NOVEL HORSEBACK
RIDE FOR PRESIDENT
Awaits Shaping of the Itinerary by
Secretary Cortelyou-A Hundred
Mile Jaunt.

An extended journey on horseback,
through a wild section of Western coun-
try, is the novel plan which Senator
Warren of Wyoming has in mind for
President Roosevelt's consideration, in
connection with the latter's September
tour toward that part of the United
States. Mr.. Warren was at the tenn
porary White House yesterday morning
but the President was so busy with con-
ferences on matters pending in Con-
gress that the invitation was kept in
the background for more leisurely
opportunity.
The Senator suggested several months
ago Swing round the circle" on the
order OF President McKinley's trip Of
last spring. but through the northern
tier of States. adjoining the Canadian
border. He wishes Mr.. Roosevelt to
come into Wyoming by one of the great
railroads, and while his special train is
being switched to another part of the
State. cover the intervening country on
horseback
This plan would give the President
jaunt of 100 miles through the pic
turesque Western country with which ne
was intimately acquainted some years
ago. and would introduce a pleasant va
riety into the continuous round OF re-
ceptions and banquets.
Mr.. Warren is awaiting the shaping
of the itinerary by Secretary CorteIyou
and, though present Indications point TO
a tour extending not any farther than
If even that far. he is hopeful
that the uniqueness of the plan will
commend itself to the President and Sc
cure his eventual acceptance.
