first visit to the city; in lW he was here
t til clo.ie of a most strenuous campaign
tour of the west, and especially of Ne

aa now, and which obsevved "the second
battle" by giving to McKlnley and Roose
velt a handsome majority of the popular
vote and the vote of the state In the elec

ful Impression on the people of Nebraska
by his personality, his disregard of certain
conventions and his originality as well as
bis forcoln expressing his sentiments.

the route Is not so short, after nil.' Take

way out to Pueblo, which tepresenU

Sioux Falls, thence to Fariro, which la th
northwestern extremity of the tour. Then
from Fargo bark to New Tork by way
of St. Paul and Milwaukee. Figure on
the number of miles this route represent!!

of greater proportions than seems an-
