Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1.-Arrangements
for the reception of Candidate Taft In
Omaha this evening underwent a COM
plete revision this morning when no
tice was served that the condition OF
the candidate is such that he must
conserve his strength. Upon his arrival
he will retire to his room for rest and
his two set speeches will be cut to
fifteen minutes each.
Judge Taft received an ovation at
Lincoln, Bryan's home city, last night
and the cordial reception rendered him
there pleased him greatly. He began
the second days tour of Nebraska at
an early hour this morning at Crete,
where the people turned out en- masse
to greet him. His speech was warmly
received.
At Beatrice, the candidate left the
train and spoke from the platform. He
discussed the labor problem and his
remarks were received with enthusias-
tic applause.
His itinerary today included eight
or ten stops, with short speeches at
each stop. Continuous talking is af-
fecting his voice and because of this
the reception planned for tonight in
this city has been altered that he
might have chance to recuperate by
good nights rest.
