PRESIDENT MAY TAKE STUMP
Secretary Loeb Says His Chief Has
No Engagements at Present.

Westinghouse two persons seem to
be able to agree whether President
Roosevelt will take the stump for Judge
Taft. Not even Secretary Loeb could
throw any light today upon this issue.
He admitted that it was possible the
condition of things might demand that
such a step be taken. just now the
secretary said, the presidents intention
is to remain in Washington.
As to Mr.. Bryan's last letter the
president regarded as so much in the
nature of a personal attack" upon him
that there was no reason why he should
answer it.
Secretary Loeb today made the state
ment that President Roosevelt had no
intention at present Of making a speak
ing tour in behalf of the Republican
candidate for the presidency. Many in
vitations had been received by the presi-
dent, Mr.. Loeb said, but MIR. Roosevelt
never has stated that he would take the
stump.
When asked whether if the situation
took such IA turn that the president
might consider that making a speaking
tour would materially aid the Republi-
can cause, the president in that event
would take the stump, Mr.. Loeb re-
piled that he might or might not do
so, and added that no one could tell
what the future would bring forth.

BIG DAY AT TRl-STATE FAIR
Exhibits in Place and Amusements
Open-Increased Attendance.

Memphis, Tenn.-Attendance at the
Tri-State Fair yesterday eclipsed any of
it's predecessors, and while there were
thousands of people present from almost
everywhere. country people predomI-
mated. 1t was Farmers Union Day, OF
ficially, and many families were present
from hill and mead and from farm and
village.
And the crowd WAS not only larger,
but it appeared to have more of the
carnival spirit than did the crowds on
other days. All the exhibit halls were
beautiful to behold and the Triangle
and Booth Row were alive with all sorts
of things calculated to amuse the pcO-
pie.
The event of the forenoon, perhaps, 50
far as the serious side of the fair was
concerned, vas the parade of high grade
beef and show cattle that had arrived
at the fair grounds from the North the
night before. There are three carloads
of these cattle. and they are said to all
lie blue ribbon winners at the respective
State fairs of Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana and Tennessee.
Tri-State Fair officials are highly
clated that they succeeded in getting
this exhibit this year. The grade and
value OF cattle brought here from the
leading cattle producing States o. the
whole country, it is thought, will be an
incentive to the people of the Tri-States
to improve their herds, and therefore
be Of vast material benefit to the people
of the South. The first exhibition Of
these cattle was made when the fair
was largely attended by farmers, and
many words Of admiration were heard,
