washington, Feb. 4.--President Wal
son Is expected to arrive at the White
House from his preparedness campaign
through the middle west some time
late today. The president, according to
dispatches from St Louis. where he
completed his tour, believes that the
sentiment for national preparedness
was underestimated and that he has
aroused a wave of new sentiment
which Will have a telling effect on con-
gress.
1t is not necessary to contrayert the
presidents oft reiterated assertion that
his stumping mission was not poiitl-
cal one to appreciate the full sienifi-
canoe Of what has been happening.
The trip was made with a full reali-
xation that Mr.. Wilson's political flu
ture was virtually concerned in It's
outcome. and ever since the party left
Washington its members have been
alive to the silent battle which was
going on between the president and
Mr.. Bryan for the leadership OF the
| Democratic party.
If only a byproduct Of the tour II Is
important too. that the president has
profited personally by dispelling ideas
that he Ia too proud to fight. too stiff
to talk out or too cold TO be really ant
truly human ..-

RooseveTi on the Stump.
[By J. P. Yoder, United Press Staff
Correspondent
TOLEDO. Ohio, Nov 2-Why Presi-
dent Wilson should not be reelected
his pet theme-was the subject Of
Colonel Roosevelt's speech here at
noon today, when he invaded the
Buckeye state for Hughes rallies here
and at Cleveland. He speaks at
Cleveland tonight.
president Wilson told us yesterday
in speeches at Buffalo, said Roose
welt, that questions involving hu-
man lives should not be dragged into
politics. Very true. Fine words.
They why has he done 1t?
Let me give you a homely exam
pie. Suppose a municipal admins
tration throws a city wide open to
murderers, vice and burglars. The
city has no remedy for such a situa-
ton except through politics. Such ad-
ministration forces other citizens who
want decent government to resort to
politics and that is what Mr.. Wilson'S
administration has forced us to do
AS sub-topic the colonel EN-
phasized true Americanism.' He
quoted from Their True Faith and AL
legiance" written by German-Ameri-
can, Gustavus Ohlinger at Toledo,
with an introduction by Owen Wister.
The book is vigorous denunciation
Of the foreigner who comes here to
reap the benefits Of Americas free
government, but fails to give his full
allegiance to the stars and stripes.
The colonel got a big reception
here. He was paraded in state to the
hall where he spoke.
