When Mr. Wilson came out on the
platform, attired In a very correct
morning coat, thore was no applause
but a chorus of "Qood morning, Mr.
Wilson," "How do you do, r" and
"Olad to ace you, Mr. Wilson."
The President was kept busy shak
ing hands for about five minutes,
leaning far over the rolling to grasp
the fingers ot the little boys. Ho had
a word for everybody, at least a
"good morning" or "vnry glad to see
you." When one woman wished him
luck he paused In his handshaking
long enough to reply gravely, "Thank
you, madam, I sincerely appreciate
that."
When he Anally turned away, re
marking that ho had to get breakfast,,
there were many crlos of "good-bye"
