act was tb removal of a number of In

More nurses were stricken' today, and
th situation la hourly growing worse.
All ordinary patients hav been turned
away from the hospitals to make room

It is generally (admitted that there
are at least 4.0OO cais of cholera In St.

.occurred on th streets, and many of
the stricken people have died before

Thousands of people ar leaving th

these represent but a portion of what
lias been dune bv congress, anil form
a record of substantial legislative
achievement in harmony with the best
and most progressive thought of our
people.
- Taft and Congress.
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.

All the wondrous melodies which can be drawn from strings of wire can be produced in a man
