MILWAUKEE, Sept 17.-Pres-
west today He will stop at La
Cross thirty minutes this afternoon
thence to Winona. Mimi. The Pres

gressional insurgents and there is
much curiosity as to when he will
discuss the merits and demerits of
the Payne tariff bill. He will prob

at Winona. The President arose at
Z O'Clock this morning and break
tasted on his car. A crowd began
to gather in the vicinity of the train
as early as o'clock and when the

he was cherred by a throng which
extended for blocks Entering an

CHICAGO, Sept. IA strong de-

a lawful manner wss tbe feature OF
an address by PresidSnt Taft in Or
chestra hall here The President
also said he would recommend to the
next congress the legislation on the
