Presidents Big Trip Starts
With Enthusiastic Welcome

going to speak about reciprocity until
after the matter Is settled in Canada.
We have done our part, and we are
waiting, and it Is just as we'll for us
to be quiet"
The president is fearful that any
thing that he might say about reci-
procity at this time would endanger
the chances Of the agreement in Can
ada, where its fate depends upon the
fight Premier Laurier Is making for
the measure in the Canadian cleo
tons.
The Auto sideshow.
After his speech at the state fair
grounds at Syracuse, the president
was accorded generous reception by
the $4,000 or more people, crowded in
the grand stand and about the race
track where wild Bob Burman had
just finished an attempt to lower the
mile track record in wrecked auto
that coughed fragments of it's engine
all about the track. wild Bob's' ex-
perience had frightened many about
the track. He was just turning in to
the stretch of the big track when g.
series of gasping explosions shook his
big Blitzon-Benz car. A flash of flame
shot from the rear of the auto and the
hurtling mass quivered, hesitated,
and then dashed at the human braced
fence before the clubhouse where
the president sat. A loud shout went
up from the crowd but with mighty
turn at the wheel, Burman regained
control, and with its parts scattered
along the track, brought 1t to stand
still before the judges stand.
In no uncertain terms the president

United States brought out the stand
Ing room only sign. But in the main
feature of the day when the president
appeared at the closing session of the
New York state fair at Syracuse he
was forced to divide the attention of
the audience with a circling aeroplanei
driver, speed and motor drivers, and
the numerous attractions Of the day.
Five thousand people, more than
could comfortably hear him, gatner-
ed In the Empire court, where he
made his big speech of the day. But
few hundred feet away some $4,000
watched the belching. hustling autos
that careened wildly about the race
track.
Although the president passed in
review before about 100000 people on
the first day of his western trip, some
$4,000 heard him talk.
People Anxious to Hear.
Every audience along the way was
anxious to hear the president talk
politics. They were anxious to hear
him discuss the Canadian reciprocity
situation. But these subjects were ta-
booed for the day, and the passage of
agriculture and arbitration were the
titles of the two big speeches at Syra-
cuse and Erie The president promis-
ed to talk on reciprocity later. In his
arbitration speech here the president
pointed out method of compromise
that may satisfy the senate which
has been holding up the British and
French arbitration treaties negotiat'
ed by the president. The senate OBJ
jected to the submitting to high
joint commission of three from each
of the disputing countries, the ques
ton OF jurisdiction over the issues in
dispute. At the present it lies with
the senate to determine whether
matters in dispute are arbitrable.
The treaties proposed joint high
commission appointed by the presi
dent, and in the treaties as amended
the powers of the commission are
curtailed and the duty of decidins
whether questions are arbitrable re
mains with the senate. In his speech
tonight the president said:
Now If the senate desires or If con
gress desires, there is no reason VIII,
the three Americans who are to bt
appointed upon such joint high com
mission should not be confirmed b.

to trust the president only to MAKE

Great Step Forward.

In discussing the treaties, the presi-
dent declared great step forward
which they embraced was their ex-
tending to the Jurisdiction of boards
OF arbitration all questions of law
and equity" 1t is in determining what
are questions involving law and
equity that the joint high commits
sion is created"
But would go further" said the
president, Il would be willing to
leave the question of whether an is
sue arising is justifiable or not to
the decision of board of arbitration
which is ultimately to decide arbitra-
Die questions. Ultimately have no
doubt We will come to that. This is a
step in that direction and takes away
from the executive and the senate the
absolute power to withhold questions
from arbitration just because they do
not think 1t is justifiable. II we are
really In favor of arbitration as a
means of avoiding war, then why
should we not be willing to submit to
impartial men, the decision upon a
question rather than leave it to the
result of bloody battle in which a
lair cause may be taken, or an unjust
cause conquer?"

recover. His mechanician, VIM.

MAYo'S SUPPORT CLAIM

Man.

Paducah, March 27.-State Gen.
trail Committeeman W. A. Berry has
left for Louisville to open campaign
headquarters for Judge WIN. Reed,
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor. The head
quarters will be either in the Old Inn
or Seelbach Hotel. Committeeman
Berry expects to have the headquar-
tiers open today or Tuesday.
Having put his hand to the pillow,
Judge Reed will not turn back, but
as soon as he concludes the term of
court at Mayfeld this week he will
enter actively on his canvass for the
gubernatorial nomination before the
Democratic State Primary, July l
He will open campaign headquar-
tiers at Paducah and at Louisville
No joint debate with McCreary is
contemplated. The campaign viii
open at Owensboro the first week ir
April and will continue thence al
over the State.
Support of influential interests al
Louisville and the approval of Johr
J. C. Mayo and the Eleventh District
crowd, which defeated McCreary il
his race with Beckham, are said t
have been secured for Judge Reed
and the Purshase politicians regart
his race for the nomination as won
There seems to be no doubt that
big change has taken place in tn
situation, since the last committe
meeting. and it is believed McCrear,
alienated many of his big supporter
by throwing his influence on tn
side'of the senatorial primary. Thi
support has gone to Reed.
Judge Reed will not resign unit
after the primary, anyway; but it j
probable he will relinquish the bencl
if he is nominated for Governor.
