Meyer, had accompanied him from
Richmond, where Mr.. Taft made the

cheering him Justify.
Mr.. Taft did not waste time in join
ing Mrs Taft, who has been in i'll

his inspection, he did not go near them
but dashed up the steps of the White
House as soon as the footman opened
the door of the automobile. He shook
hands with both of the negro doormen
who grinned their welcome. The Pres
ident is in the pink of condition. 1t
is generally reported among his inti-
mates that he has gained several
pounds and that he is planning a
vigorous campaign at golf to reduce
his girth.
