The prediction that President Roosevelt would compete with the Republican National Convention for publicity, and seek to blanket it, seems likely to qualify as the seasons worst political guess.
 There were at least two good req sons, all the time, for being certain he would attempt no political bomb smelling in the speeches he was booked to make in the South and West during Cleveland convention week.
 One was that that hardly would be the time, when the Republican picture was changing from day to day, to take up major campaign issues. It would be too much like shooting at rapidly tar get.
 The other reason was that it would take something like a super

CROWDS GREET
 PRESIDENT ON
 WESTERN TRIP
Chief Executive Off on A. 000-Mile Tour of
 Middle West

ABOARD ROOSEVELT'S TRAIN FEN ROUTE LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June 9.-President Roosevelt was welcomed into Tennessee today by a crowd of several thousand who gathered at the station of Bristol during a brief stop The Demo- cratic Executive committee was on hand there and put baskets of flow CTS on the train which left Wash ington last midnight on 4,000- mile tour of the Middle West.
 The President has speaking en- agreements in Arkansas, Texas and Indiana.
 Indiana. His first stop will be in Arkansas, at Little Rock and Hot Springs.
 Then he will proceed to Fort Worth Tex, to spend a night with his son and daughter in-law, MT. and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt, who live there. The next day he will make the short trip to Dallas to deliver a speech on the grounds of the Texas Centennial.
 Then To Indidna
 From Dallas his train will swing north to Vincennes, Ind, where he will speak at the dedication of the George Rogers Clark memorial.
 The scheduled Indiana address has stirred political gossip. It will come at the time the Republican Convention at Cleveland reaches climax. But MT. Roosevelt has said none of his speec on his trip will be political. He is planning to talk on subjects more intimately concerned with tfi cere- monies at which he appears.
 In any case, the President has said he must be back in Washing ton on June l5 Then will come lull until June g when the Dem ocrats convene at Philadelphia. It is expected to be short conven- ton which will end with the nom- ination of President Roosevelt for second term.
 He has said he will do as he did in 1882; go immediately to the con- vention for the notification cere- monies. Mrs Roosevelt will accom- pany him to Philadelphia, and then "go off the record for the sum- mer."
 To Virginia in July
 On July Fourth the President will journey south into Virginia, to aid in dedication of the Shenandoah National Park. The President in- tends to stay in the neighbor- hood over night, no doubt to feast his eyes on the rolling Blue Ridge ranges and to drive along some of the new roads which are opening the untouched forests to motorists.
 The Presidents later summer plans are uncertain. It is ex- pected he will spend some time at his cool and peaceful Hyde Park home in New York. His week ends in the capitol no doubt will find him on the Potomac river fish, ing and keeping cool.
 It is assumed that in September and October he will make a cam paign swing around the country, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt.
 But the whole June schedule, the President emphasizes. is contingent on what Congress does. He will only order up his bags from the luggage room "if" Congress finish es, or temporarily closes, it's busi- ness.

 No one versed either in politics or publicity was surprised when it developed that MT. Roosevelt pro- posed to confine his speeches to more or less philosophical discus sions of past historic events, and leave the event at Cleveland for fu- ture reference.
 LEHMAN ACTION UNCERTAIN
 Much manifestly futile specula- tion likewise is being expended on the question whether the President, or anyone else, will insist that Governor Lehman of New York reverse his decisions and run for reelection.
 If the draft is exercised on MT. Lehman, it will not be done for some time. It would be the worst politics in the world for the Gov

PADDOCK'S TURF GOSSIP

Trainer Bill Norton, who handles
the large string OF thoroughbreds
for Mrs. John Hay Whitney of
Virginia stated this morning:
Singing Wood will take a
world of beating if the track
remains heavy, in the 100000
Santa Anita on Saturday.
"The colt, q superior soft
track horse, has been assigned
only 1O9 pounds in the classic,
and / doubt very much If his
opponents can cOncede him
great chunks of weight over
such a track"
While horSemen at Santa Anita
are of the opinion that Singing
Wood is not a natural slayer" they
believe that with his great early
speed, and his fondness for the
heavy course. he may take long
lead and make it difficult for the
others to overtake him.
The son of Royal Minstrel and
Glade will be ridden by the
money" rider, Bobby Jones. who
rode the colt when he won the
Belmont Futurity, several years
ago, over heavy track.
Jockey Bobby Wat tson. who
led the riders at Tropical Park
departed for his home at Toron

cred with foot trouble on several

ment by a specialist. He hopes
to resume riding for the opening

Those race.horse feuds: What"
writes Charles Cohen, major domo

Salvador and Tenny?" AS Charlie
points out, those two gladiators
of American racing in 1890 met
four times, and never once could
Tenny put his muzzle ahead of
Salvator'S-at the winning post.
Yet the owner and jockey Of
Tenny went to their Maker firmly

last season between MyrtleWood
