CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-With his voice
nearly all gone from speaking against
street car gongs, merry-go-rounds and
other outdoor noises encountered at
fairs and about public squares Of
small cities, Governor Wilson today
began the last lap OF his ten day
campaign trip through the Missouri
Mississippi valley and east slope Of
the Rockies, A visit to Chicago firm
" determined that different arrange
ments must be made before he con-
sents to take another such journey.
The Cook county democracy, the
local democratic organization, was at
the train when Wilson arrived, with
it's big band and It's frock coats and
silk hats, unterrified by the misty
rain. AS Wilson left his private car
he was greeted by Mayor Harrison
and former Mayor Dunno now demo-
cratic candidate for governor Dunno
and Harrison are bitter political
enemies. Wilson grasped both by the
hands and greeted them warmly,
while the partisans cheered. Entering
the automobile, Wilson sat between
the rivals and the parade to the Con-
gress Hotel started. The band and
the Cook county democracy preceded
the candidate and about thirty auto
mobiles followed. The governor waa
cheered by the usual morning crowds
on his way past the city hall and up
Michigan boulevard to the hotel.
They put one over on me-" said
the governor, smiling.
The way they put it over was to
| arrange about twice as many speeches
as his schedule called for in every
state. When Acting Chairman Nc
Adoo and the candidate arranged the
trip, they included as many speeches
as they believed man could make
and keep going. Without Governor
Wilson's consent, each local commit
tee sandwiched in about as many
more. Most of them were outdoor
speeches, where the governor had to
talk while the ordinary noises went
on about him. In this way he strain
ed his voice so that when he came to
his big and more important meetings
at the great halls in Denver, Kan
sas City and st. Louis and at the fair
grounds at Springfield, Illinois. his
voice was in such bad shape he
could not make himself heard.
Thousands upon thousands of peo-
pie have seen the candidate; have
cheered and applauded as If they
liked his looks, but only Few have
heard him.
Il have enjoyed meeting the
crowds" said Governor Wilson. ut
has been an inspiration but the strain
on my voice has been more than 1t
could be expected to stand
Two speeches are scheduled here
today; one at McVickers Theatre at
noon and one at the Seventh Regi-
ment armory at night. The governor
will have lunch at the Iroquois club,
hold a reception at the Congress ho-
tel and meet business men In the af-
ternoon.
After the night meeting Governor
