President Speaks to the Followers
Of Lee.

President Roosevelts recent tour
through the South was one continuous
ovation from the people Of Dixie. In

Capital, the greeting extended to him
was unusually cordial. After much
parading and speech-making, the Pres
ident was taken for drive through
the residence section. In the center of
this section is the great equestrian
statue of General Robert Il. Lee. At
this point occurred scene Of the Pres.
