TALKS OF CAMPAIGN BOOK
Representative sherman spends Some
Time at Sycamore Hill with
the President

OYSTER BAY, L. l.. Aug. S-When
Representative Sherman left Sycamore
Hill this afternoon he said that while he
had gone over the congressional campaign
with the president thoroughly. the prin-
cipal object of his visit was to review the
campaign textbook, which is to be issued
next week
When Speaker Cannon and Mr. Sherman
and other members of the congressional
committee visited the president several
weeks ago several matters to be handled in
the textbook were discussed In detail.
Mr. Sherman said 1t was desirable to go
over these matters again with the presi-
dent before the book should be given to
the public He said the president had ap-
proved OF the way in which the matters
had been handled.
''The book will be a standpat document,
with word pictures Of the record of the
republican party, and reasons why that
party should be kept in power" said Mr..
Sherman.
Mr. Sherman spoke appreciatively of the
presidents interest in the campaign The
outlook. he said, was good. "Of course, "
he remarked. the republicans are not go
ing TO retain all the seats they now have
in the house, but we will remain in actual
control of the Sixtieth congress. That we
are sure of.
AT the last election we had President
Roosevelt on the ticket and no real demo-
crat against him. For this reason we car
ried a number of strictly democratic dis
tricts that we had no more right TO than
some one besides the president had 10 Sag
amore Hill. While we expect to lose some
OF these, districts. the republican members
who hold them now are confident in every
instance Of their reelection"
