party, its achievements for half a CEN
fury and particularly it's record in the
epresent congress, is commended to the
voters of the country in the campaign
text book given out today by the Repub
lican congressional committee. The book
contains 273 pages and is replete with
Republican doctrine, embracing practical
y every conceivable subject upon which
information may be desired. Radcalism
or conservatism, il is declared, are never
matters of concern to Republicans, but 1t
is said they are content with practical
and progressive ideas and the maturing
of those ideas into positive performance"
Every statement made and all figures
presented are declared In the preface of
the book to be official and authoritative,
and the preface concludes:
THE truth is the highest exemplifica-
ton of Republican doctrines and policies
and party record, the best plea that can
be made for continuation in power"
Great Claims Made.
In discussing the campaign issues of
1906 the book calls attention TO the fact
that since the termination of the Fifty
third congress, in 1898, the house of rep
resentatives has been Republican and
adds that there is every reason to eX-
pect that a substantial working Repub-
lican majority will be elected next No
vember." During those ten years, 1t is
stated. I'VE have made a greater advance
as nation and people than was ever
made before in generation, and in many
respects greater than during our whole
previous history There can not, then, be
the least doubt of Republican success If
the voters carefully study the record of
the two parties"
There VIII be thousands and thou
sands of thousands" the book says, who
will vote for the first time in November,
who were mere children when the Demo-
Gratis last had a majority in the house of
representatives, and they do not all Wv

tives Of the Fiftieth congress. But. for
tunately, there was then Republican
senate to prevent the enactment OF a

were averted. But in 1893 the Democrats
| had the presidency and both the senate
and the house of representatives, and the
work of that single Fifty-third congress

country many billions of dollars and in
calculabIe suffering. These facts should

| especially should the record of the present
congress be studied. for though it's work

can prevent the giving TO the people of the
I country new records in every phase or in

opportunity restored the Republican party

been made since during period of ter
