CLAY EN- ROUTE WEST, Sept. %
GN.SD Rolling through Illinois
and Iowa, President Roosevelt
remained in the seclusion Of his
private car today and prepared for
his rapid-fire invasion Of the
Northwest, which he hopes will
prove that the voters of that Sec
ton still are standing behind his
Administration.
On this first leg of his journey
to the West Coast, Mr.. Roosevelt
was holding his fire. He did not
plan to start making rear plat
form appearances until he reached
Cheyenne tomorrow morning.

the train into Omaha shortly be-
fore II p. m. for a 15-minute stop.

utive to say a few words if any
crowd was on hand.

of Senator Edward r. Burke, a
leading opponent of the Admins
tration's defeated Supreme Court

as any of last years presidential
campaign trips.
