peNerS, MHss., sept. 13.-Pfetident
Teft leaves Beverly tomorrow on his
second swing around the circle In the
opinion of many of his friends. tho trip
promises to be one OF the most I'm
portant ever undertaken by a chief
executive. He. himself. has said he
will indulge In but little political dig
cussion. but II is admitted that OPP
portunlty for such discussion probably
VIII be thrust upon him. That he will
accept the gage OF battle II some
'heckler' In his audiences throws at
the platform is hardly doubted.
That the presidents political fortunes
may depend on this journey is agreed
to by many close to the administration.
Two years ago tomorrow, the presi-
dent started from Beverly on his first
continental trip after entering the
White House. He had been six months
In office and the Payne Aldrich tariff
law had been five weeks on the statute
books. On that trip he delivered his
famous address at winona Mimi. In
defense of that law on which most OF
tariff policy has been based.
Two Subjects.
On the list for the present tourney
the president has set down "the tariff
and the tariff board" as two subjects
for his addresses. His vetoes OF the
wool bill. OF the cotton bill and Of the
farmers free-list bill. have not been
set aside for separate speeches. but
that they will be dealt with In the two
general addresses is highly proba BILE.
The tariff may prove. after all. the
leading topic, although that Is not the
presidents present plan. Other sub
jects include reciprocity conservation,
the peace treaties. marriage and d.
vorce, the trust problem. financial re-
form. the Panama canal, reform In ju-
dicial procedure. Alaska and the gov
ernment departments. The president
contemplates spending most of his
speaking hours In talking of the small
er political subjects
"The swing" beginning tomorrow
will be about 10000 miles in length
Twenty-four states will be visited, and
k.
Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa. Missouri
Montana. Idaho. California. Oregon,
Washington, South Dakota, Minnesota.
and Wisconsin. he Will spend many of
his busiest days These states are
labeled "insurgent" by those who keep
the political books
Now York, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
Illinois and Pennsylvania viii not be
sighted. but In those states the presI-
dent will not have to work so hard.
The same political bookkeepers credit
them to the progressive" wing of the
republican party. Michigan. which
has been called "Taft insurgent" will
get lot OF the presidents attention.
The Party.
The trip begins In Boston tomorrow
night Syracuse, N ", is the first
stop. Washington will see the windup
on November l. Secretary C. ID. Hiles,
Major A. w. Butt. DIR. Thomas l..
Rhodes. the presidents physician, two
stepographers, three secret service men
and nine newspaper reporters viii ac-
the president
The train will run as a special much
OF the time. It will consist of three
Pullman sleeping cars, dining ear,
baggage car and day coach The
president will do little more work pre-
pairing for the trip. Tomorrow will
be his fifty-fourth birthday and he
plans to spend the day quietly on the
golf links at Myopia and at Paramatta.
He will start for Boston by motor about
6 o'clock. Mrs. Taft probably will go
with him to Boston, but will return to
Beverly. She expects to remain In
Beverly through October.
On the eve Of the presidents depar-
ture, John Barrett director general Of
the Pan American union. who attended
the ground-breaking ceremonies of the
Panama exposition at San Diego and
Travelled up the Pacific coast. brought
him cheerful news today. Mr.. Barrett
told the president that the Pacific
coast was intensely interested IN his
visit; that It did not consider 1t po-
litical pilgrimage and that everywhere
he had stopped the people We're anxious
to see Mr.. Taft once more.
