TAFT TO VISIT
WESTERN STATES

but Officials Will Accompany
Him--To Break Ground
at Exposition.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Plans fol
President Taft's coming trlr
through the west to the Pacific coast
were practically completed today.
The journey will almost be as ex.
tensive as that taken by the presi.
dent on his famous Swing around
the circle" in 1909 when he trav,
eled more than 1900 miles anG
visited thirty-three states.
He will break ground for the Pan.
ANA canal exposition at San Fran
cisco, make several score of ad.
dresses. and scale the $4,000 feet oil
Mt. Lanier's preeipftous slope
According to the present arrange
ment the president will be gone six
weeks. In that time it is expected
he will make nearly two hundred
speeches from the platform from the
rear end of his private car and at
other places not on the regular
schedule.
To Visit "Progressives,"
Republican leaders look upon the
trip as one of the most important,
politically, that the president map
ped out since he entered the white
house. He will go through all the
states in the west in which they
recognize the domination of the pro-
gressive Republicans who are count
ed upon to oppose his denomination
next year.
The president probably will leave
Beverly Sept II, returning east
about Nov. l. He will go through
Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado
and Nevada to the coast.
Most of the big cities in these
states including Des Moines, Ia;
Kansas City, Kan; Omaha, Neb.;
Denver, Colo, and Salt Lake City,
Utah, will be visited But the plans
of the trip contemplate stops al
scores of smaller places as well.
Will Go North.
From California the president will
go north to Portland and Seattle.
Three days are to be spent in
Washington state and the route
eastward will allow him to stop in
Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas and
Minnesota 3
While no spell binders are to be
taken along, it is probable that
members of the cabinet or congress-
men will become travelling compan-
ions of the president at various
points en- route.
Topics for the presidents ad-
dresses will not be hard to find the
party leaders say.

"GO SOUTH, MY BOY, GO SOUTH!'
 SAYS SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK

Chicago March 14.-Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri. the coming speaker Of the National House of Representatives, today amended the famous saying of Hor- ace Greedy:
 "Go west, young man, go west'' and made it read: "Go south, my boy, go south"
 The Missouri congressman headed off newspaper men who sought to ask him questions pertaining to other matters, and insisted that they first "learn something about the southland from some one who knows and wants everyone else to know"
 Supplementing his amendment, MT. Clark said:
 ''The south is the place, and my advice is to go there You won't eat as much as you do here in the north If you do, you'll die. Your clothing must be lighter and therefore less expensive; you won't have to buy fuel to speak of and you can al low your horses and cattle to graze out of doors the year round
 Relieve me, the south is the poor mans land and you'll live to see the day when the south is going to be the richest part of the United States.

Increase Patrol on the Rio Grande in Order to
 Stop Smuggling
MANY MULES ARRIVE
 AT CAMP CROCKETT
General Mills Hustling to Get His Men Organized and Ready. Trained Nurses Volunteer
 Their Services

Washington, March 14.-The present pa trol of the Mexican frontier will be in- creased in a few days by several troops of cavalry from the mounted forces now being assembled in the southern border states.
 It is announced at the war department that the increase will amount to six or seven troops of cavalry who will be added to the patrol of the Rio Grande in order to prevent the smuggling of the aInmuni- tions of war to the Mexican revolution tsts
 In making this announcement officials of the war department say that none of the infantry regiments now mobilizing at San Antonio, Galveston and San Diego will be dispatched to the border.
 The increase in the patrol of the Mex ican border line will be made at the. re- quest of Brigadier General Duncan, com mander of the Department of Texas. Pre- vious to the receipt of this request the department had not intended to augment the southern patrol. There are already stretched along the frontier three regi- ments of cavalry, one regiment of infan- try and two companies of the signal corps.
 
 Because of the great extent of the boundary line, more than 1900 miles in length, the patrol of the frontier is a mammoth task. Constant reports are reaching Washington of the smuggling of arms and ammunition across the river, and 1t is the intention of the American government to stop this practice. That part of the boundary in the southwest which is marked by an arbitrary line is regarded as adequately patrolled at pres ent.
 It is declared to be possible today that in execution of the wish of President Taft to divest of any international significance the movement of troops and naval yes sels, the projected joint army and navy maneuvers may be abandoned. AS re- suit Admiral Staunton, who arrived at Guantanamo, Cuba, yesterday with his .armored cruiser squadron, will begin a series of drills and revolutions in that vii cinity Whether Admiral Staunton' s squadron will he sent to the Texas coast nt all will depend on future develop nenfS q

 If anyone doubts that Congressman Clark would make a good democratic can didate for President at the next election they have his own word for it, given to- day He "admitted' he would make a good candidate, saying:
 Well, the democratic party might. go further and fare worse-and 1 think 1t will"
 The next speaker of the national House discussed any and all other subjects put to him, except the Lorimer vote and woman's suffrage. Of the latter he said: T know when to let well enough alone and I'm going to keep still.'
 He prophesied victory for the reciprocity measure, and said of the tariff: We can get by MT. Taft with few schedules, we hope, where we never could get past with whole bill.''
 MT. Clark ntimated that if republicans tee appointments they could go hang for all the good 1t would do them. Only he said 1t in this way:
 Those who do not like the appoint ments can take advantage of the great American privilege of 'cussin'."
 Congressman Clark lectured tonight at a local church. He insists on calling 1t lecture, saying:

Rx MALrER HARPER

Montgomery March 14-(Speclal.)- There seems to be a pronounced crystal ization of sentiment in both houses of the legislature against any legislation pro yidng for legalized sale of liquor in any county of the state without the submis-
 sion of the question to the voters of the county.
 The fight in the senate this morning
 over a reconsideration of the Screws
 measure providing for licensed saloons Tor Montgomery is generally taken as an in dication of the change of sentiment in that body
 Many members of both houses have been free In their expressions today as De- ing opposed to any legislation that does not carry out the full idea of local option or submission of the liquor question to the people in an election.
 It seems certain now that no bill will
 pass the two houses providing for saloons or dlspensaries without an election in the counties where such saloons or dispen- saries are sought to be established. Even Senator Spragns' dispensary bill for Huntsville, where the people indorsed the plant in their election of MT. Spragins and his associates In the lower house. is in doubt.
 Percy Discusses Matter In discussing the matter tonight Walker
 Percy of JerersoR said: At one time
 framed bill for Birmingham providing a limited number of high-licensed saloons without an election. I took this position because I believed the legalized sale of liquor in Birmingham preferable to the condition of illicit liquor traffic and be- cause I believed the majority of our peo- pie preferred saloons to dispensaries. Fur ther consideration has inclined me to be- lieve that a majority of our people prefer the dspensary system to saloons. "The information from other counties where dispensaries have been tried has been surprisingly favorable to the dispen- saries from every point of view, especial ly from the standpoint of revenue. If 1t Is doubtful what the people of Birming- ham want, as 1t manifestly is, then our people should be allowed to express their preference sin an election.
 'The chief argument advanced today in favor of direct saloon legislation for Blr- mingham is that the saloons would lose in an election. That argument has decid- ed me in favor of the election This Is government or maJorltleS. am utterlS opposed to any legislation on this subject which the majority of our people might oppose, and as much as I might desire to avoid an election I regard the turmoil of an election as preferable to the irritation and dscontent which our people would certainly feel if they were deprived of the opportunity of local self-government un-
 der the Parks bill, which will be accorded to practically every other county in the state."
 This sentiment against arbitrary legis- lation on the liquor traffic has crystalized since the adjournment of the legislature
 last Friday and developed more strongly
 during today.
