Headway Than Upon His
First Appearance in CoIum-

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON s
TRAIN. Sept. S--President Wilson did
much better at Indianapolis and st.
Louis than at Columbus Not only did
ms speeches take better with the crowds
put the people seemed to be reused to
high pitches of enthusiasm which were
totally lacking at the outset.
The president has evidently been ad =
Vlsed that the people want speeches
with punch inathem. For in both In
dlanapolis and st, Louis he adopted the
Rooosevetian tactics for the first time
In his career and brought his audience
TO its feet again and again. That is a
new thing with Woodrow Wilson, Us
ually he depends upon quiet, deliberate
cratorical persuasion. Today he Is
changed He is bellgerent. He Is maxi
ing the fight of his life and II his
speech at St. Louis, which seemed to
make the best impression thus far, is
an index of what he plans to do, the
public can expect Mr.. Wilson to arouse
the nation on the issue of the league
to degree of passion and fervor hith-
erto absent
The president is reducing his argu-
ments to simple statements, His appeal
to the st. Louis chamber or commerce
was especially intended for business
men. His plea to the farmers who
gathered from all parts of Indiana was
vivid portrayal Of the horrors of an
other war. His challenge to critics was
a defiant call for a substitute program
II they intend to defeat the proposed
league. His central effort is to show
that the. opponents of the league have
picked flaws here and there but have
said nothing of the constructive posi-
bilities Of 20 out Of 26 articles of the
covenant
