Secretary of War Taft discusses his thoughts about his upcoming trip from the Philippines to Europe and back via the Siberian Railway. Taft believes he can assuage any unfavorable feelings in Japan the trip may arouse during his visit with his Japanese friends, including the Minister of War. In Ohio, Taft says the news of his endorsement by the state central committee gets better as time goes on; both Senators Joseph Benson Foraker and Charles Dick have promoted the endorsement in the press by speaking out against it.
