LEAVES BEVERLY TONIGHT Tour Expected to' Have an Influence on His Political Future—The Tariff to be Main Topic of His Addresses. corly, Mass. Sept. 14.—President Taft leaves Beverly tomorrow on his second swing around the circle. In the opinion of many of his friends the trip promises to he one of the most impor- tant ever undertaken by a chiaf execu- tive. He himseif has said that he will indulge in but little political discus- sion, but it is admitled that oppor- tunity for such discussion will not merely be offered but probably will be thrust upon him. Will Accept Gage of Battle. That he would-accept the gzage of battle if some “heckler’ in his audi- ences threw. it on the platform is hard- 1y doubted. That the president’s polit- ical fortunes may depend to some tent on the outcome of this journ agreed to by administration. Last Trip Two Years Ago. Two vears ago tomorrow the pre dent started from Beverly on his first cross-continental trip since he had en- taked the White House. He had been six months in office and the Payne- Aldrich tariff law had been five weeks on the statute books. On that -trip he delivered his famous address at Winona, Minn. a defense of the law on which most of the criticism of the administration’s tariff policy had been based. -On the list for the present journey the president has set down the tariff” and “the tariff board” as two subjects for set addresses. Vetoes Will Be Discussed. His vetoes of the wool bill, the cot- st bill have not besn set aside’ for separate speeches. but that they will be dealt With in the two general addresses is ¢ is many men close to the highly probable. The tariff miy prove after all the leading topic, aithough that is not tha president’s plan. Today His 54th Birthday. Toniorrow will be his 54th birthday and he plans to spend the day quietly on the links at Myopia and at Parra- matta. He will start for Boston by motor about 6 o'clork. Mrs. Taft prob- ably will go with him to Boston, but will return to Beverly. She expects to remain in Beverly through October. i s 1| Cabled Paragraph T0 PREVENT Mac DONALD PR AT .| _Altling, Upper.

First a d astrous spring drought, then prolonged rains, too late. to benefit the products, and now unexpected frcsts have made this a_particularly hard year for the New England farmer.

Four- fifths of the crop having ai- ready been harvested, not more than 20 per cent. of the ope tobacco of 1912 was subject to injury, and in some places the amount Jeft standing was not_more than 10 per cent. of the whole. The frost was nowhere a kill- ing frost, and therefore the total dam- age was scrious only in the case of farmers who had a large portion of their crop remaining upharvested.
