WILSON CHEERED
 IN STREETS OF CHICAGO
Delivered Three Speeches and Partici-
 pated in Demonstrations.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-President Wilson came here today to explain his view on problems facing the nation. Arriv- with the crowds in Indiana, he deliv- cred three speeches, participated in several street demonstrations and went over his western campaign plans with his managers at headquarters here. He will return to Long Branch, N. J., to- morrow.
 In a speech before the Chicago Press club the president predicted the begin ming of "a renaissance of the sense of patriotic responsibility" and urged the development of progressiveness. Speaking before a gathering of women later, he urged more participation of women in the affairs of the nation, and at a meeting tonight of new citiens he declared for united America
 The president was cheered by thrOngs in the streets during his auto mobile rides from place to place and in halls where he spoke. He stood constantly in his automobile while in passing through the streets and smil- ingly waved his hat to the people on the streets and in the windows of buildings.
 An attempted silent demonstration" by members of the rational woman's party in front of the Auditorium de- veloped into a near-riot in which the banners opposing Wilson were torn from the demonstrators and trampled

for his goods. The speaker explained the way panics were started in the days of other administrations and he showed how it was impossible to have that thing occur under the present law. The democratic party is afraid of the money that is under the con troI of the other party as they are composed of the money class, while this party is made up of the working class.
 The president had been criticised for the passing of the eight hour day law, but this, said the speaker, was not fair as every one realizes that the best work can be done in that time. Although it is said that a farmer works from morning until night, MT. Palmer stated that or his farm no man is allowed to work more than eight hours and the plan has been very successful.
 A number of other issues of the present administration were taken up, among them the rural credits system, which was explained in detail.
 Among the other speakers Of the ev- ening were Mayor Daniel P. Dunn, Pierre Laramee and Frank P. Fenton. The two latter men are the democratic candidates for representatives from the town of Windham.

WILSON CLUB
OFFICIALLY OPENED
w. N. Palmer Of Oxford Principal
 Speaker of She Evening.

Owing to the bad weather that pre- vailed Thursday evening. the opening of the Wilson club was attended by only a few people. The meeting was called to order by John Collins, presi- dent of the club, at 830 MT. Col ford who spoke on the Issues of the Day.
 Mir. Palmer opened his remarks by stating that the present campaign was the most important one that had ever taken place in the history of this country. As the slaves were enamel pated after the great Civil war so have the white people of this country been emancipated by the present ad- ministration, said the speaker. The men of the country can hold their heads higher and have better wages than ever before and work is pIenti- full for those that want to work. Ke- lations of society have changed to Q great extent in the past few years and the articles that were before made by hand are now made by machinery and are turned out by the thousands. Un- fortunately women and children have gone into work in the concerns and have been underpaid by the owners. The president realized the conditions and at once started out to remedy the trouble.
 MT. Palmer stated that he was a farmer by occupation and for that reason had become interested in this campaign as the president had done a great deal to help the farmers of the country. During panics and hard times the farmer can find no market for lis productions and consequently reserve act, which he explained to those present, no such thing as q panic can happen to the country and the farmer can get a good market
