came.
Arising early this morning after .
good nights rest on his special car,
the chief executive Immediately In
quired whether any papers had been
placed on the train which carried
information regarding the results OF
the Maine elections yesterday.
A study OF these carried him -
far a. Chicago where his special
train arrived at about $3.50 this
morning and whence 1t departed
about an hour later on its way
through Indiana to tho east.
Although the usual precautions
had been taken to keep the timer
airy of the presidential train secret
for reasons OF safety. crowds wero
at hand everywhere the train
stopped. These crowds were not 20
large in most places az they had
been on the outgoing trip. but this
was accounted for by railroad Off,
Gals AZ probably due to the late
night and early morning hours OF
the train schedule so far.
In the Chicago railroad yards
where the train was Unanswered
and shifted repeatedly. crowds.
mostly composed of yard workers,
had gathered to cheer President and
Mrs. Coolidge. urging them to come
out on the observation platform. At
the California avenue yards larger
crowd clamored for their appearance
and President Coolidge finally con-
scented to appear.
Batteries of cameras clicked as
President and Mrs. Coolidge stood on
the end of the train and smiled and
waved their hands. In the group
thronging beneath the platform were
many negro youngsters from near
by school, who grinned with delight
when Mrs. Coolidge came out on the
platform with Tiny Tim. the White
House chow. Rob Roy. the presi-
dents pet collie, was not SO tractable
and the children were particularly
gleeful when Mr.. Coolidge lifted the
struggling dog to the car railing and
made him face the flashlights of the
cameraman. Neither the President
nor Mrs. Coolidge spoke to the
crowd.
During the trains brief pause here
the chief executive had an opportun-
ity for chat with Representative
Walter Newton Of Minnesota, chair
man of the republican campaign
speakers bureau, and James w.
Good, OF Chicago. western campaign
manager. who boarded the train dur
ing the switching operations.
