George H. Roberts, director of the
mint, has returned from a western trip.
While in that part of the country he
made number of Inquiries as to the
effect of the trip of President Taft.
Il found a rather general impression
that President Taft has strengthened
himself with the people," said Mr..
Roberts today. His personality and
his candid speeches have impressed the
many thousands who saw and heard him.
The result Is feeling that the Presi-
dent has done much under most diff
cult circumstances. and that no other
man could have done better. The Presi-
dents sincerity and honesty have won
thousands Of people heretofore disposed
to criticise him and find fault with his
course His speeches explaining his at
titude on public questions and giving
reasons for his actions on certain mat
ters have gone far toward clearing the
public mind"

WOMAN VOTE LIMITED.
Barred This Year by Registration
Laws in Many California Towns.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 6.-Cali-
fornia women generally will not be per-
mitted to participate in elections this
year owing to a state law that registra-
ton must close forty days before election.
The Los Angeles municipal election,
which takes place December 5. permits
time for woman voters to legally register.
Several smaller towns are similarly af-
fected. but in the majority Of California
cities women will not vote at municipal
elections this year.
The difference Is caused by municipal
