(AP) – The Kansas Democratic Party’s chairwoman says President Barack Obama plans to give a speech Tuesday in Osawatomie.

State Chairwoman Joan Wagnon said she was notified Friday of the president’s visit by the Democratic National Committee.

Wagnon said she had no further details, other than the event is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday.

Osawatomie was the site of the 1910 “New Nationalism” speech by President Theodore Roosevelt hailing government’s role in promoting social justice and protecting the welfare of the poor and underprivileged.

Kansas is a Republican stronghold, having voted for every GOP nominee for president since 1964, including Obama’s opponent in the 2008 election, Arizona Sen. John McCain. But Obama’s 42% of the vote was the best showing by any Democratic nominee in 20 years.
