pearance in Arkansas clad in a rain

in a drenching rain, the first encoun-
tered on this trip, as he spoke. Be-
fore reaching Fort Logan H. Root, the
president was photographed with
members of the party.

piled. Il am a secret service man."

tor Clark and a guard of 13 Confeder-
ate and 13 Union soldiers General Dan
Jones commanding the Confederates
and Colonel A. S. Fowler the Union
veterans. Colonel Fowler rode for
ward to the president and said, "The
president shook hands with each
member of the guard. He reviewed
the regular troops and then proceed
ed to this city. Governor Davis ad-
dress of welcome praised the state,
Roosevelt and the nation, and then
launched into a fierce defense Of
lynch law. His remarks were not re-
ceived favorably. One gentleman on
the stand said, I'VE don't stand for
him here
The president headed by an es-
cort and accompanied by a reception
committee reached this city just be-
fore noon. The streets were packed
with people and every housetop was
covered by the curious. The presi-
dent was loudly cheered as he rode
along constantly rising and bowling
thanks to the people. He was driven
to the city park, where an immense
throng had gathered about the speak,
ers stand. Governor Davis welcomed
the president to the state. Other well
coming addresses preceded his own
address.
The president answered Governor
Davis. He said:
YOU spoke of hideous crime COM
mitted by members of the colored
race. No one abnors that crime more
than I do, and any creature guilty OF
if should be ruthlessly hunted and
punished to the extent of the law"
