 EXTENSIVE USE OF
 SCHOOL BUILDINGS
(Continued From Page One)


 rromptu tour of 21o, miles 10 nearly io,oeg people and that he had shaken hands in single day witt about 3oo0 aersons The most interesting revelation to Governor Wilson was the fact that he found himself making seven speeches instead or the one he had planned, that he was just as busy on the back platform of his .rain as presidential candidates always have been, and that he was almost converted to the old fashioned idea of campaigning, which at first he had thought of abandoning in favor of few scheduled addresses.
 ''I would enjoy all, in fact, 1 like it, ]" MT. Wilson said, but the back platform speaking is too much It is difficult to talk while engines are popping steam and the noise of the railroads are dstract- ing. If I did not have to make speeches and could just shake hands, l would not mind 1t at all, because the people seem so straightforward, so hearty, and so sincere
 The governor plainly was pleased by the thousands who greeted him along the route, the more so because his recent stops along the line were impromptu re- captions his car being attached to reg ular train. The governor liked his Penn- sylyania experience so much that he said he might make more speeches there Gov ernor Wilson goes to Scranton in Se,- 
 mobilize his campaign in the next month on New York and Pennsylvania and more speeches in the latter state may be ex- pected The state committeeman of Penn syivanla who accompanied the governor urged him to do so.
