Welcome to Roosevelt.
CBy the Associated Press. }

Greensboro. n. c., Oct 19.-Lusty
cheers of welcome from the throats
of thousands of men, women and chill
dren greeted President Roosevelt as
he stepped to the observation plat;
form of his car when the special train
bearing him and his party in their
Southern tour stopped at the Southern
Railway passenger station here at
o'clock this afternoon.
When the cheering had subsided the
president smiling, bowling and waving
his hand to his enthusiastic audience,
turned to greet the committee of citi-
Zens from the Chamber of Commerce
and Board Of Aldermen. and then re-
ceived from Mayor Murphy, acting as
chairman in a few we'll chosen words,
the official welcome to the city OF
Greensboro.
At that moment a young man with
a huge bouquet of beautiful chrySan-
themums, tied with a bow Of white
silk ribbon to which was attached a
small envelope, which bore the words
Mrs. Roosevelt" came forward
through the crowd holding the big
bouquet above his head. The Presi-
dent received it with a smile and a
few words of thanks, sent it into the
car to Mrs. Roosevelt.
Then Lieutenant Governor Winston
stepped TO the railing and introduced
the President, saying:
Fellow North Carolinians, your

Cheers again greeted the nations
chief executive and when he could
make himself heard, he spoke as fol-
lows:

The music of the bands was occa-

people. Banners were flying in gay
colors and the light breeze set the
decorations in motion, the shifting
crowd of pedestrians proving a kaleld-
oscope of changing color, this accent
uated by the regalias of the marshals
and the gold braid of military officers
on horseback. The thousands who
watched grew into more thousands
and the President was constantly on
his feet The handsome decorations
on the buildings were eclipsed by the
beauty of face and costume of young
women who lined all balconies and
filled all windows.
In front of the city hall the Presi-
