standpoint Of the public interest, to
elect Mr., Taft, and republican con-
gress which will support him; and
they seek election on platform which
specifically pledges the party, alike In
Its executive and legislative branches,

politics is to have the right kind OF
man carry out the right kind of policy
will join in backing up your committee
