LOGANSPORT, Ind, Sept. S-When
President Roosevelt awoke on Indiana soil
this morning and looked out of the car
window the prospect was not pleasing. Rain
was falling, making the weather conditions
gloomy, indeed. There was no intimation
to the public that the President was suf-
fering, and there was nothing in his APP
pearance that indicated he was soon to
be operated on, and that at nightfall he
would be carried to his car on a stretcher.
If it had been known the President was in
pain there would have been no attempt by
the people to shake his hand, and thus
probably add to his suffering.
Despite the gloomy weather the recep-
ton accorded the President here was en-
thusiastic. A drizZlng rain fell most of the
time during the fifty-five minutes the presi-
Dental party was in the city, but the chief
executive was not daunted, for he ad-
dressed nearly three thousand people from
stand erected on the corner of the High
School property. During the course Of his
address the rain subsidized partly and the
President requested that the umbrella
which was being held over him be removed,
at the same time saying to those in the
crowd who held up umbrellas, I'm willing
to have mine down if you are willing to do
| the same" His hint was received with an
enthusiastic cheer and in an instant not
| an umbrella was in sight
The Presidents train of six Pullmans ar
| rived promptly on schedule time from De-
| troit, on the Wabash Railroad, at 7:45
| o'clock this morning. Here the train was
transferred to the Pennsylvania lines In
the meantime the President and party were
received at the station by the veterans of
the civil war and a committee of citizens
| and escorted to the High School building,
| where the speech was made in the open
air. Several thousand school children, the
| local Woman's Relief Corps and Ladies of
| the G. A r. were stationed at convenient
points along the route and the President
| was given continuous ovation. 1t is esti-
| mated that fully five thousand people
turned out in the rain to participate in
| the demonstration.
The party was driven to the High School
| at brisk trot, the Spanish war veterans
| and G. A. r. marchers hustling to keep up.
Mayor Vaughan introduced the President,
and the speaker was interrupted frequently
| by cheers. The Presidents speech which
| dealt on tariff revision. took longer to de-
.
and it was $40 instead of Sis when the
| train pulled out.
| President Roosevelt was introduced by
| Mayor Sidney A. Vaughan, and began his
remarks by thanking the people for COM
| ing out to hear him on such a bad day,
| and especially the members of the Grand
| Army. Touching on tariff revision, he said
| that no nation can stand radical readjust-
4
| Continual sweeping changes cannot but be
] disastrous, but where the industrial needs
| shift as rapidly as they do here, where
We often live in one year what Europe
| does in ten. we need the reapplication of
| established principles to changed condi-
| tons. We must readjust without resorting
| to a violent surgical operation, the dread
| of which alone would paralyze the business
| of the country. We must solve this prob
| lem with partisanship as a secondary con-
| sideration. He said his own personal pref
| erence would be for tariff commission
Upon the platform were seated 15O per-
sons, and the President shook hands with
| a few of these before leaving. Others tried
| to reach his hand as he climbed into his
| carriage. He overlooked the outstretched
| hands and stood in the carriage raising his
| hat and bowling. The crowd seemed to re-
| sent this, for when Mr.. Roosevelt was here
| during the last campaign he shook hands
| with every one who could get near enough
Four of the local police force, mounted on
| spirited horses, were detailed to guard the
| Presidents carriage, and they had about
| all they could do to keep within range.
| Secret-service men accompanying the Pres
| ident were in carriage next to the Pres
| ident's and kept a watchful eye on the
| crowd. The line of march carried the
| President and party through the principal
| streets and residence portions.
| The presidential party was Joined here
| by Senator Beveridge and Congressman
| C. B. Lands. The reception committee
| consisted of the following well-known citi-
| zens of Logansport Mayor Sidney A
! Vaughan, D. B. Mcconnell, j. c. Nelson,
