(By United Press.)
Cairo, Ills., Oct. 3? The Presidential
party arrived here this morning and
the crowds from the country taxed the
city heavily. This aiternoon President
Roosevelt made an address at Renwalds
Park to 25,000 people. In his speech
the Preadent said that in his coming
message to congress he would recom
mend ? larger navy. The present one,
he continued, was all right for a small
nation, but the United States has as -
sumed the position of the foremost
power of the world today, and it was
necessary that for its defense battle
ships must hereafter be built larger
and the number greatly increased.
The fleets, of which there should be
two, must bo so managed hereafier that
they may yearly be switched from one
coast to tho other in the manner of the
coming: of the Atlantic squadron in
December.
