He May Sail Up The River in
The Mayf|oWer, in September.
TO Do Much More Visiting In New
England This fear Than Before.

Washington, ID. c. July 25.-(Spe-
ciaD.-I President Taft is able 10
make that trip TO Waterville in early
September he win be disposed TO tar
r. for a little at Augusta, the capital
OF the state, either going or coming.
Some weeks ago when Senator john
son first preached to the President the
subject OF a visit to Central Maine. the
idea was favorably received and the
President said right away that he
w0nld like to get little better ac-
quainted with the Kennebec valley.
About four years ago he was at Bath
where he made his now famous tariff
speech. but that trip took him only into
the southern part of the state.
1t Is not unlikely that the President
will take the trip by automobile, al
though that is not settled yet. he
knows that 1t is quite feasible to traV-
81 from Beverly to Augusta and Wa
teryille in one Of the strong White
House cars. Last summer ex-GoF. Hin
came from Augusta to Beverly once or
twice by automobile. when on bust
ness with the President, but usually
stopped overnight on the way The
President contemplates going along the
Maine coast again in the government
yacht Mayfower. and il may be that
he will decide To make his coast trip
in early September in time to visit
the Waterviiie fair. He might sail up
the Kennebec river in the Mayfiower.
provided the channel Is sufficiently
deep and enjoy the beautiful scenery
of that voyage.
Anyhow, the President is DESTROYS OF
becoming more acquainted with the
Maine people and his visit to Central
Mario win afford him that opportunt
ty. Last summer lie visited at East
port. Bangor. Bar Harbor. Ellsworth
and few other points, including Bid
defora Pool, where Mrs. Tafts sister
has n cottage. Portland people Were
very anxious for the President 10
make visit with them last summer
but he was unable to accept. Probably
on his trip TO Maine this summer he
will tarry in the Maine metropolis for
little provided he is able to arrange
his itinerary satisfactorily.
