Six Set Speeches.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 5.-When Cover
nor Wilson stepped out of his private
| car into the hands on an Omaha re-
| ception committee carly this morning
and was told that he was to deliver
six set speeches and ride 25 miles in
an automobile, he threw up his hands
and gasped. When informed that
| there were so many people who want
ed to hear him that a full schedule was
necessary, he gritted his teeth and
went at it. When the day was half
over he was covered with dust from
head to foot: he was coated with
sticky perspiration and prairie loan;
he was dog tired but he was chucking-
ly happy for the reception he was re-
ceiving had gone straight to his heart,
and filled him with joy. The deeper
he got into it the broader grew his
smile and he left the city in a trail Of
smoke and dust delighted with his ex-
perience and feeling the strenuous day
well worth while.
The governor found every audience
keenly interested and noisily enthu-
siastic. He was almost mobbed by
thousands who wanted to shake his
hand and he was assured of support
from every variety Of Democratic fac
tion in the state.
Governor Wilson went through a new
town. Not an instants rest was al
lowed him. He was bustlel into an
automobile at the depot when he ar
rived and rushes at breakneck speed
to reviewing stand where Mayor
jim appeared in his shining bald
scalp All presented him with the "keys
to the city" Then he was hurried
to Creighton university where he
spoke to about 1000 collegians Back
to town came the string of cars and
the governor was dropped long enough
to make speech to the Womens Dem
ocratic league, where Mrs. w. ]. BRYAN
was a prominent figure. Another
speed smashing trip was made to
South Omaha, where Governor Wilson
made two speeches to employees of the
packing houses and stock yards He
spoke from his automobile about
which the working men gathered in
the dusty streets.
Pleads with Workmen.

workmen to resume charge of their
own government and pledged himself

More than 5000 men in overalls-it
was the noon hour and they missed
their dinner to hear him-applaudcd

Once more the candidate was
whisked away in stream of suffocat-
ing dust. This time he was taken to
the Commercial club where about 500
business men of Omaha greeted him at
lunch and where he made another
speech.
From the club the governor was
rushed to the auditorium, where the
biggest audience of the day stood up
and cheered for minute when he ap-
peared
About 10000 people were packed into
the hall Governor Wilson talked tariff |
and trusts and again he was furiously
applauded. Bp this time 1t was after
o'clock and the governor was put |
aboard his private car, his face
streaked with sweaty dust, his collar
wilted. his homely gray suit grayer
than ever. His train was not due to |
leave for an hour but he tumbled into |
bed Immediately to take advantage OF |
the two-hour run to Lincoln to get a |
little rest.
