EIGHT ADDRESSES
ARE PLANNED FOR
PRESIDENTS TRIP
Swing Around Circle" In
Interests of Defenses
Begins Friday.

Washington. Jan. 24.-President VIII
son, apparently refreshed by his two
day trip down the Potomac aboard the
naval yacht Mayfower, today began
the task Of cleafing up all pending
routine business preparatory to start
ing on Thursday on speechma xulg
trip to New York and the middle west
to lay before the country his plans for
national preparedness.
The President had business and So
cia1 engagements which were expected
to keep him busy from now until he
leaves for New York. 1t called for
conferences today with members Of
Congress, a cabinet meeting tomorrow
and several dinner engagements.
"A complete program for his Swing
around the circle in the interest of
preparedness was laid before the. Pres
ident today. It had been mapped out
by the White House office force while
he was aboard the tAfayf1ower prepar-
singA the addresses he will deliver.
Scores Of invitations for the President
to include cities not on his scheduled
itinerary had to be refused. At the
White House today, it was said, how
ever, that his route has been arranged
SO that a brief stop can be made a.
ST. Louis.
: The preparedness issue which has
for some time been oversh allowed IN
interest and discussion in Congress by
the Mexican problem and the internal
uonal situation has again come to the
forefront as a result of President VII
sons decision to make a personal APP
peal to the country in behalf Of his
program. In consequence, friends and
opponents alike of preparedness look
for stirring times in Congress.
Many members apparently are wait
ing to hear from back home'I on the
subject of preparedness before decid-
ing on a. course of action and it is be-
heved that the preparedness trip not
only will bring out public opinion but
arouse Congress- ITO activity.
President Wilson decided today to
include ST. Louis in his itinerary of
the middle western trip he will begin
Friday night. He will visit ST. Louis
on the night. of FEB. on the way
back to, Washington from Topeka,
Kan. The addition of St. Louis means,
that he will make eight formal ad-
dresses during the trip.
The object of the President in max
ing the trip. White House officials
said, is to speak to the average citi-
zen in the middle west
More invitations to speak in the
middle west and on later trips were
received at the White House today
and the President replied to all, say
ing h ewanted to visit as many cit
ses as possible, bu twas uncertain
about his exact plans. At the re-
quest of Senators Stone and Reed the
President decided to visit st. Louis
as well as Kansas City.

painted at this point and narrow
strips of boarding we're nailed to the

paint from passing vehicles. Scarcely
had the workmen left the spot where
they had applied repeated applications
of the paint when it was absorbed
into the creosoted block. Half an

believed that the city will have. to
resort to the thick whitewash used

Fellow Citizens:
A few weeks ago we concluded one

and militant. Victory for the whole

. deep sense Of appreciation and obli

ferred upon me, and I want you to
know that l am not unmindful of the
re possibility involved with the com.
Ipliment extended. The Governor OF
Missouri should represent the state In

eye seeing solely the welfare Of the
whole people. The present time pre-

without fear or favor.
The Mission Of Democracy.
am Democrat because l believe
that the ultimate ideals and best in
terests OF the whole people in our
state and national life can more com.
pletely be accomplished through the
Democratic party than in any other
way. It offers to the individual the
largest measure of security, the great.
est freedom Of conscience, and the
widest liberty of action consistent
with the common good and the rights
Of others.
The fundamentals of Democracy are
based upon equality of right and even.
ness of opportunity to all as opposed
to special privilege to the few at the
expense Of the whole people. Democ-
racy does not teach that one man, or
GLASS Of men, should have advantage
over the rest. but rather that "that
law IL Just law which makes for
the interest of the greatest number"
This is not new doctrine-it ID 20
old as the Declaration of Independ-
once.
In my opinion these are the princi.
ples upon which we can safely stand
and work out the new problems which
confront us by reason Of the new con-
ditions which are constantly arising
in the development and growth Of this
neat commonwealth.
