as President and Republican Congress
to support him. saying. In part:
at Is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft. and Republican Con-
rrcss which will support him; and they
seek election on II platform which sre-
ciicaily pledges the party, alike In Its
executive and legislative branches. to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced. but
acted upon during these seven years.
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty cooper.
alton OF the President and the Congress
In both Its branches. and II is therefore
ptcuimr'y important 'h'' 'h'ie S"ou"
obtain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be n calam-
ity to the country; and It would be
folly. while electing him. yet at til.
same time to elect II Congress hostile
to him. a Congress which under the In
fuencc Of pirtIsan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft. and nt the snIne time to elect a
Congress pledged to support him. is the
only way in which to perpcruaie tie
policy of the government Ms now car
ricd on feel that all the aid that can
he given to this policy by every good
citizen should he given: for this Is far
more than a merely partisan matter"
