shown this afternoon at the Majestic the
atre at o'clock and those DESTROYS of
witnessing it can secure a free ticket

The President made it clear again to-
night that he has no intention of making
it a campaign tour. He reiterated that
all speeches by him away from Shadow

country, the President to write mes
sage for the occasion. The plans are
only tentative, however
Today the President discussed political
questions with Miss Ida Tarbell, a mag
azine writer, and late this afternoon re-
ceived a group of moving picture opera
tors, who took him in various poses.
