Dix W. Smith provides a tentative schedule for Theodore Roosevelt’s upcoming visit to Reno. First, Roosevelt will speak at the state university and then in the evening give a public address about “civic righteousness.” There will be time in between for other addresses and meetings with politicians. Smith adds that he thinks that the university would be more prominent by now if laws about gambling and divorce did not make fathers reluctant to send their sons there. On a personal note, Smith says he is interested in organized labor and is asking for some of the best labor representatives to be on Roosevelt’s welcoming committee.
