When President Taft left his sum
mer home to tour the country, II was
understood that he had several mes
sages of importance, closely connect
ed with Administration policies TO
deliver to a waiting world. These poll
icies were not entirely the result of
personal opinions, as many states
men had visited Beverly during the
long summer months; and 1t Is rca-
sonable to suppose that the Presi-
dents Chicago utterances were the
result of conference and advice. What
the employers of the country ask is,
where did President Taft absorb the
knowledge which enabled him to
