Washington. Nov. 11.-At S:35
wednesday night President Taft
completed his first long tour of the
H3nAted States as president. So far as
Mr. Taft is concerned he is satisfied
with the result of his trip. He has
come into contact with the people OF
the Middle and Far West and, while
some of his receptions have been of a
Mther unfriendly character, he has
HSen able to present his views to the
people.
The Taft tour has carried the pres
1dent over 12,755 miles by rail and
water and over 600 miles by auto
and practically 500 by stage or horse
drawn vehicle. 1t has cost the United
States $4,000, which will come out OF
the fund appropriated by congress for
his travelling expenses. The president
has made upward of 300 speeches from
platforms, rear vestibules of his car
and open air.
Entertainments Cost 100000.
The cost to the various localities
that have entertained" him is very
large. A conservative estimate is
$3.O00.o0O. For the little entertain

guest of the president of Mexico fol
