Strong efforts will he made by
congressman and state officials to
have the president stop tor a few
minutes at least at nearly all the
towns Of appreciable size through
which his train will pass in the
daylight hours. Already the presi-
dent has been bombarded with
such requests. He has suggested
TO all oil his callers aud correspond
ents that they take the matter UP
with him later. The trips he has
made thus far the president mas
adhered to the policy OF journey
ing in a single private car attached
to regular trains. On his far
western trip, however, where
trains are run heavier and at
longer intervals than here in the
east, il is likely the president will
have to follow the policy OF his
predecessors in chartering a spe.
cial train, especially IL he stops at
the smaller cities that dot the way
between the large places.
The president expects to be
away Tor two months and will
have to carry complement oil
