AND WILL CALL NAM E S

Washington. April 19-President
Taft will make a short trip to Massa-
chusetts next week to deliver sew
eral campaign speeches there before
the state primaries TO be held on
April 30. Mr.. Taft will leave Wash

speak at Springfield, Worcester and
Boston. From Boston he will go to
New York, where he will attend Gen.
Grants funeral on Friday. Saturday
he will be the guest of the Union
League Club OF Philadelphia, He will
return to Washington early Sunday
morning.
The trip to Massachusetts is the
first step toward enlivening the. Taft
campaign. The Roosevelt victories
in Illinois and Pennsylvania have
convinced Mr. Taft's political advis-
ers that they must become more ac-
tive in their efforts to counterfeit the
effects of Col. Roosevelt's campaign
ing. Massachusetts is the next state
where primaries will be held and a
vigorous contest will be waged be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces
to carry it.
President Taft's political advisers
declare that Col Roosevelt has mis-
represented the presidents views and
policies, especially in his campaign
ing trips in Illinois and Pennsylva
MIA. For this reason the president
has been persuaded to enter the cam
paign personally in order to make his
position on the different issues plair
to the people.
President Taft has decided to aban
don his attitude of silence under tn,
severe criticisms which Col Roose
welt has made of him in campaign
| speeches, and in some of his mex
public addresses will reply to thu
