Losansport, Ind. Sept. 2.-President
Roosevelt while here to-day spoke for n
commission to revise the tariff. so that IL
shall be placed as far as possible beyond
the pale OF politics.
The stop was only brief and the speech
had to be made In the rain.
Upon the platform were seated $50 per-
sons and the President shook hands with a
few Of these before departing.
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 resent this. for
when 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.
were detailed to guard the Presidents car
rage and they had about all they could %
to keep within range. In the course Of
his speech. after referring to the need for
safe commerce the President said:
