Mr.. n. Clay Evans Calls to Say Good
Bye-Date for a Cane
Presentation.

President Roosevelt has fully decided to
visit number of states this fall, but he
has not fixed any date for his trip. 1t is
quite likely that he viii leave Washington
some time in October and go as far south
as San Antonio Texas, where he and Cen
eral Leonard Wood organized their famous
regiment of Rough Riders. He has def
ntely promised Representative Slayden of
Texas that he will visit San Antonio this
fall. The San Antonio fair is to be held
from October Is to 80 and the San Antonio
people hope the President will be able to
visit their city at that time. The fair will
be held on the grounds where the President
organized his regiment.
The New Mexico people also desire to
have the President extend his itinerary to
that territory. The New Mexico territorial
fair will be held at Albuquerque, beginning
President an invitation today to visit the
fair and he said he would consider the mat
ter.
President Roosevelt desires to go to the
state fair Springfie Id. H.. the last of Sep
tember, and II he can get away from WASH
ington at that time that will probably be
the beginning of an extensive journey.
From Illinois the President W II go through
several western and northwestern states.
He has received a number of invita- tionS to
stop IN Iowa and it is believed he will do
so. The trip will not be political, but the
President will undoubte edly make num-
ber of speeches, which may or may not be
used for political purposes in the congress
s1onal campaign.
Mr.. Cannon Pushing Thompson.
Representative Cannon of Illinois saw the
President today and again urged the nomi-
| nation of John G. Thompson. assistant at
torney general of the Department of Jus
4.
District, to fiji the vacancy made by the
death of Judge Bradley. Mr.. Cannon de-
clares that Mr.. Thompson is much of a
District man some of those who have
been mentioned for the judgeship. He thinks
that Mr. Thompson's residence of over four
years in Washington has given him at
least a partial residence here. Mr. Cannon
is known to most earnestly desire the selec-
ton of Mr.. Thompson as judge. and 1t is
understood that the danger of an outside
man being named lies right here.
Mr.. Thompson is the strongest Of the out
side candidates whose names have been
placed before the President. Representa-
tive Sherman Is said to have declined to
allow the use of his name in connection
with the position.
