 FAIR.
Declares That He Was Georgian When He Was Elected President
 Aide Is Georgian.

Savannah, Ga.. Nov. 4.-President Taft travelled through central and southwestern Georgia this Indian summer afternoon. through woods rich in the warm red gold and brown of autumn.
 He spent the forenoon at Macon, where he declared he was glad to be back in Georgia again and felt thor oughly at home in the state whence he went to Washington last March to assume the oath of office.
 The president arrived at 7.45 D. m. and began his eighteen hours stay in the city with a nelaborate banquet at the Desoto Hotel Tomorrow the pres ident will be taken for a sail over the harbor, will have a spin around the famous automobile course over which the grand prize races were run last fall, and will have lunch at the Thun- derbolt Casino.
 Savannah is the farthest south the president will go and when he leaves here at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon he will return at lagt toward Wash ington, where he is due to arl Fe next Wednesday evening.
 Georgia has proved no exception to the other southern states President Taft has visited in extending to him a series of welcomes equal to those he has received in any section of the country.
 In Macon this morning it seemed as though the country form lies around has been depopulated to make up the thrcngs that gathered in that city. At every one of the numerous stops be- tween Macon and this city there were large depot gatherings to gree the president and cheer the few words he had nopportunity to utter before the train moved Here tonight the presi- dent was met by another great crowd During his stay in Savannah Mir Taft is the guest of General William w. Gordon an cid family friend.
 Governor Joseph NJ Brown met the president at Macon and made the trip with him to this city. Representative Bartlett also came with the president along with a committee rf citizens from this city who went to extend Savannah's welcome. The president breakfasted this morning at the Bart lett home in Macon, partaking of a spread prepared under the direction caused the president to declare that of Mrs. Bartlett herself, and compris- ing list of southern delicacies that if all well to do Georgia people break fasted like that. he wondered that such good old institutions as dinner and supper had any vogue in this sec tion.
 Mir Taft withstood the temptation. however, of mint julep that had been brewed with consummate skill and which reposed apparently harmless in green topped glass that had perfect barnacles on the outside. He took the julep in his hand for a moment, but that was as far as he got. Waf- fies, quail, fried chicken, sausage, steak broiled ham, broiled chicken and "grits" were part of the break fast set before the president. Captain Archie" Butt, the presi- dents aide, an old Georgia boy, was on his native heath today. and happy as could be. He has been travelling more than eleven thousand miles to reach here with the president.
 He enthusiastically asked MT. Taft toda yif he did not think it was well worth the journey to be in Georgia at last. The president graciously agreed and in his speech at the state fair grounds in Macon, referred to the fate that he knew Georgia people were all right, for he had one for an aide.
 The Macon fair ground speech was Mir Taft's principal utterance of the day, and in 1t he sought to define more exactly than he has in the past the limitations that are placed upon the executive and the responsibility that should rest upon congress.
 The president also took occasion to state the belief that the best way to accomplish reforms was not in the disregard by the executive of the linn itations that stand in their way. He said
 T nm glad 10 he hack in Georgia wa 3 Georgian when was elected president Of the United States. They
