It is urgently necessary, from Ahe standpoint of the public Interest, to I elect Mr. Taft and a Republican con gress which will support him; and they seek election on a platform which spo-1 cincauy pieages me party, ai!Kr in us executive and legislative branches, to continue and develop the policies which have been not merefv professed but acted upon during these seven years. These policies can be successfully car ried through only by the hearty cooper ation of the president and the congress I in botn its branches, and It is there for peculiarly Important that there should obtain such harmony between them. To fail to elect Mr. Taft would ba a calamity to the country, and it would be folly, while electing him. vet at the same time to elect a congress I hostile to him. a congress which under thA InfliiAnrA nf 'nspftaiiii lAaHap.hjn I ----- - .. . - . . ...i.ii , would be certain to thwart and baffle him on every possible occasion. To elect Mr. Taft and at th same time to elect a congress pledged to support htm Is th only way in which to perpetuate me poiicyvor ipe government as now carried on. I feel that all the support that can be riven to this policy bv nverv good citizen should be given. It is far more man a partisan matter. All to Kelp. Both your committee and the national committee, of -which Mr. Hitchcock' Is chairman, are endeavoring to secure the ; active cooperation on tne stump or sen- i ators and congressmen, party leaders i and Independent citizens generally. I most heartily Join in urging the imnor- i tance of such cooperation. I hope that every disintertested private citizen, whose sole concern in politics is to have the right kind of policies, will Join in backing, up your committee as well as the national committee in this move ment. No service is as effective, as , valuable as th disinterested service i given in such manner by men whose one concern Is for the triumph of the princi ples in which they believe, and I appeal with all the strength there is in me to such men to give support. on .
