chief executive would visit the expo
sition drew tremendous crowds. and
to guard him from possible danger
that might menace him, secret service
men, soldiers and police guards
abounded, but they had comparatively
little to do In preserving order. The
sentiment seemed to be unanimous in
the minds of the thousands of specta-
tors that President Roosevelt was the
guest OF each one. and each did his
best to preserve order. Passage ways
were cleared and hindrances quickly
removed that every moment of the
presidents limited time might be oc-
cupied in viewing the exposition.
