Mr. Bryan would enjoy the s trip, and he could point out the 'Mgh i spots in the west which he thas ranged ] so widely.

Of course if a the president goes to the exposition ?

One of the most successful )f "swings around the circle" was the rip made by President Benjamin Har ison during 'his incumbency. He was cnown as a silent and a rather cold nan, and it was not thought he would nake a good political orator, yet he oiled off a series of delightful little iddresses at stations where his train itopped, that quite captivated the :ountry, though not sufficiently so to dect 'bim to a second term in the white :ouse. Mr. Wilson is a f:appy speaker, and ias proived his ability to charm audi nces of all sorts and conditions. In lis preliminary campaign for the presdency he made a very successful tour >f the west and made some good peeches.
