TAFT Is PLEASED
WITH TRIP WEST
President, on Return Here, Ex'
presses Appreciation of Recep-
ton in Toledo and Chicago.

President Taft yesterday returned from
three-day trip to Toledo and Chicago.
He was in a happy frame of mind over
his reception while in the Middle West.
and was particularly pleased with the
manner I'm which his speeches at Toledo
and Chicago were received by the people
Of those cities. Mr.. Taft has received
many kilograms Of congratulation upon
the recall of judges and of court deci-
sions advocated by Col. Roosevelt in the
Columbus speech. The President has this
comment to make upon his trip:
THE reception accorded me by the peo-
pie of Toledo and Chicago puts me under
a deep sense of obligation to them The
discussion of questions of government
brought forth many sympathetic assur-
ances, and the American citizens Of for
sign birth or descent, of whom several
great audiences were composed, seemed
especially interested and concerned in
the outlines of constitutional problems.
The spirit of optimism. of faith in our
institutions, of confidence one in another.
is as strongly in evidence to-day as at
any time in the history of our country"
Mr.. Taft was especially gratified by the
Endorsement of his administration by the
Union League Club of Philadelphia by
an overwhelming vote.
The Presidents next trip will take him
to Boston and Nashua and Concord, N.
H. He will leave Sunday night for Bos-
ton, where he will join in the celebration
of St. Patricks Day and also of the
evacuation day anniversary. On Tues
day he will invade New Hampshire,
where there is some Roosevelt sentiment.
He will return to Washington on
Wednesday.

viii Take Issue with President
Taft as to the Management of
"Big Business"

| oyster Bay. N. Y, March I-col
Roosevelts views on the control OF big
business will be exploited in his con-
templated stumping trip. The ex-Presi-
dent takes severe issue with President
Taft as to the adequacy OF the Sherman
antitrust act, and this he win dwell
upon. Roosevelt thinks the Sherman
act Is way behind the times. He will
suggest in bis speeches some new form
OF legislation by Congress by which the
trusts may know exactly what bounds
they must keep within. The former
President takes the attitude that once
big business knows precisely what lin
itations the government demands, there
would be consistent disposition to obey

the requirements. He will probably
make his first speech along this line in
New York within two weeks. Later he
will go to the upper part OF the State
and then out West. The trip will prob
ably be short as the colonel has no de-
sire to go upon an extended Jaunt until
the fight gets further along. He Is look

ton. after which, II he gets the nom

to his New York office. Alexander

one OF the members of which was Col.
Plunkett. They reached the summit of

other, hearing noise, however, turned

coming out on the other side OF his face
leaving a deep scar. Despite the shock,
he managed to draw his own weapon
