Washington Many Towns
Will Hear Nominee.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe

national committeeman, has been con
ferring with railroad officials and
working out details of a plan to
hurry Franklin D. Roosevelt, candi
date for vice-president, across the
state and deliver him at Portland all
within 4S hours a Spokane democratic
committee has worked out a sixpday
itinerary, for Roosevelt.
State leaders Wednesday were
thrown into the air by the rival
schedules which nobody seemed to be
able to explain. Among officials of
the state committee, however, it is
figured that the Titlow plan will
likely be adopted, inasmuch as Tit
low represents the national commit
tee, under whose direction the Roose
velt tour is being arranged.
It is planned by Titlow to eliminate
the proposed trip to Bellingham and
the speeches in that city. Mount Ver
non and Everett. On the east side
the trip to Walla Walla would be cut
so Roosevelt would have more time to
devote to rear platform talks after
leaving bpokane.
The east side democrats have out.
lined an itinerary that would oblige
Roosevelt to talk his way into Walla
Walla by way of Pasco, then Jump
back and begin speaking again at
ICennewick as he worked on toward a
night meeting at F.llensburg. This
plan would call for three night
speeches on the rest side, while in
western Washington ne would b
take to Bellingham and Grays Har
bor as well as speaking in Seattle and
Tacoma.
