Excellent order is preserved by local police, flremen and Boy Scouts at every stOp-untu the police, firemen and Boy Scouts decide they want to see the President.
 After that it is bedlam. The crowds around Rooseveit's auto- mobile have worried the Secret Service sick. The President, however, appears to enjoy them. Gentlemen of the Press
 The newspaperlnen accompany- ing the President attract lot of attention, and in one case-in Chicago-a lot of boos.
 Passing through the crowds that jammed Chicago streets, newspapermenis cars labeled White House Correspondents" were given a laundering Bronx cheer. Explanation by local newsmen was that the four chief papers in Chicago are rabidly anti-Roosevelt-Col. Knox's News, Col. McCormick's Tribune and Hearst's American and Herald Examined.
 For the most part, however, people stream through the Pull mans occupied by the press and seem to think that typewriter being pounded by coatleSs re- porter rates as an exhibit with Barnum and Bailey's.
 Real Work
 Covering this trip, incidentally, has been no sinecure. This Merry-Go-Rounde who lost his hat several days ago, has not yet had time to buy a new one, but had to rely on the taste of a Postal messenger boy who brought back the weirdest Alpine contraption ever seen on the head of a yodeler.
 The really tough jobs, however, fall to the press association re- porters., They are required to telegraph @ steady stream of copy to papers from coast to coast. While morning papers in the east are being made up, evening pa- pers in California are just emerg- ing on the streets.
 It Is almost . 24-hour job. To handle it the press ass0cia- tions have sent along the ace men of their profession. Here is a thumb-nsil sketch of the United Press correspondent, covering the Roosevelt Special
 for The Waterbury Democrat and associated newspapers.
 FRED A. STORM, United Press has covered the President for five years, beginning at Albany when he was still governor. He has made every trip with Roose- welt, travelling 125,O00 miles on land and sea. Storm is big, blonde, studied in Annapolis, is an astute politcial analyst, a brilliant writer.
 Heart Failure
 Mrs. Roosevelt's penchant for colorful friendships gave the poli- ticos accompanying the President some nerve-wracking moments last week.
 This particular friend was Miss Mayris Chaney, night club dancer and vaudeville enter tainer. She turned up at Lin- coin one morning and nearly gave some of the presidential advisers heart failure.
 They had gone to great pains to see that none of the Presidents children be included in his en- tourage. With son Elliott and daughter Anna involved in recent divorces and son Jimmy charged with patronage finagling in Massachusetts, the campaign master minds thought it best to keep them out of the picture.
 Then Miss Chaney came along. She is blonde, slluring and unmistakeably, theatrical. We'll, 1t was just too much for the boys.
 No one paid much attention tc her at first, thinking she was some local parsonage joining the train for a few hours. But when she appeared again the following day, the newsnaen began to ask questions = and the story got out.
 Invited Guest
 That was when the politicos had their fainting spells. Kansas Colorado, Wyoming, Michigan Ohio and upstate New York, all hot battle grounds, still lay before them. Miss Chaney was discreet and elf-effacing g-but she couldn't be missed.
 The politicos said nothing in "the back car" (the Presidents travelling residence) but they talked plenty in the press cars They had nothing against Miss Chaney. She was most charming and refined. But they were sure that 50 theatrical-looking Q per- sonage would not go over well ir conservative rural areas. And they made it clear that they thought Mrs. Roosevelt should restrain her big hearted hostess impulses during the
 campaign.
