HOT SPRINGS. Va. Nov. s.-Prcsident
Taft win get vote at the Cincinnati
and Hamilton county elections after all.
For two weeks there has been doubt as

to cast a ballot in his home city next

The president sent his registration pa
pers to Cincinnati too late and the eiec-
tion board decided he could not vote un-
less be appeared In person next Monday
and swore that he was a qualified elector.
Mr.. Taft had intended leaving Hot
Springs Monday night, arriving in Gin
cinnau early election day. but today he
changed his plans. As result he will
leave here Sunday night, make the neces-
sary affidavit before the election board
that day and be prepared on Tuesday
TO register his preference, not as the
titular head OF the republican party, but
as a citizen OF Ohio.
President Joins Family.
Mr.. Taft arrived at Hot Springs early
today. Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft,
who arrived here five days ago. met him
at the station and he had breakfast with
them. for the first time In ten weeks.
With the arrival in Hot Springs, prob
ably tomorrow, OF Secretary Hllles, Mr..
Taft will have data which he expects TO
use In his third annual message to con-
gress. Mr. Hilles left the president at
Washington last night, intending to Sc
cure information from the departments
for incorporation in the message, which
friends OF Mr. Taft believe will be the
most important he has had 10 write. An
actual start upon It may be made at
Cincinnati Monday, but the final draft
will be made, of course. in Washington,
after Mr.. Tafts return. November II
According TO persons close 20 the presi-
dent. some OF the important questions to
which he viii cali the attention OF con-
gress are the tariff, the trusts. the Sec
ond.class postage rates. stock watering
and overcapltalization,, conservation, cur
rency reform and navy reorganization.
The peace treaties, for which the presi-
dent has spoken often on the trip west,
will not be referred to In the message,
II was said today. since they are now be-
fore the senate. A special message to
that body alone is believed to be in pros
peot later.
VIII Discuss Trusts.
His Pittsburg speech showed that the
president was opposed TO amendment OF
the Sherman antitrust law and indicated
also that he did not believe It should be
repealed and II is understood the mes
sage viii lisouss the trust question at
length. It was said the president again
would proffer 60 congress his federal in
corporation bill drawn up by Attorney
General Wickersham and offered TO con-
gress two years ago. but since untouched
and practically unreferred to.
The report OF the commission investi-
eating second class postage rates. OF
which Supreme Justice Hughes Is chair
man. and that of the railroad securities
commission investigating stock watering
and overcapitalizatlon. OF which Presi-
dent Hadley OF Yale is chairman, will
be at the presidents disposal within a
few days and IL is practically certain that
he will pass on TO congress such recon-
mendations as these commissions may
make.
The preident lost little time in getting
out on the golf links today. Mrs. Taft
who had been taking long walks since her
arrival here. went around with him and
watched the play Forty-seven days on
tho road, IL was quickly apparent. had
not improved the presId, play.
