sumed his duties at the war depart

experience the secretary has had to
deal with more newspaper nen than
he saw Tuesday. They were mainly
desirous to learn just what the secre.
tary Intended to do in answer to the
challenge which Senator Foraker is
sued In regard to the contest in Ohio
The secretary however, said that
he was under the disadvantage OF a
considerable absence from the coun-
try with only scant news of the i'm.
portant political events that had oc-
Cured. He did not feel that 1t was
proper for him to make any statement
as to his political plans. One point de.
veloped in the course of the talk
might be regarded as significant in
view of the fact that 1t has been re.
ported he had intended to cancel his
Philippine trip in order to go on the
stump In Ohio.
Replying to the direct inquiry the
secretary stated his intention to sail
for the Philippines about September /.
This statement was made after the
secretary had spent nearly two hours
in close conference with the president.
After attending his first cabinet meet
ing in many weeks, Secretary Taft
was invited by the president to re-
main at the White House for luncheon
and that time was spent in discus
sion not only of the secretary's obser
vations on his southern trip, but also
of the political developments here in
his absence and of his policies to be
pursued in the future.
After the luncheon the secretary
reiterated his statement that he in
tended to go to Ohio next Friday and
would make three speeches, one al
Cincinnati, at the meeting OF the
Western Federation of Yale Clubs.
one at Dayton, at the cornerstone lay
ing of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation, and another at Cincinnati
before the Business Mems club. But,
the secretary added that mono of these
speeches would be in any sense politi.
cal. Later in the summer he expects
to go to Iowa and to Minnesota to ad-
dress the state universities. He may
also go to Oklahoma. He has been
told that bitter political fight is to
be waged there.
