Washington, d. c., Sept 26.-All ar
rangements have practically been COM
pleted for the coming trip of President
Roosevelt in the West and South. Ac.
cording to the present schedule the
president will leave next Sunday for
Canton, Ohio, which city will be reached
about noon on Monday. In the after
noon of that day he will participate in
the dedication of the magnificent mon
ument to the late President Mckinley,
making the principal address on that
occasion. The same evening he will
leave Canton for Keokuls, which city
will be the starting point of his seven
hundred mile journey down the Missis-
sippi river.
The members of the Inland Water
way commission which the president ap-
pointed few months ago, will meet
him at keokuk AMI accompany him on
the river trip. The commission is schcd'
uled to leave st. Paul today for an in
spection of the upper Mississippi river
This inspection will occupy four days
and the commission will reach Keokuk
in time to meet the president next
Tuesday.
party will journey down the Mississippi
to st. Louis, which city will be reached
Wednesday morning, October l. AT st.
Louis the president will be greeted by
Burke of North Dakota, Folk of Mis-
souri,, Paterson of Tennessee, Buchtel
of Colorado, Chamberlain of Oregon,
Toole of Montana, Brooks of Wyo-
ming, Crawford of South Dakota, Da-
wilson of Wisconsin, Sheldon of Ne
braska, Cummins of Iowa, Hoch of Kan
sas, Deneen of Illinois, Frantz of Okla
homa, Pindall of Arkansas, Blanchard
of Louisiana, Broward of Florida and
Campbell of Texas. The president and
the governors will be the guests of the
Business Mems league while in st.
Louis, and arrangements are being
made to give the distinguished visitors
hearty welcome.
At ST. Louis the president will deliver
one of the most important addresses of
his trip. He will speak in the Jai Alai
building, a structure that will seat H.
900 people. A luncheon at the Jeffer-
sonian hotel will follow and then the
party will leave for another section of
the journey, that from st. Louis to
Cairo. The southern Illinois city will b.
reached the morning of October 3. The
governors will accompany the president.
At Cairo the party will stop but two
hours, but in that time the president
will deliver another of the speeches h"
has specially prepared for the occasion.
Leaving Cairo at II o'clock in the
morning, still accompanied by the gov
ernors, the whole party will steam to
Memphis, which city will be reached at
l O'Clock on the afternoon of October
The second annual convention of the
l-ahts-to-lhc-puiI btep N"sSi""y ""
sociation will meet at Memphis at 10
O'Clock on the morning of October 4,
and in the afternoon the president will
address the delegates in the Memphis
auditorium. This will conclude his trip
and speechmaking, so far as present ar
rangements go. 1t is probably, however
that the president will continue his
journey into Mississippi and probably
go on a short hunting trip further west.
In this event he will not return to
Washington until after the middle of
October.
The seven days between mis- leaving
this city and his appearance at Mem
phis will be an exceedingly strenuous
week for the president Besides the
hale dozen set speeches, each of which
will be read very generally by nation
of sO,OOO,OOO people, the president will
be called on for as many more extern
poraneous talks, and these, too, require
some attention, although not finished
preparation. Already there are 'indica-
tions that tax will be made on the
president stored-up vitality gained
from the three and half months he
has spent at his summer home at Oyster
Bay.
