Samuel G. Blythe reports on Western attitudes towards President William H. Taft following his recent nationwide speaker tour. People generally like Taft as a person, but do not feel that they have seen enough of his governing ability or policies to support him as their president. Taft is also contending with the ongoing popularity of Theodore Roosevelt, which may surge again when he returns from Africa.
