persons between those ages ask to
have Mr.. Wilson stand up to be looked
over.
Samples of the comments | have
heard establish her popularity over
the president beyond doubt with the
women at least. | overheard one
woman IN a Nebraska town express
the wish that Mr.. Wilson would per-
init his wife to make some of his
speeches and answer questions that
the women would like to put to her.
The Nebraska woman said
Want to Hear Mrs, Wilson.
'Of course, / am for the league of
nations if it keeps us out of war.
Everybody is. But ] don't care any
thing about hearing MFR, Wilson tell OF
1t. | would walk ten miles though to
bear Mrs. Wilson tell all about her
experiences in Europe with those
queens and princesses.
II would Ike to see the things they
gave her, what she wore at the big
dinners in the kings palaces and what
the queens wore. | would like to
know how she runs the White House,
whether she does the whole OF the
marketing and if the butcher and
| grocer try to cheat her like they try
to cheat the rest Of us
| Il would like TO know what she
thinks &c tic high cost of living; i:
she ever has any trouble with the
hired girls like we have out here. II
! the president wants to get every
woman's vote for the league, you Just
let Mrs. Wilson sub for him some
night and tell the women the things
| they want to know"
Ease of Delivery.
! The ease with which the president
| delivers his speeches has surprised
even those who have long heen ac-
custon ed to listening to them. On
| Only Two occasions since he started on
| his tour hits he carried with him
manuscripts that he consulted AT
| Omaha he took along a three-inch
/ thick .NClume containing tho French
and English text of the treaty and
| tlen he used It solely as an exhibit to
show that It contained much more
matter than the discussions in the
| senate have indicated.
He merely look at the outside OF ii,
| then repeated verbatim the exact
| phrasine of Article X. and from mem
ory provided very comprehensive
paraphrase Of some of the other inn
! portant features to which the senate
rarely If ever refers.
Onithe other occasion the president
prepared q tabloid scenario of the
league, but he only looked at It once
! or twice. AS a rule he personally
writes memoranda bearing upon
| speeches he is to deliver. He pounds
them out on a typewriter of ''ancient
vintage" using or misusing two fin
| gers in the undertaking. &
He makes very clean copy but II is
an interesting fact that he rarely ever
consider his memoranda after he has
prepared It, Nine times out of ten he
entirely forgets to put the memoranda
in his pocket. He did so the other
night at St. Paul and later on al
| Helena
With metriculous care he had pre-.
pared an outline of what he wanted
to say. When he started for the meet
ing he found tha+ he had left the
memoranda in his ear.
Mrs Wilson found it for him, and
he stuffed it into the inside pocket OF
| his cutaway coat. The only time he
touched il was after he had got hack
to his car and prepared to retire
He did not once think of his men,
oranda while he was making his
| speech.
| No more convincing evidence of the
hold of the president on the affections
of the far western people was provid-
ed shan during the flight of his train
| through the Rocky mountains. In
some way the people knew the presl-
dent would pass through at certain
scheduled hour of the day or night
