 aot springs, Va. July 2i.--President nooseyelt Is to review in advance the speech judge Taft will deliver in Gin cinnati next Tuesday. nave decided to make this speech wnat may be my most important ut- n nrnnee of the campaign. I have the nignest regard for the Presidents Judgment regarding the sunisets to bs dealt with and q keen Depreciation of nis wonderful ability for forcefuI ex- presslon. want his judgment and his criticism. and this cannot be- safisfae- torily obtained at long range. so have decided to so to Oyster Bay
 This statement, made today by Mir. Taft. indicated his viewpoint regard : ing the announcement of his intended trip which he says is to be taken on hts own and not the Presidents initia- tive. He will leave here with Mir Car penter. his secretary, tomorrow night. He will leave New York for cincin- natl Friday afternoon. This he says will give him two days there before notification ceremonies are on him. Should Mrs. Taft decide to be with her husband Tuesday she will go to cin- einnatt direct from here.
 MT. Taft said today that the first intention to have the utterance only a simple mad formal acknowledgment of the notification had been finally aban- doned In view of the growing import ance of number of subjects which seemed to crowd themselves forward for consideration.
 The speech will doubtless contain ap- proximately l2,000 words.
 Pressure for one, grand rally of vir- ginia Republicans to be held here be- fore Mr. Taft quits the place in Sap- tember for the activities of the cam- paign. was applied anew today by a delegation of leading Republicans from many sections of the state. headed by District, who is also chairman of the Republican State Executive Commit tee. Judge Taft looks with some fa- vor on the rally and will, upon his re- turn from Cincinnati. consider fixing a date in August for its occurrence.
 He coincided with the view express cd by the delegation that good politics dictated that an active campaign be made not only in the Old Dominion, but aiso In North carolina and Georgia. Mir. Taft received the following tell egram today from Chairman Hitchcock of the National Committee and declin- cd an elephant offered by W. W. Pow CTS. of Rhode Island:
 'Pike's Peak Summit. Col, July 2i. "Hon wm Fl. Taft. Hot Springs, Va:
 Republican leaders from every State west of Missouri River join with me Tn sending you greetings from top of Pike's Peak. We are on top now, and expect to be on top when the returns come in next election.
 Prank H. Hitchcock"
 "Riverside, R. l., July 2i. Hon Wn1. Fl. Taft, Hot Springs, Va:
 would you accept free one of Pow CTS hippodrome elephants as the Re- publican Party emblem and mascot ip fall campaign?
 ''You may remember seeing them at Cumberland, Md. Please wire reply nay expense to me Providence. R. l., care Crescent Park.
 The answer was:
 T am very much obliged to you for your generous offer, but I am afraid your elephant. were to accept 1t, would be an elephant. indeed. You are very much better able to take care of him than I. and hope that wher. ever he is, he will constitute mascot both for you and for me.
 "w H. Taft"
