President Planning Western Trip.

President Taft expects to leave Bever-
ly, Mass, Sept. II to begin a trip
through the West and to the Pacific
coast, which will be nearly as extensive
as his famous Swing around the circle"
in 1909, when he travelled $4,000 miles.
He will break ground for the Panama
canal exposition al San Francisco, make
several score of addresses and attempt
to scale $4,000 feet of Mount Rainier's
precipitous slope. The President will be
gone six weeks. In that time it is ex-
pected that he will make close to two
hundred speeches. Republican leaders
look upon the trip as the most important
politically that the President has mapped
out since he entered the White House.
He will go through all the states in the
West which recognize the domination of
the progressive Republicans who are
counted on to oppose Taft's renomina-
ton next year
