which he had spoken as a pleasing ex-
p"rience. With reference to that tour
hs would only say he thought it would
open the way for improved Republican
co~"itions in future campaigns. Judge
Taft expressed a delicacy in revealing
the issues which he and the president
had discussed. and when pressed for a
statement as to the president view
of the situation, he would only say
that "the president is not a pessis-
mist"
"Nor am L" he added. While not es-
pecially arranged for that purpose, the
secretary found his stop here a con.
venient opportunity for consultation
with the president, his especial cham
pion and chief adviser, and both were
pleased with the argument and
made the most of it. They spent tho

concerning their conversation was Civ

formal way they discussed most of the
subjects that have come to the front
since the campaign opened, and the
president offered suggestions on minor
points which the secretary will adopt.

president to take advantage of the oc-

luncheon and dinner, but he was taken
into the White house as if it were his
own home and in addition, Mr.. Roose
Welt remained away from his own
church, in order to accompany Mr.. Taft
to his church. He also took stroll
with him after the service, and then
crowned the day by asking in a number
of political and personal friends to
meet the secretary and go over the
situation.

not disturbed for Ave hours afterwards
He dressed, had his throat sprayed
and taking an automobile, proceeded
alone to the White house where at

Roosevelt.
There were comparatively few per
sons at the station when Mr.. Tai

who were there greeted him witt
cheers. It was almost two hours afte
breakfast before Mr.. Taft and the pres
