MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton has roped in more than 1,000 people at a speech in a University of Wisconsin-Madison pavilion normally used for livestock education.

Clinton spoke at the Stock Pavilion on behalf of his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton. He is the second Clinton to visit Wisconsin this week, while his wife is instead focusing on later primaries in Texas and Ohio. She will be in the state starting Saturday.

Their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, was in the state earlier this week.

The pavilion where Clinton spoke has a rich history. Built in 1909, President Harry Truman spoke there during his re-election campaign in 1948.
