TAFT’S SADDLE
HAS BEEN FOUND
He Will Now Add Horse
backing to His Pas
times.
AUGUSTA. Oii., Doc. 23-*Presideirt-
elect Wm. H. Taft decided yesterday
to vinlt the atate of Texaa at some
convenient time, after hla Inaugura
tion, preferably at the end of the ®pe-
clal Hesalon of congress, which he la
to rail to revise the tariff. While his
Itinerary for the vlalt has not been
arranged ho will make the city of Dal
ian one of the principal points of the
trip.
Thirty cities and towns of the Lone
Star nt ate united In a request for his
presence ut any time he should choose
omc. The Invitation expressed a
keen desire on the part of the com
mercial bodies of the places In ques
tion to make the personal acquaint
ance of Mr. Taft and promised him
a cordial welcome and courteous treat
ment. It also dwelt upon the advan
tage which would result both to the
state nnd to himself of such a visit.
The acceptance of the Invitation Is In
accordance with Judge Taft's well-de.
fined plan to Impress upon the south
the necessity of becoming practical In
Its politics. lie is to bring his ad
ministration Into close touch with the
south, according to his declarations
and hopes to bring the south to real
ize the necessity of itself taking
hand In national affairs.
Declines Chattanooga Invitation.
Judge Taft was compelled, much to
Is expressed regret to decline
to visit Chattanooga. Tenn., where It
was hoped to have hb* presence at
tho dedl atlon of a 3200,000 Young
Men's Christian Association building.
The Invitation was extended personal
ly by a delegation which visited Mr.
Taft front that city. In declining the
president-elect said that to accept
meant that he would have to give up
the balance of tho time between now
nnd his trip to Patinma In visiting
southern cities, as he had pressing
Invitations from nearly nil of them,
and to accept one and reject another
would cause dissatisfaction. He ex
pressed his hearty accord with the
Y. M. C. A. movement In the south
and recalled the fact that he had
assisted at such dedications all around
tho world.
To Visit Three Cities.
But three southern cities beside?
Augusta will see the president-elect
during his present stay In the south
land. Ho will visit Atlanta nt some
time to be fixed by a delegation which
will come hero next week. He will
oinhnrk for Panama from Charleston,

Orleans on his return. Invitations
which ho has been compelled to de
cline are from Apalachicola and

and Savannah, Gn.; Chattanooga,
T**nn., nnd Charlotte, N. C.
delegation of southern editors
havo applied to bo received by Mr.
Taft while hero and their request has
been granted. The arrangements for
the expedition haye not yet been com
pleted.
Mr. Taft said tonight that ho lmd
rltten Frank H. Hitchcock, national
republican chairman and future post
master general to visit him here for
week or more. Mr. Hitchcock’s
presence Is expected within u few
days.
Senator Knox, who Is also expected
has as yet not Indicated when he
will bo here. As the result of a cas
ual remark by Mr. Tnft at tho coun
try club dinner last night that ho had
not been nblo to find hero a saddle
that was "big enough to stick a post
age stamp on” Judge Taft was to
day presented by Superior Court
Judge Henry C. Hammond with a
saddle of ample proportions. Mr. Taft
will add rldlAg to his routine of dally
exercise. A steam automobile assign
ed for his uxo will be here tomorrow
In chnrgo of II. II. Searls, an expert
from tho factory. As thcro are many

fond of automoblllng. will bo enabled
to get acquainted with tho surround
ing country.
At a dinner Saturday night to be
given to Mr. Taft by Henry C. Max
well, an old-time Cincinnati friend.
It has been planned that Judge Taft

eral officeholders, which will afford
Mr. Taft further opportunity to ex
tend his southern propaganda.

and Mrs. Tnft. left for Savannah to
day, there to be tho guest of Mr. nnd
Mrs. Qeorgo J. Baldwin, of whom Miss
