New Year's Reooptlon at Whit Housa
Almost Equaled Last Qlven by
Roosevelt, When 8,600 People
Wero In Line, a Reoord Tht
Still Standi.
Washington, Jan. 2. President Taft
was very glad when today came. lit
is tired all over, his arm aches from
linger tips to shoulder, nnd the good
right hand with which he signs blllu
nnd other things Is considerably swol
len, but he has the comforting knowl
edge thnt his New Year's reception
was n big success, that the attendance
broke all records for similar affairs in
his administration and had almost
equaled tho figures for the last Roosu
vclt reception when the colonel wan
leaving for private life and darkest
Africa and lots of folks were giving
the Hons absent treatment and won-1
derlng If the sleeping sickness was
reallv as catching ns the medlcnl )
sharps tried to make out.
Just 8,0'J2 handshnkes came Mr.
Taft's way. according to the secret
service man with the numeral register
who stood nt his elbow. Last year
only 5,000 people called to pay their
respects, and the total for the last
Roosevelt reception was only 8,000, or
just 508 more than greeted Mr. Tuft
this year. If some of the president's
friends had known in time that the
record was within their grasp they
might hnve been tempted to round up
enough of the lloayng population of
Washington to beat the Roosevelt fig
ures. Not that It would have meant
anything in particular, but just In a
spirit of gentle rivalry nnd to start the
new year right.
But Mr. Taft is convinced that 8,002
handshakes are quite sufficient for one
reception, und he was unfelgnedly
glad when an usher slipped into the
blue room and :old him tho end of the
long line wns ln sight.
