Wilson came to Dallas." Editorially, the Dallas Morning News
predicted that Dr. Wilson would "doubtless speak to an audience
that will be limited only by the size of the building in which he is
to speak."" The day of Wilson's arrival the same paper reported:
Only a State convention could have drawn more politicians to
Dallas than were in evidence yesterday, to be largely increased by
today's morning trains. They simply swarmed in the hotel lobbies
and really spared little time for the Fair. While numbers of them
came for today's Woodrow Wilson program, they talked Texas poli-
tics from every angle, and were apparently afraid to get very far
away from their hotels for fear something might be said in their
absence.'7
At 5:35 o'clock on October 26 Dr. Woodrow Wilson, accom-
panied by his secretary, Walter Measday, and Edward S. Under-
hill, correspondent for the Newark News, boarded the train in
Madison, Wisconsin.'8 Delegations from Muskogee and other
Oklahoma towns joined the Wilson train, and Andrew Randall,
son of Congressman Choice Boswell Randell, boarded the Mis-
souri-Kansas-Texas at Parsons, Kansas.19 The party arrived in
Dallas at 9: 10o o'clock on the morning of October 28, and as Gov-
ernor Wilson stepped from the rail car, he was met by Gov-
ernor Oscar Branch Colquitt, followed by Senator Charles Allen
Culberson " ... and if anybody else got ahead of Patrick O'Keefe-
who was throwing up his hat and doing his best to give the Prince-
ton yell-it wasn't apparent."20
The Relk and Harris Band played as Wilson greeted his recep-
tion committee, and the Princeton men gave "their college yell."
