Equally as colorful as the immense throng that waved its greeting to the president and voiced a now husky yell of welcome were the stars and stripes that graced the buildings all along the route. Stirred by the soft breeze they also rippled their welcome to the nation’s chief who represented a country that was blended in their starry field and broad bars. ” President Waves Greeting. son swooped down from a high alti- tude until it was thought that he was about to hit the buildings and then gracefully turned his biplane’s nose upwords, made another circle and dipped as he crossed directly over the presiednt’s machine and flew to his field at Fort Lincoln. As the procession passed one street and started on another, the crowd rushed to the next thoroughfare thru which the president was to pass and added to the din that greeted almost every foot of the parade. Barrages of cheers followed each other in rapid succession and the president was smiling with hearty appreciation of the tremendous welcome.

As the parade- slowly wormed its way thru the dense mass of humanity, a roar followed in the wake of the president's car. Like a huge wave, onward it swept, gathering in volume. It was a roar that could only eman- uate from the throats of deeplystir- red peoples. It was a roar, probably, that could only be voiced by sturdy, 100 percent Americans doing homage to their beloved chieftain. “ertaps President Wilson in hi’ travels at home and abroad has heard louder applause, has seen larger crowds, has been welcomed in a more pretentious manner, but never before was a reception tendered him more whole-hearted. more sincere, more respectfully emotional. For that wel- come, voiced as his automobile thread- ed the business section, was genuine- ly American, a welcome that assayed 100 percent pure, unadulterated af- fection for a great man, a brilliant Finally swinging into Broauway on its way to the Auditorium it seemed as if everybody in North Dakota had gathered on that thoroughfare to watch the president ride by. If the crowds at first were large, they were dense on Broadway as the procession passed on its way to the auditorium. Without the aid of a shoe horn, a tremendous lever and some yet un- discavered mechanical appliance, not another person could have been jam- med along the streets sidewalks lin- ing ‘Broadway. People Good Natured With all of its greatness, it was a good natured crowd, a typical happy, carefree, merry-making American crowd. True there was some pushing and some squeezing, but it was caused ‘by those whose positions were less favorable than those in front, and the latter understood. humanity. Perched on trees where they could overlook the proceedings leader, a compatriot and a man’s man., In the court house park, the Jawn was covered with an eager jam of with dignified scorn young boys and a few older “young boys” ‘bandied words with the crowd below. Peering out of windows all along the route, the more fortunate were able to wit- ness the procession without the dis- comforts of the dense masses below. Protected by a cordon of American Legion members, the president found a narrow passageway into the Audi- torium, where he was to deliver the speech that anxious millions all over the world will read tonight and to- morrow. Already the limited capacity of the gaily decorated hall was crowded, every scat filled and many standing in the aisles and in the rear of th ebuilding. Outside Auditorium Outside the crowd was immense. At intervals the applause of those lucky enough to gain admittance to the Auditorium drifted outside and the people outside speculated on what particular point the president had raised to stir his hearers to such plaudits. Quickly the minutes flew by and then word was flashed that Pres- ident Wilson had finished his speech and was preparing to leave the build- ing with his personal party for a al ride around the city, out to the Country club and thence back to his waiting train which was ready to carry him to Billings, Mont., his next stop. All along the route of the rapid drive, thousands cheered and waved grectings to the president and his party and they were rewarded with a smile, a doffed hat, or the wave of a hand. It was plainly evident that the crowd had won its way into Pres- ident Wilson’s heart that he knew he had touched his fellow men who lined the curb with a deepness that would make a lasting impression. And so the visit of the president was brought £0 a close. “It has been an inspiration to me,” said one farmer from the northwestern part of the state. “The president is wonderful and the sound of those cheers, the sight of those waved greetings and the pres- ident’s happy acknowledgments of the plaudits will be memories ever bright to me. I may differ with him politi- cally, but this visit has been an in- spiration to me.” OCCUPANTS OF AUTOES The line of automobiles was led by a car driven by Major Frayne Baker con- taining President and Mrs. Wilson which was immediately followed by a machine filled with secret service men, the president’s personal body guard.

Autos Trek To Bismarck, Starting with the break of dawn, automobiles began arriving in the city from points all over North Dakota. The roads all seemed to lead to iBs- marck this morning and the highways were well filled with passenger cars loaded with people, food, blankets and other evidences of comfort. ‘Many of the autoists had evident- ly camped out en route to the city to celebrate Wilson Day and soon the residential streets of the city were packed with machines, lined one be- hind the other until they looked like huge serpents sunning themselves. Promptly at 9 o’clock, the street de- partment started erecting. barricades at the intersection of streets leading to the line of march. The area in- closed in tis district Was cleared of cars and the pavements given a final cleaning preparatory to the parade. Besides the thousands that came to the city by automobile. hundreds more arrived in the special and regu- lar trains that reached the city in time for the parade and celebration. Special Trains More than 700 passengers came in the spécial- train over the Soo rail- road from Minot and 500 arrived on the special train over that road from Oakes, The enterprising citizens of Halliday ran a special train to Bis- marck to see the president and take part in the city’s festivities and the regular trains brought in additional visitors all day long. The holdiay spirit was shown early in the morning. Merchants working with feverish haste gaily decorated their stores’ fronts with flags and bunting, waiting until. the last min- ute so that the elements would not spoil the effects.
