had made his trip through the West

This trip" Mr.. Tawney said,

Congress was in session when delega-

make tins trip.
At that time, Mr.. Fawney said,

Washington, Special.-tsIn all my

Hospitality Of many sections and
countries of the world, I had a
more cordial, generous or open and
lavish welcome than / had in the
Southern States during my trip, and
the slightest hint that puts me in the
attitude Of q critic Of that hospitality
gives me great PAIN.
This in part is the manner In
which President Taft Friday In 9
letter to Chairman Tawney of the
House committee on appropriations
deeply resented criticisms passed by
Democrats In the debate in the House
Thursday upon the travelling expenses
of the President.
The President says he is especially
distressed by suggested reflection on
