 Accompanied by Governor Draper, the President took the long automobile drive through the country in which his ancestors dwelt, seeing the site of the old Robert Taft home and greeting several score. of the descen- dants of the stock. At Mendon he tarried long enough to name two weeks old baby, the son of MT. and Mrs Clarence Taft.
 "IIl name him Robert" the Presl- dent said ''and | hope he will grow up and be a comfort to his mother and father"
 Robert Taft with his six sons set tied near Mendon in 1863 and from him the President descended
 Most interesting to the Executive, however, was the stop made at the home of Miss Sarah Taft, a direct des- cendant of Samuel Taft who conduct ed a tavern back in 1778. The Exc cutive was shown a room in which President Washington slept

 In today's edition of the New Ha- ven Journal-Courier there apeDared a story to the effect that friends of MT.

 The New Haven paper says among other things:
 ''The announcement of MT Hills de- termination to go into the fight com plicates the situation for the republi- cans in Fairfield county in view of the fact that Matthew H. Rogers of Bridgeport. which is MT. Hills town. is again candidate for secretary of state over there. and it is alleged among the political sharps that the Park City cannot have two offices on one ticket. Both Rogers and Hill are members of the same wing of the re- publican party in Bridgeport and the announcement of this candidacy has created much stir among republican politicians all over the state''

 Lincoln. Aug 19-Senator Bailey s domination of the state convention and the adoption of the platform which William J. Bryan says declares for protection are severely criticised in this weeks issue of Bryan's newspaper which says:
 Tt remains to be seen how many of the Texas Democrats really favor protection are severely criticised in they will do so long for they will not only find themselves out of harmony with the Democracy of the nation but they will find that those Democrats who try to carry out the Texas doc Urine will be kept so busy trying to retain protection for a few sheep rais- CTS and lumbermen that they will not have time to do any work in behalf of reduction on manufactured pro- ducts.
 ''It is unfortunate for the party that just as the insurgents are entering upon a fight against Aldrichism in the Republican party an attempt should be made to commit the Democratic party to the doctrine of proection.''
