore to the Washington par
ade. Even the railroads, Mr.. Lana
han said. were cooperating most
generously in the movement.
Archdiocesan President P. j.
Haltigan made a report of his
work for the past two months.
He had been in personal touch. he
said. with sister Holy Name Unions
in Philadelphia, Wilmington. Rich
mond. Norfolk. and a portion of
Western Maryland. and from all
these centers of Holy Name ac-
tivity he reported most en-
thusiastic spirit of cooperation in
the Washington parade. He said
that he had assurance from Presi-
dent Daily of the Philadelphia
Union, that in that section a move
ment was now under way which
would likely result in having 1000
men from Philadelphia and vicinity.
Tourist clubs, he said. are now or
ganized in some of the philadelphia
parishes. so that a pilgrimage to
Mt. Vernon may come from Phila-
delphia on Saturday, October Z, and
remain over for Sundays demon
stration. The railroads from
Philadelphia to Washington are
assisting in the development of
interest among people of all classes
to come to Washington October Z
and 8.
From all sections of Virginia
will come large numbers of par
aders, and at least 1000 are ex-
pected from the newly-organized
Holy Name Union in Wilmington,
Del, where Bishop Monahan is as
sisting in having his men sub
stantially represented in the dem
onstration. The 1900 Catholic
members of the Marine Corps at
Quantico. Va. will also be invited
to participate. and the many gal
liant Catholic young men wearing
Uncle Sans uniform in other naval
and military stations around WASH
ington will not be overlooked.
From the American Legion It is
also expected to get many par
aders. Legionaires of the Catholic
faith will be invited to appear in
uniform with their respective
