TIIE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX. . POBTLAMJ, MAT 22, 1910. REPUBLICANS TELL THEY DIFFER Each Wing in Congress Sure It's Right and Defends Stand Taken. SOME DENY FACTIONALISM I-ojalt.y to Principles and Need ot Organization Are Advanced by One Side; Individual Freedom Is Slogan of Other. (Continued From First Fage. Republican now. No man is greater than his party. When he thinks that he is, and parts from it, he stands alone and powerless. I can accomplish most by standing firmiy for the ma jority rule of the Republican party, even if some of my own views are not always accepted as authority. I'm a regular Republican because it's , right to be. William Warner (Mo.) I believe the Republican party at this time is ad vocating Governmental policies as cor rect in principle and as safe in appli cation to advance the welfare of the people of the entire Ration as those it has written into the statutes in the past which have been attested by the growth of the Nation in resources and prosperity, evidencing their wisdom and efficiency. I find in the criticisms of my party's policies by the opposi tion and the "near" opposition no sug gestion that would weaken mo in this conviction. In other words, we are right now on all public questions as we have been in the past, and I am therefore now, as. in the past, a Re publican. Regular Representatives gave the fol lowing answers to the Tribune's question: Majority Kule Effective. D... R. Anthony, Jr., (Kan.) I am a regular Republican becausa 1 thoroughly believe In the principles of the Repub lican party. Ours is a government by political parties, through which the ma jority of the people give expression to their ideas as to the way the govern ment should be administered. The only manner in which the expressions of the majority of the people can be put into force is by majority rule, and the Republican or Democrat who does not abide by the majority rule of his party cannot truthfully say he believes In the principles of either party, but is. In fact, a traitor to the party with which he pretends to affiliate. I am a regular Republican because I believe that my party Is the only party which lias the capacity at the present day to solve satisfactorily every problem of government before the people of the United States. - William S. Bennett (N. Y.) I dislike the term "regular Republican." I make no claim to be anything but a Repub lican. I am that because reading and .experience lead me to the conviction that the Republican party is the best governmental agency in existence and has been such for nearly half a century. Elected a Republican, I naturally go Into Republican caucuses and abide by the result, because the experience of time demonstrates that no cause can be advanced except by the combined ef forts of many men. James Francis Burke (Pa.) I beg leave to state that I am a regular Re publican because Republican principles are more apt than any others that I know of to promote the general welfare If enforced. Henry 8. Boutell (111.) I a m a Re publican by education, inheritance and conviction. My father was a Republi can, a soldier in the Civil War. My ancestors were Whigs or Federalists. My great-great-grandfather, Roger Sherman, signed the Declaration of In dependence, Articles of Confederation nd Constitution. Like him, I believe in broadly interpreting the constitutional powers of the Federal Government. This fundamental principle of the Re publican party makes the Constitution a living force and National legislation responsive to the spirit of the times. I am a regular because regularity means loyalty. Change of party may be hon orable. Disloyalty to party associates violates the lex majoris partis on which society rests, and, like any other breach nf faith, is held among gentlemen to be dishonorable. Campbell Not Faultfinder. P. P. Campbell (Kan.) Answering your question as to why I am a regular Republican: Because I am a Republi can ; because 1 can do more to promote the general welfare by constant and regular action with men who work along the same general lines than by alternating In action between men who work along different lines; because for half a century the Republican party has been the only party with a cohesive organization, capable of keeping the laws abreast with the country's prog ress; became by a majority rule in the House in the last seven years it has enacted 17.954 laws, including the Roosevelt policies, and all so good that no party would repeal any of them but one; because I am not attracted to cither a regular organization or a tem porary coalition of mere faultfinders. I do not look upon a man as a useful member who is enrolled in one church and teaches a Sunday school class in another and Is always in doubt as to which has the best festivals. K. D. Crumpacker (Ind.) You ask me why T am a regular Republican. My answer Is that I know of only one standard of regularity for Republicans upon National questions, and that is the Republican platform dopted at the National Convention in 1908. I be lieve in carrying into effect in good faith the pledges contained in that platform, and have labored diligently to this end, and I expect to continue my efforts along that line until everv pledge has been fulfilled. If this makes me a regular Republican I am one. VT. S. Fasyett (N. Y.) I am a regular Republican because better work can be clone ror tne country by majority heed ing cohesive party rule than bv mi nority irregulars. Majorities are re sponsible, minorities irresponsible. It is a mistake to get away from repre sentative government. Representative government means government by par ties. Party government implies rule by majorities, not by minorities. Reg ularity means majoritj-. Regulars now control, the Republican party, as they have done for BO years. Majority opin ions afford a safer basis for sound gov ernment tnan minontv opinions. Charles E. Fuller (111.) I suppose I am designated a regular Republican be cause I am a Republican all the time. Trlnclples Believed In. J. Warren Kelfer (O.)-Why should I not be a regular Republican? What character and influence would a party possess composed of irregulars? I may add that I have been a regular Repul oa ever since and before I became '21 WHY years of age ever since the party was organized. I have fought in peace and war for its moral and material prin ciples that have brought so much lib erty, justice and prosperity to our peo ple, and which has spread its' influ ence throughout the world. I think they are as important to be firmly ad hered to now as in the past, and I therefore know no reason why I should not continue to adhere to them. In saying this much I should add that - I have always acted in my party with that independence of judgment that I deemed best for its interests. Martin B. Madden (111.) I beg to say that I am a regular Republican because I believe the fundamental principles of the Republican party are better calcu lated to develop the industries of the country than those of any .other party, and because the Republican party has stood for all legislation calculated to produce prosperity, advance the well being of the Nation, build up a higher moral standard, give employment to la bor, encourage individual effort, devel op freedom of thought, bring happi ness to the home, protect the industries of the United States, encourage patriot ism, place the citizenship of the coun try on an equality, insist that all men are equal before the law, protect prop erty and the right of every man in the enjoyment of the honest accumulation of his toil, encourage the masses to protect the wealth of the Nation on the theory that the poor man of today may be the rich man of tomorrow. William Bv. McKinley (111.) I am a regular Republican because: (1) Popu lar government has been and is main tained only by the acquiescence of the minority in the will of the majority. (2) Because the American people be lieve In party government. (3) To have a responsible party the minority with in it must abide by the will of the majority. In the Central American re publics an ideal insurgent form of gov ernment prevails. The party elected by the majority of voters Is installed in office and proceeds to administer the government. Thereupon the insurgent minority starts a revolution. (4) Be cause I agree with President Taft that personal predilections should give way to party solidarity to accomplish the good which united action on Important principles secures. Samuel W. McCall (Mass.) In the first place. I don't like to be called a "regular" Republican. I insurge myself occasionally when I think the circum stances warrant It. Party Best for Nation. Charles F. Scott (Kan.) I am a Re publican because I am in acccrrd with the principles and policies of that party as laid down in its National platforms and because I believe it better qualified than any other party to conduct the government of the United States. John A. Sterling (111.) In the last National campaign the several political parties announced their principles and promises in their respective platforms. The people, on the issues thus made, elected a Republican President and a Republican Congress. The people ex pect, and they have a right to ex pect this Administration to fulfill the declarations of the Republican plat form. This can be done and Is being done through the regular Republican organization. It can be done in no other way. Nobody else is charged with the responsibility of making good these promises. I was a candidate on that platform. The people of the Sev enteenth district of Illinois knew' my position. They elected me by a ma jority of more than 5000. They ex pect me to "make good," and I have no inclination to disappoint them. That is why I am a regular Republican. F. C. Stevens (Minn.) I am a regular Republican because as citizen and pub lic official in that way I help most toward the successful goveriinen' of our country. The United States Is confronting-most important and complex governmental problems and the prin ciples and policies f the Republican party seem to me will best meet them. N. B. Thlstlewood (111.) I beg to say that I am a Republican because the Republican party was born Just before I became entitled to a vote. I early imbibed the teachings of Lincoln, Se ward, and other noted Republican leaders. I have seen the country grow and prosper under government by the Republican party and Republican rule. I have seen the greatest rebellion of the world's history suppressed throu h the regular organization of the Repub lican party. I have seen -uch tariff legislation by the regular organization of the Republican party as has had, in my judgment, more to do with the rapid development of this country than any other one thing. "Why Senators 'Insurge." The following replies were received from insurgent Senators: Moses E. Clapp (Minn.) With such light as I am able to get, based upon my knowledge of the history of the Re publican party, its achievements, tra ditions and policies, and my interpre tation of its platform, coupled with an overwhelming assurance from every section of the country that this inter pretation is correct, I am trying to be in harmony with party. Knute Nelson (Minn.) Why do you call me an "insurgent Republican?" Joseph Bristow (Kans.) I am styled an "insurgent Rpublican," I suppose, because I voted against the Payne-Aid-rich tariff bill. I voted against that bill because it was framed more with a view to benefiting certain manufac turing Interests and monopolies than ot contributing to the general welfare of the American people. I am opposed to all legislation of that character, whether it be a railroad bill, a currency measure or a tariff bill. Upon such leg islation I usually disagree with Mr. Aid rich and a number of Republican leaders of the Senate and therefore vote indepen dently; that is, I endavor to determine for myself, from .my own investigation, how I ought to vote upon important measures affecting the Interests of my constituents. Instead of allowing some one else to determine that for me. I am a Republican and am adhering faithfully to the fundamental princi ples and policies of the party to which I -belong, and I protest against that great party being made by any con gressional oligarchy the handmaiden of the special interests of the country. Because of this independence, on the part of a number of Republican Sena tors they are styled "insurgents." Term Is Objected To. Insurgent Representatives made the following replies: Butler Ames (Mass.l I'm a Repub lican. Isn't that enough? Why must my Republicanism be qualified with strange terms of "insurgency" or "reg ularity?" If the old guard lingers be hind the thought of the day, let the qualification rest upon them, where the responsibility rests.- The conservatism of old age has not permeated my being. I voted that the Speaker ought not to appoint the members of the Ballinger Pinchot investigating committee. Some persons would call that an insurgent vote. I did It because I thought the people, rightly or wrongly, regarded the Speaker, as wearing horns on his head and a hoof on his leg, and for that reason would have no confidence in the verdict should an antl-Plnchot report be made. I voted for a larger committee on rules. Some persons would call that an insurgent vote. If it was, the majority of Republicans in my district and In .the country are in surgents, for I believe that the over whelming sentiment of . the country was for such a change in the rules com mittee. William J. Cary (Wis.) I have no personal grievance against Speaker Cannon. My grievance is against the special interests that are behind him and that have controlled Ills conduct of affairs in the House in the formation of committees and the powers that the committees have exercised. J. H. Davidson (Wis.) I am an in surgent because I am opposed to a sys tem of rules' of the House of Represen tatives which permits one man to be come the dictator of the legislative conduct of every other member of the House. I am fighting for such changes in the rules as will enable each mem ber to have an equal opportunity with every other member in the enactment of laws desired by and in the interests of the people he represents. C1. R. Davis fMlniu) I am an insurgent Republican within the Republican party because I am opposed to a system which has been perfected whereby a few Re publican leaders undertake to dominate legislation and control Republican poli cies. A. F. Dawson (Iowa) Let me empha size the fact that I am a Republican without any qualifying adjective. I would exalt that Republicanism which is fear less and independent enough to maintain party virility and keep it abreast of the times, which exercises toleration of the differing views of equally honent and pat riotic men, which displays the good sense to regulate factional strife to the limbo of yesterday and which would substitute for dogmatism and criticisms a steady and sincere helpfulness in vitalizing Re publican principles into law, because the supremacy of those principles spells the largest prosperity, progress and glory for the Republic Hamilton Fish (jr. T.) I am an Insur gent only against the reactionary House organization and rules they seek to throttle legislation in the interest of the people. Otto G. Foelker (N. Y.) Your question "Why are you an insurgent Republican?" assumes that which I earnestly deny namely: that I am an Insurgent. When I entered upon my duties I found, not a deliberative body consisting of nearly 400 meniDers, eacn navlng equal rights with the others, but conditions which took the control of legislation out of the hands of Congress and placed It in the hands of one man. I knew this was not right: I knew that it was contrary to the spirit of our institutions, and I set to work to get back into the hands of Congress, and of the entire Congress, the rights and powers which had been negligently del egated away, contrary to all conceived notions of popular government. Gilbert N. Haugen (Iowa I am an in surgent because I believe in the principles for which our forefathers fought free dom of thought and action and personal independence. I would rather vote my own views than to take orders. B. A. Hayes (Cal.) I am an Insurgent Republican because I object to the arbi trary and un-American methods by which in recent years the House of Represen tatives has been controlled by the Speak er and his immediate lieutenants. E. H. Hinshaw (Neb.) I am an Insur gent in the House because I believe in a lessening of the one-man power and a conversion of that body into a gathering of free representatives of the people. insurgency in tne House is only one manifestation of progressive Republican ism. The latter looks to a separation of business and politics and a driving out of power those leaders who have shown themselves to be more interested in the welfare of certain classes of special in terests than In that of the general public. Elbert H. Hubbard (Iowa) I came to Congress as a most regular Republican. In a short time I saw that the house was under the control of the Speaker and his lieutenants. To rebel against the will of the Speaker was party treason. He and his little group of lieutenants said what was to be done, and if any ventured to oppose, the eye of disfavor was turned upon them. I became hostile to such rule. When It came time to revise the tariff I found that the" little groim was set against downward revision. My constit uents were for lower rates, and rightly, as I believe. The attitude of the so-called leaders Intensified my insurgency. I be lieve that the . insurgents represent the true conviction of the party, and that the leaders do not represent, it. N. E. Kendall (Iowa) I am an in surgent Republican because I favor: (a) The retirement of Mr. Cannon from the Speakership: (b) Such further revision of the rules of the house as shall deprive the chair of the power over committee appointments; (c) The immediate enact ment into law of the progressive policies advocated by President Roosevelt and ap proved by the American people. Gustav Kustermann (Wis.) I am an independent Republican for the reason that I am in Congress to represent the whole people, not merely one faction or one party, but the people of all factions. My vote is cast for a meritorious Demo cratic measure Just as quickly as for a Republican measure. I follow my judg ment and the dictates of my conscience in my duties as a member of Congress. If being an independent Republican is characterized as insurgency, then I say make the most of it. C. A. LInbergh (Minn.) I beg to state that I am an Insurgent Republican be cause I have been designated such by rea son of the fact that I have not accepted Cannon. Aldrich, and other bosses as my guide in official action. I consider that as a representative of a sovereign people, I must act for and bo responsible to my constituency, and do what seems to me for the common welfare. That, I believe is called insurgency. Eben W. Martin (S. D.) It would hard ly be a correct Btatement of the case to say that I am an Insurgent. I should class myself as an Independent regular. I united with the insurgents in the recent movement to change the organization of the committee on rules, because I be lieved In the measure and have consider ed for years that some changes ought to be made in the direction of restoring to the individual representatives some of the power which has by the growth and development of custom been lodged in the Speaker of the House. G- W. Norrls (Neb.) I am an Insur gent because I believe In the right of in dividual action and freedom of repre sentation in the House of Represent atives, and in no other way can I voice my opposition to one man domination and machine control. Herbert Parsons (N. Y.) Whether I am to be classed 'as an "insurgent Republi can" depends upon the definition of that word. I have attended all party caucuses and have abided by their results. I voted as I have because of what seemed to me the merits of each proposition. In my mind the House of Representatives would be- a more useful body and made up of men feeling their responsibility more if the power was distributed, rather than so much concentrated in the Speaker. Miles Poindexter (Wash.) I am an in surgent becatise I am opposed to the boss system in politics. I am a progressive Re publican because the special interests, by means of the boss and the machine, have degraded American politics in municipal, state, and national affairs. So general has this condition become that unless it is attacked 'persistently it will destroy the freedom and equality under the law which have been the especial character istics of our government. It is an issue between the reign of law and the reign of force and crime. In the House of Rep resentatives the boss system has been developed to such an extent that opposi tion to it is deemed political heresy. Ross Appeal Is Drawn T.'p. SALEM, Or., May 21.

HILL NOT BEHIND ALLEN Latter Represents Only Self in Ask ing for Franchise. MEDFORD, Or., May 21. (Special.) John R. Allen, president of the Pacific & Eastern Railroad, who is securing right of way for an electric road through the valley and is at present applying for a franchise for a trolley line In Ashland, announced this after noon that the Hill interests were not behind the electric road, but that it was a private enterprise of his. The question arose In connection with a statement made by Louis W. Hill, while in Ashland. Thursday, when he informed the people of that place that he knew nothing of his father being behind a proposed trolley lino in that city, but that he would find out and let them know. " i have stated on numerous occa sions," said Mr. Allen today, "that I did not represent the Great Northern P.ailroad nor James J. Hill. In fact for some time past I. have been en deavoring to be relieved of. the presi dency of the Pacific & Eastern in or der to devote all my time to my other interests, including the electric' line. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW BOYS WILL WEAR THIS the franchises for which I hold in Medford and Grants . Pass, anff for which application is now on file with the City Council of Ashland. I be lieve that the francTilse in Ashland will be granted." CLASS TAKES COMMUNION Service at Mount Angel Most Ira ' pressive of Whole School Year. MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE, Or., May 21.(Special.)
