Major, over- hanging the Speaker’s stand, and labove it ona ved, white and blue ban- | ner were the words “Our Governor’’ in gold letters. The walls of the House were covered almost entirely with drapings of Virginia smilax and huge silk flags. Streamers of smilax were threaded from the center cluster of electric lights to the sides and corners of the walls. Silver gray mosses were the basis of the decorative scheme in the Executive Mansion. In the balcony, over the Speaker’s stand, an orchestra of twenty-one pieces from Kansas City played until Gov. Major's arrival. The first State officers to arrive were the Supreme Judges and Supreme Court Commis- sioners, led by Chief Justice Lamm. They were seated on the front row at the right of the Speaker’s stand. Then came the Senate, led by Lieut. Gov. Gmelich and President Pro Tem Wilson. Special reservations also had been made for them. Huge bouquets of American beauty roses and floral wreaths from admir- ing friends were used in the decora- tions of the Speaker’s stand. Clark is Boomed For 1916 Washington, D.C.
