V " - - MM DETAILS ALREfD/ PLANNED FOR INALGJRAL Platform Will Be In Same Position aa That for the Tener Ceremonies— Little Actual Work Will Be Left for Committee of Legislature To-day Preliminary preparations for the inauguration of Martin G. Brumbaugh as Governor on January 21 are being looked after by those interested on Capitol Hill, and when the Inaugural Committee is appointed by the Senate and House on January 5 it is likely that the committee will have little to do outsido of sending out invitations to distinguished persons to be present, arranging the pa»9de and the order of exercises, and looking after the com fort of the incoming Governor. -- Superintendent Rambo to-day got out his plan of the platform on which the inaugural exercises will talce place. It is the same plan on which the Tener inaugural platform was constructed. The platform will be at the entrance to the capitol, extending out over the plaza, and will have seats for the new officials, state officials, members and of ficers of the Senate and House and the ladies of the official party. Press seats will be provided as heretofore at the front on either sjde of the stand whore the oath of office is administered and tho inaugural exercises take place. When the Legislature meets on Jan uary 5 the Senate and House, aifter or ganizing, will pass a resolution provid ! ing for the creation of an inaugural committee. It is always customary to put the I>auphin Senator,-—in this case Senator Beidleman,—on the committee and include the members of the House from Dauphin. One of the first duties of the House will be to pass first a bill providing for the payment of the inaugural expenses. The Legislature of 1911 appropriat&d $15,000 to pay the expenses of the inauguration. In the Senate, directly after the inauguration of Governor Brumbaugh, the oath of office wil be administered to Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Mc- Clain, and then both legislative bodies will be ready for the work of the ses sion. It is thought that both the civic and military parade will be the finest inau gural parade ever seen here. The de tails will be worked out by the inau gural committee.
