His next stop is Sioux Falls, ). D.,

in the president s Omaha speech. His

! TWO SPEECHES TODAY
Omaha And Sioux Falls On

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
Aboard the President Is Train, Under
wood, Iowa, Sept. 8.-Professing conf
dence in victory for the peace treaty
and the league of nations, President
Wilson today resumed his report to the
American people.
Two speeches were planned: tie one
this morning at Omaha and another this
evening at Sioux Falls, s. d. Tomorrow
the president will speak at st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
Wilson 3 special train stopped before
dawn at Underwood, Iowa, about twenty
miles from Omaha. 1t was placed ON a
siding there as the reception committee
was not due to meet the president in
Omaha until 8 a. m. and it was thought
that this time might better be spent in
the country than in a railroad yard.
The president was up early. He found
his travelling White House standing in
corn field with the houses Of Under
wood in the distance. Farm noises
growing Of roosters, etc, sounded faint
ly. "Wilson weather" is the popular
phrase on the train. Sunny skies have
greeted the president almost every
where. Each day he receives By tele
graph weather forecast from, the gov
ernment weather bureau in Chicago.
The president came out on the real
platform for breath of fresh morning
air. The people in Underwood were no
aware that the presidential special wa
SO close by and there were no specta
tors. Shortly afterwards when wore
spread that the chief executive wa
aboard the train standing just oatsid'
the town, the early risers began to stroll
down the tracks to wish him good morn
ing.
Wilson is keenly interested IN tht
type of audiences he faces. He regarded
his Des Moines audience as typically
American. The people who amblcd ovel

morning, seemed to fit the description
They had the look of farmers and many
