TUFT WILL SPEAK
IN EAST AND WEST
Result of Conference With
Hitchcock on Plans for
Campaign.
BIG DEMAND TO HEAR HIM
"West Especially Anxlons to Hear
Him, but Will Also Extend His
Tour Through East To
Start by October 1.
MIDDLE BASS. O.. Sept. 8- William
H. Taft will make a traveling cam
paign durinsr the month of October,
devoting his time principally to those
states which the National committee
may consider doubtful, if the ideaa of
both the candidate and his National
chairman. Frank Hitchcock, aa ex
pressed today, are. carried out.
Mr. Taft indicated that although the
greatest demand for his presence had
come from the Went, this would not
preclude hi tppearaiice in Eastern
states and that, when "the tour was
decided on. it would undoubtedly
reach both East and West.
"I had a very fine talk with Judge
Taft for a long time about the demand
that he go on a speechmaking tour."
said Mr. Hitchcock, who is on his way
to New York. "There Is a great de
mand for him in the West; In fact all
over the country, a demand that Is so
strong, so overwhelming, that l do not
know whether it is possible to refuse
It. Party leaders thought it best that
he should not go personally into the
campaign, but the situation is differ
ent now from what it was then. Party
organizations want him; want to see
him. That trip that Judge Taft made
through Ohio has convinced all that
he has made good aa a campaigner.
It Is possible, therefore, that by Oct
ober 1. he will go out to make some
speeches.
"I also went over with Judge Taft
the situation, state by state, telling
him of the reports I have received and
what the party leaders have said.
There is no doubt that he will win If
we make the right kind of a campaign
and keep at It.'

were better than at previous shows.

Tacoma, and Miss Laidlaw, of Spokane.

another substituted in one minute and
20 seconds. The troop of the Four
teenth cavalry was a feature of the
show, the cavalrymen giving a fine
exhibition of fancy riding. The Port
land entries were few in number, but
took their share of the honors. T. B.
Wilcox took three firsts and one sec
ond in different classes for pairs, with
Black Chief and Hindoo Prince, Black
Prince also taking a first In a class
for mares or geldings. Mrs. Lewis
took three seconds with Citizen and
Civilian. Clayton Fallas with Lady

hi the rich Flatbush stakes at Sbeeps
head Bay, and Sir Martin won. As in
the futurity. Sir Martin ran weU, while
giving the Keene filly nine pounds, shoul
dering 127 to her 118. It was thought
today, with the handicap removed, he
might take her measure, and he did not
disappoint his admirers.
The result has given rise to a belief
in some quarters that, after all. the
question of the best 2 -year-old of the
season Is not yet settled and perhaps is
one altogether of weight if not of dls
tatnee also, the Flatbush stakes which
Sir Martin won today being seven fur
longs to the futurity's six.

length and a half with Maskette and Sir
Martin In close attendance. At the bend
Into the stretch Maskette took the lead
by half a length, with Sir Martin sec
ond. Schilling put 8ir Martin under a
drive, and, catching the Keene filly at
the furlong pole, took the lead and won
easily by four lengths. Maskette was a
length and half before Fayette.
J. R. Keene's Ballot won the Century
stakes, H4 miles, and In doing so a new
track record of 2:30 3-6 was made. This
time Is very close to the world's record
for the distance, which Is 2:3014. made
by Goodrich at Chicago several years
ago.
Results :
Six and one-half furlongs Roseben won,
Tom McGrath second. Demund, third;
time, 1:19 2-5.

Don't Make This Mistake
Don't imagine that all Piano-Players are
Pianolas, and are "Pretty Much Alike."
Do you realize that the chief beauty of a
musical composition lies in. the way it is inter
preted? . You are justified in expecting that the Piano
Player you buy will furnish you with an ade
quate guide to interpretation, as well as perfect
means of expression.
As a matter of- fact, the Pianola s the only
Piano-Player made which furnishes such means
and a 'guide. . .
The Metrostyle does this, and in addition to
many other advantages, the Pianola and Pianola
Piano are the only instruments having the Me
trostyle. The Metrostyle is just as valuable to
those who know music as to those who do
not. It shows, in a way that anyone can
follow, exactly how Paderewski, Grieg,
Moskowski, and other famous musicians, in
terpret their own and other works.
Without the Metrostyle and the Themodist
(which accents the melody), it is impossible for
anyone to realize ALL the pleasure a Piano
Player can give.
Pianolas cost $215 and S300.
Pianola Pianos from $500 to $1150.
