Hot Springs, w. Va, Aug 2O.--"Af-
ter the first week of any speaking
campaign has been gone through with
and one finds himself. as 1t were. talk
ing without difficulty on all of the
various subjects OF discussion, do not
think there is anything more enjoy
able than making at least one speech
n day"
This utterance by Judge W. H. Taft
today presents his attitude toward
campaigning. He added that in the
1904 campaign he made speeches dur
ing a six weeks tour of New York
and New England and II enjoyed ev-

When asked II 1t were not n possib-
ility that change might be decided
upon in the announcement that he
would not leave Cincinnati during the
campaign. Mr. Taft replied:
"Of course there Is nothing To pre-
vent change Of these plans"
Mr.. Taft admitted that perhaps the
strong reason for the official an
nouncement that he should remain in
his native city was TO forestal the
deluge of applications for his presence
In various parts of the country but
these applications are coming just the

the common pleas court at Cincinnati,
president in 1896 Of the national
league of republican clubs and a cou-

an arrival today and gave out an in
terview regarding the decision of the
Ohio state committee not to invite
Senator Foraker to speak at the
opening of the national campaign at
Youngstown, September 6, in which he
said;

had many campaign openings In Ohio
without our senator taking part, 1t can
at once be understood that very inn

commerce speech, delivered in Cincin-
