Gus ovation marked the passage Of

states OF Indiana and Ohio. Defying the
wind and rain Of a most disagreeable
October day. the citizens Of these states
congregated in great numbers at every
station along the line and never were
they disappointed. for the president ap-
peared at every ooint to speak few
words to his constituents.
Perhaps the most imposing demon
stration OF the day was az indianapolis,
where the streets through which the
president was driven 70 the state house
were jammed with cheering people.
Here. on the steps Of the state capitol,
the president delivered one Of the most
