set speeches covering the various sub

annual message TO Congress, the Pres

Portland and Sacramento the only
stops were at division points--stops
4 necessary to the operation of the
! train.

We have had evils growing out Of
our prosperity Men have seized

wealth and its use in methods that
are not legal and cannot be approved
