Washington, Oct. 19. - Before leaving Washington early to-day Judge Taft discussed the future de- mands of the campaign with interest saying that while the programme mapped outf or him was extensive he hoped to be able to complete the work by conserving his voice as well as he might. His itinerary for to- day covers New Jersey and Della ware, ending with a big meeting in Baltimore tonight at which Secre- tary Garfield will preside. During the day he will speak rat Newark, Trenton, Wilmington, with probably shorter addresses at several smaller day will be devoted to Maryland and West Virginia, beginning with a speech in the early morning at Cum berland in Western Maryland and closing the days work with speech at Parkersburg, w. Va, sat night. Tuesday night MT Taft will spend in travelling to his home in Cincinnati, where Wednesday will Gvbe given to complete relaxation. Thel ast three days of the week will be devoted to. whirlwind dash through Indiana in company with Vive-president Fair banks, Senator Beveridge and other leading Indiana republicans. The last week of the campaign will be given to New York and the last. speeches will be made at Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio, on MT Tafts way home the day before election.

Secretary Shaw has been onl the train for several days but left 1t here.
 During the four weeks of the tour already apsed MT Taft has made 251 speeches.
 Connecticut has been eliminated from Judge Taft's campaign itiner- ary. In reply to question the can didate himself made. the statementl to large group of newspaper menl that he would not campaign in Newl England at all.
 The explanation given for theI change of plans is that Mir Taft'sj voice cannot stand the strain of ad- dressing large crowds many times al day. He would have to do this if he spent October 26 in Connecticut as has been expected for several weeksl past.
 Of course. it is expected that MrI Taft's many Connecticut friends will be disappointed, but he regrets that he cannot do otherwise than cancel his dates in that state under the ex-
