Enroute from Norfolk to Lincoln
Judge Taft will address crowds from
the rear coach at Stanton, West Point
and Scribner.
Mammoth Crowd Expected Here.
Taft day will unquestionably wit
ness a mammoth crowd in Norfolk
Thousands of people from all over
northern Nebraska will undoubtedly
be here to listen to the presidential
nominee. From the Rosebud coun-
try, from the west as far as Chadron
400 miles away, from the Albion
Oakdale branch, and from the Union
Pacific line to the south, hundreds
upon hundreds of people will prob
ably center in Norfolk on that day.
From the fact that Hosllins and
Winside have not been included in
the schedule as telegraphed, it is eX-
pected, also, that many people from
those towns will be here for the
speech.
His Second Visit in Norfolk.
This will be Judge Taft's second
visit in Norfolk Just a year before
the day of his nomination he passed
through Norfolk and made a brief
speech here.
This will be the second presidential
candidate ever to have visited Nor
folk, Mr.. Bryan being the only man
who has ever been here as a presi-
dental candidate. Roosevelt was here
eight years ago, as a candidate for
the vice presidency, but he has not
been in Norfolk since he became
president.
Be Here About Noon.
1t is expected that Judge Taft will
be in Norfolk around the noon hour,
perhaps shortly after all of the in
coming noon trains have arrived.
This will be by all odds the biggest

folk and northern Nebraska
