ed to be in robust health and said
z he had never felt betterin his life.
He declared that he was exceed
,ingly pleased with his Columbus
meeting and the crowd that turned
~out to listen to his speech. He
had nothing to add to that speech
and said in answer to questions
that it described his attitude exact
ly and that there was nothing
more that he could say.
Secretary Taft will spend the
greater part of today in Cincinnati
X He will deny himself to callers,
however; and put in the time pre-
pairing data for his Lexington
speech. He will leave for Lex
ington this afternoon. After leav-
ing Lexington he starts on his TRIP
for the West to begin his toul
around the world. He goes from
Lexington to Oklahoma, to Mis-
souri,. Denver Colorado Springs
Yellow Stone Park, Portland anC
Seattle. He sails for the Phil
ippine Islands on September 10.
How did the Columbus meet
ing suit you!" he was asked.
I'VE had fine meeting" wa
the reply. The crowd was "a
as eetAdCse desired, and every
thing passed off smoothly"
