and met with a committee of the Ke-
nosha people and outlined, the -ecep-
tion that is to be given the president.
| Mayor M. j. Seholey, r. Y. Baker,
chairman of the Republican county
committee, John G. Slater and Alder
man ". 7. Marlatt, met with Mr..
Wheeler and at the end of the hours
session the plans had been definitely
arranged and there will be no devia-
tion from them.
Mr.. Wheeler was given to under
stand that Kenosha would be proud to
have the president as guest of the
city for longer than the half hour as
signed to the city, but Mr.. Wheeler
declared that re arrangement of the
Lplans of the last week of the trip
would be impossible and with this the
local committee declared that they
were satisfied with any arrangements
that the president and his aides would
make.
Everything possible will be done to
safeguard the president during his
short stay in Kenosha and at the same
time it is the will of the president
that the people Of Kenosha be given
chance to see and hear him.
| The president will arrive on his
special train at 6:l5 Friday afternoon.
Tie train will be made up of four
coaches. The presidents private car
"Ideal " will be at The end Of the train
and ahead of it will be a compartment
sleeper, a dining car, and a car fitted
! for the use of the officials of the rail
way party. There will be twenty
members of the presidents party and
the train will be run straight through
the yards of the company to Prairie
avenue where the members of the
party will leave the train and take
automobiles for ride about the city.
President Taft is planning to make a
notable speech in Kenosha and while
it will be but twenty minutes in dura-
ticn it is expected to be of especial
interest and the committee has been
asked to make arrangements to take
care of forty special newspaper CORES
pondents.
There are to be eleven automobiles
in readiness to take care of the presi-
dents party and these will form on
Prairie avenue facing east. Every car
will be numbered and the places will
be assigned to the guests and the mem
bers Of the committee before the train
pulls in. IT is expected that hundreds
of other automobiles will take part in
the parade and these will form in a
line on West Main street facing south
but north of Prairie avenue
On the arrival of the special train
the members of the reception commit
tee will be introduced to the president
after which the members of the party
will leave the train and take the auto
mobiles. The line Of march will be
east on Prairie avenue to Chicago
street, south on Chicago to Deming,
east to Park avenue, north along Main
street to Market Square and west on
the Square and along Market street to
Ashland avenue and the Coliseum where
the president will speak.
The president will be attended by
full retinue of secret service men and
the local police and the force of the
sheriff will be called out to take care
Of the crowds. On account of the linn
tied time that the president will be
in Kenosha it will be impossible to
arrange for a public reception
After the speech at the Coliseum the
president and his party viii leave at
once for the train which will be placed
at some convenient spot and the train
will leave at once for Chicago. The
president is due to arrive in Chicago
at 1855 and for this reason no time
will be lost in getting out of Kencsha.
1.-THE president is very anxious to
have a chance to speak to the people
of kenosha county and this vicinity. -
said Mr.. Wheeler, Fand for this rea-
son lie asked that the preliminaries
to the address be made as short as
possible. He has spoken especially of
the Kenosha visit and would have lik-
ed very much to have given more time
to Kenosha, but it was found to be
| impossible. The speech before the
Hamilton club nj Chicago is counted
as one of the big features Of the presi-
dents record breaking trip and
were it not for that fact there IS No
doubt but that the president would
have made his stop in Kenosha lone
err
The members of the president 3
party as they will be taken care of
