Enters State ut Fort Scott Sat-
urday Morning.
THROU6H Topeka SUNDAY
4. b. Will Be Here Five Min
utes ON Rock Island.
After Western Tour Comes q
Conference With Leaders.

Roosevelt's first message to. the
west in the 1914 campaign will be
delivered in Wichita Saturday after
noon.
Detailed plans for Rooseve1t'e
western trip were announced today
from Colonel Roosevelt's home in Oys-
ter Bay N. T., and a telegram re-
ceived by U. S. Sartin. Progressive
state chairman, outlined the trip
through kansas. A telegram to Sar-
tin from Oakley Davis. secretary of
the Progressive national committee,
insures Roosevelt speeches in Wfch-
ita, Hutchinson and Kansas City. Kan.
Colonel Roosevelt leaves New York
Thursday after a conference in New
York City Wednesday with Progress
eive national leaders. His first speech
on the two weeks trip will be deliv-
cred Saturday afternoon in Wichita
Leaving st. Louis Friday night over
the Iron Mountain, Colonel Roosevelt
will enter Kansas Saturday morning
at Fort Scott. The trip from Fort
Scott to Wichita will be made via
lola, Yates Center. Eureka and Ell
dorado, although it is hardly prob
able that any speeches will be deliv-
cred enroute. Roosevelt is due to ar
rive in Wichita at II o'clock Saturday
at 1880 in the afternoon and will leave
at $40 for Hutchinson. where he
speaks at night. Roosevelt and his
party will leave Hutchinson for Kan
sas City sunday afternoon on the
Rock Islands Golden State Limited.
The only chance Topekans will have
to see the Progressive party leader
will be when the train stops here
from 5:35 to $40. No speech will be
made in Topeka and 1t is doubtful If
Roosevelt leaves his car during the
brief stop in the Kansas capital.
Monday night Roosevelt speaks in
Kansas City. Kan.
From Kansas, Roosevelt goes into
Nebraska to speak for the Progressive
cause That Kansas was especially
favored in making up the western
itinerary is shown by the fact that this
state gets three days and three
speeches, while Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois.
Missouri and Michigan each receive but
one day and one official speaking date.
Tuesday, Roosevelt speaks in Lincoln,
Neb., Wednesday in Des Aoines. Iowa.
Thursday in Chicago. Friday, st. Louis;
and Saturday in Indianapolis. The
TENDER 30 wher Roosevelt speaks in
Bay City, Mich.
In view Of the fact that the first
speech on Roosevelt's western trip will
be delivered in Kansas. the Wichita
meeting will be Of especial importance
Special arrangements have been made
for handling extra train service from
towns tributary to Wichita and the
meeting in that town will perhaps be
the largest Of the Roosevelt dates ir
Kansas.
A delegation of Progressive leaders
will meet Colonel Roosevelt and party
at Fort Scott and will accompany him
on his trip through Kansas

eral efforts to put through an en-

club members. All failed. Then the
club took final action by unanimously
tabling the resolution until Nov. 10
one week after the election.
Out over the state the report has
been circulated that Billiard would
not only draw heavily from tho. Cap
per following in Topeka. but that he
would leave home with almost tho
solid Democratic support. It was to
make good this prediction and boil
ster the Billiard cause In other coun-
ties that the former mayors friends
sought an endorsement through the
F1ambeau club. Many Of Billiards
warmest personal friends are MEM
bers of the organization. The club is
composed of Democratic voters and
workers in Shawnee county. Some of
the strongest party leaders in Topeka
are members Of the club. For that
reason an official endorsement of the
Billiard candidacy from the F1ambeau
club would on its face. at least. indi-

sent out from Topeka that BLIZZARD
