'crowds that gather about the Presi
dent's private car and is sharing
! equally with the president the plau
'dits of the throngs. She wears a
simple gown of black voille over
nyhlte. Her every appearance has
caused a Dig demonstration. For the
most part, however, she prefers to
stand by and let her husband do the
talking and receive the brunt of the
noise. On one occasion she was
greeted by someone In the crowd
with the words: "You look mighty
good to 11 h. Mrs. Wilson!" It took
her some time to recover from the
tribute. The entire executive com
mittee in cheered to a high pitch of
enthusiasm by the demonstrations
accorded Mr. WilBon along the way
yesterday and today. Political aides
on the train feel that Ohio and In
diana will swing into the Democratic
column with a bang.
The train arrived at Ohaba at
11:40 this morning. At two o'clock
Mr. Wilson will ride at the head of
a great historical pageant. The
principal aadress will be delivered
tonight at the auditorium.
