Taft will leave here tomorrow morn
! ing for the activities of his campaign.
He has written the republican nation
! al committee to arrange for him a
| speaking itinerary and has suggested
| that the states of Missouri. Nebraska.
Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and
| New York be included in any tour
that may be decided on. Mr.. Taft has
also expressed the view that his stay
in Cincinnati might be terminated as
early as September 21 thus permitting
the extension of his services in the
general political field to period of
nearly six weeks and make possible
| a trip from coast to coast 4
The request of the candidate to Ne
fassigned speaking dates, coming as it
does directly upon the visit here yes
terday of National Chairman Hitch
cock and his desire to hasten the time
when he is to take to the road is re-
garded as showing his fixed deter
minatiOn to be personally in the fight
wherever it may be the thickest and
also his determination that no doubt
shall exist as to his attitude.
II can't conceive of anything more
| depressing than to be denied partici-
patton in an active campaign. or to be
kept quietly in one place, depending
upon necessarily fragmentary reports
as to what is going on and as to what
conditions are"
This was the recent summing up by
Judge Taft of his personal feelings in
| the situation The Taft party will
leave here at 10 O'clock tomorrow on
Commander Richardson's yacht Jessa
mine for Port Clinton, the nearest
| shore port. There automobiles will
be taken for a sixteen mile drive to
Spiegle grove near Fremont. there to
be entertained at luncheon at the
Hayes homestead, as the guests of
! Colonel and Mrs. Webb Hayes. San
/ dusky will be reached by trolley be-
| fore dark. where they will go to the
| home of Edward Marsh for the night.
| t'Pne trip 'td Cincinnati. Which begins
| Tuesday afternoon will be punctuate6
I with at least ten speeches from the
| rear platform of the train. Before
| leaving Sandusky Mr.. Taft will ad-
dress the old soldiers and make a po-
! litical speech at the local theater.
| When Tiftin is reached at 1850 o'clock
another speech will be delivered and
| then on down through the state in
| Guiding the towns of Carri Wharton,
Slrorest, Bellefontaine. Urbana, Spring
| field and Dayton. These speeches will
necessarily be short as the Taft car
will be attached to the regular train
on the Big Four and no changes in the
running time of the trains have been
arranged for. Mr.. Taft has not pre-
pared the remarks he Is to deliver on
| the trip and will in each instance
speak extemporaneously. He will ham
| die different topics of the campaign
| i'm different speeches.

center. The idea has been promul-
gated that union labor is against the
republican ticket and we wanted "a
show the falslty OF these statements
More than 1900 mechanics were in
line in the Youngstown parade to re-
ply TO the charge, being more than
three fourths of all the mechanics IN
that great industrial center"
