Will Speak Often.
The trip will be by long odds the most
important ever undertaken by President
Roosevelt, and may be more far-reaching
IN political consequences than any ever
made by President During long stretch
OF nearly three weeks President Roosevelt
VIII visit dozens of cities and towns and
make dozens of speeches. With the excen-
ton Of three or four talks to Spanish Amer
lcan war veterans at Detroit and Indian
apolls, the Presidents speeches are likely
10 be more or less of a character affec+inr
the poltlcs of the future. To his comrades

on subjects near to the hearts Of soldiers
one great object of his western trim is In
assist in the strong effort now being na6e

VIII take flying run TO do it but both or
sanlZauonS want the honor of a visit from
such distinguished comrade. and the
PRESIDENT is not going to show apv fa,.or
lAbSlh- with the Of
lie" other gatherings the President will
naturally be compelled to discuss snbiec,,
OF Oh political nature, and what he saws
Ing on political affairs wal
On Political Subjects.
On the Tariff. on the trusts and on Cuban
reciprocity the President is likely to talk.
oh the trusts he will certainly make a
number of speeches. On reciprocity he will
pe IN the sugar country; that is. among
the beet sugar producers. He will confront
practicallF all the sentiment that was hos
tie to reciprocity at the recent session Ar
the same time he will be in a section of the
United states notably friendly Ia him IN
poltlcal feeling. In that section is more
genuine admiration for him as a man than
Al any otnef. Although possessing tact and
conservatism the President is aiwavs ag-
Sressive and fearless, and the oufIook 1s
strong that the reciprocity ouesfion u,iII
pe revived by the President while he is
away. e IL
The Tariff.
With the President during a greater mart
Of his trip will be Secretary Shaw. who will
make number of speeches from the same
sTa;:: Z: various town. Mr. Shaw has taken
a most cautious position as to revising the
tariff He advocates slow progress in this
direction. Whatever the President saws m
this line must naturally be the republican
platform IN the congressional elections
throughout the northwest especially in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan re-
publican members of Congress are com
mitted to working in the next Congress for
tariff revision. 20" ioi
Ihe position is a most delicate one The
subject of tariff commission composed
OF the friends of protective tariff, that
would work long and earnestly upon the
subject of what schedules should be revised
before submitting general plan of revision
to Congress. is being advanced and no
surprise would be occasioned to see that
put forward as leading suggestion The
President has so far not talked extensively
on this subject of the tariff and is COM
mited to nothing more definite than reel
procity with foreign countries and wha.-
ever tariff changes are regarded b. rer7i,b-
ltcans as wise.
