TAFT WILL VISIT OHIO
President viii Try to Smooth Out
fractional Differences In Party.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 13.-President
Taft will visit Ohio, his home state,
before returning to Washington. He
well spend four days in Cincinnati at
the home of his brother, C. p. Taft.
The president will see the Republi-
can leaders in Ohio and probably do
something with view to improving
the situation Of his party in his home
state
The pre-convention fight left strong
factional feeling among the Republi-
cans and this added to the spirit of in
surgency and the strength of Cover
nor Harmon presents 2 situation that
Is causing the presidents advisers a
good deal of trouble.
1t is likely that Mr.. Taft will make
nm effort at least to smooth out the
ractional differences in the party.
The president will leave Beverly
next Sunday night. He will stop off
al New Haven on Monday to attend a
meeting of the Yale university corpor-
alton and will arrive in Cincinnati on
the goth. From the Ohio city he will
go direct to Washington to attend A
three days cabinet meeting. After
the cabinet meeting he will leave
again for Beverly, stopping one night
In New York city to speak before tho
National League Of Republican clubs.
1t is doubtful now if the president
will make a trip to Panama this fall.
He had planned tentatively to leave
for the Isthmus on November Sth, re-
turning TO Washington shortly before
congress re-convenes.
Senator Murray Crane, of Massa'

political advisers are credited with
having urged him to give up this trip

that he had felled to gather store of
honey.
Dolin also was terribly stung by the
cnraged bees, and, had it not been for
the sagacity Of his canine companion.
there is little doubt that he would
have perished, as his family did not
know in which direction he went
when he left home.
