Mr.. Thomas II making a tour Of the East
ern States ia an automobile, and since
leaving home, during the last few days Of
June, has Travelled nearly 1900 miles.
From Washington the Thomases go TO the
jamestown Exposition, through West Vir-
ginia. and several Of the other Southern
States.
with the exception OF those who have
enjoyed the privilege Of travelling over the
country by way Of the automobile there
is no one who can appreciate the great
benefit and the enormous amount Of
knowledge gained by going from one
place to another by means OF a vehicle"
Mr.. Thomas said last night.
For instance, while travelling by ma
chine one passes through one part OF a
State, New York. for instance, where
nothing but beans are grown. Here every
one is entirely devoted 10 the bean indus
try during the summer months During
the winter the denizens simply rest in
peace and dream OF the summer and the
profits to be derived from their crops OF
beans, or whatever the product may be.
Going on and on you may strike parts
Of the country where nothing but grapes
are being cultivated. Here everybody is
interested in the vineyard business. and
nothing else. Next come the farmers and
their assistants, who indulge in the
chicken business. Just few days ago We
passed a part Of the country where the
people raised absolutely nothing but t1r-
keys. For miles and miles we could see
only turkeys. and then we ran into lot
Of people who seemed 10 be doing nothing
but waiting for the coming OF Thanksgiv-
ing Day"

in case he should decline the nomination.
Secretary Taft will be the favorite Of the
Michiganders. Roosevelt Is the biggest
man who has ever had his name before
the people Of Michigan. The people Of my
State are in favor OF Mr.. Roosevelt taking
the third nomination. They believe that
he Is the man who has done more in tho
way Of eliminating trusts than any other
Executive. and this being their policy. the
majority Of our citizens are Roosevelt
men from come 10 go.
Should the President refuse the third
/ term compliment our voters, Of course,
could not complain. But they would re-
grct his actions exceedingly, and they
will do everything in their power 70 in
duce him 10 accept another nomination
/ for the Presidency. II the movements Of
the President and the politicians are other
wise. Michigan. think. is for Taft, last
and all the time Michigan in that case
may be put down on the map as Taft
