u New York, August 22.-In car
pecially chartered for the purpose Col
Theodore Roosevelt leaves home to-
morrow to begin a Western tour that
promises to attract as much If not
more public attention than any trip
he made while he was President. The
trip will extend over a period Of IS
days and will carry the former Presi-
dent as far West as Cheyenne, Wyo.
The rumors that Colonea Roosevelt
is not in thorough sympathy with the
Taft administration and the fact that
his speeches are to be delivered for
the most part in "Insurgent" terri
tory have caused the politicians of all
parties and all shades to look for
ward to the Ex-President's swing
around the circle with a feeling of
keen interest, not unmixed with anx-
iety in some quarters.
AS matter of fact, however. those
who stand closest to Col. Roosevelt
are of the opinion that he will steer
clear of Republican factional differ
ences in the States where he is to
| speak. They predict that he will dis
cuss issues irrespective of party plat
forms or factional policies, and that
he is likely to step on the toes of
some Insurgents as well as upon
I those of the regulars. 1t is believed,
moreover, that the present trip will
dispose once for all of the assertion
Of some Insurgents that Col. Roose-
welt is out of sympathy with President
Taft and the majority of his party.
Col Roosevelt will stp off Wednes-
day in Utica to make a speech to the
farmers of Oneida and Herkimer coun-
ties. While in Utica he will be the
guest of his brother-in-law, Douglas
Robinson. From Utica he will go di-
rect to Cheyenne, using the New York
Central Railroad to Buffalo, the Lake
Shore to Chicago, the Northwestern
to Omaha, and the Northern Pacific
to Cheyenne. He will arrive at Chey-
enne Saturday, and remain there until
the following Monday. The Frontier
Day celebration will be in progress in
the Wyoming capital, and Col Roose-
welt expects to meet all his old COM
rades of the plains there.
Leaving Cheyenne Col. Roosevelt
will go direct to Denver and will
spend the afternoon and evening of
Monday. August 20, there The purpose
of his visit to Denver Will be to speak
at the opening of the national en-
campment of the United Spanish War
Veterans. From Denver he will go
to Osawatomie, Kas.. for the dedica-
ton of State park on the old Osa-
watomie battlefield. This event is
scheduled for Wednesday, August 81.
The following day the Ex-President
will visit Kansas City and it is said
he will probably deliver an important
nOliticaJ cnaanh thara ErO,,, K,as, ,
City he will proceed to Omaha, arrly-
ing there Friday, September 2, and
remaining until the following day.
Sunday will be spent in Sioux Falls
and the next day he will deliver a La
Dor Day address in Fargo. Tuesday,
the day following, one of his most I'M
portant speeches will be delivered III
| st. Paul, before the Conservation Con-
gress. Clifford Pinchot will be on the
platform with him.
On Wednesday, September 7, Col
Roosevelt will be the guest of the
Press Club at Milwaukee. The next
jump will be to Freeport, H., and
then to Chicago, where he will speak
under the auspices of the Hamilton
Club. The same night he will move
on to Cincinnati, and spend Friday,
September 8, there as the guest Of
the Ohio Valley Exposition.
Saturday, September 10, he will
journey to Pittsburg to address the
Civic Commission of that city. From
Pittsburg he will return direct to
New York, making no more speeches
for the rest of the trip, and will reach
Oyster Bay on Sunday, September II.
The foregoing travelling card shows
the set speeches that the Ex-President
is scheduled to make, but the demand
to hear him is so great over all the
territory which he will cover that it
is probable he will deliver many ex-
tempore talks from the rear end of
his private car.
