pa,gn activities will be very limited It is said
that he probably will make three or four big
speeches but Wi, not undertake an extensive trav-
cling tour through the doubtful states OF which
there are quite q number tbs year The European
war. the death OF his wife and the grind OF current
business impose mental strain that will keep
him n Washington pretty much all OF the time
a sympathetic country has only the kndest
consideration for the president both IN his heavy
personal ,illicuon and IN the stress OF his
official obligation and It glad to know tina, h,
has the courage 20 disregard the precedent which
u followed would require hun To- take the stump
in various swings around the circle. In other
sud better days 1t was considered beneath the
presidential dignity 90 go upon the husilngs and
plead Ton popular support Until the advent OF
theodore Roosevelt very little OF this sort of
thing was done Bui Roosevelt went INTO the
game with hls usual rest and his numerous pohu
cal sorte- were as spectacular as Characteristic.
Following thus precedent Mr. Taft dad a good deal
OF the same kind OF work although d was known
that he did not pursue thus course from personal
choice. tie merely yielded 20 the pressure OF
the leaders OF his party and never very happy
