the President, which was the same
thing as obstructipg the people. They
fought every step Of Mr.. Taft's way.
They maintained their flimsy contests
in the national convention to the end.
They did all they could in the action
Of the convention to discredit and
hamper the remainder of the Roose-
welt administration. 1t was only by
the united determination of Mr.. Taftt
followers that a good platform was
secured.
But this reactionary element Of the
party has far more power in Congress
than 1t has In a national convention.
With Cannon Speaker of the House
and Aldrich and his, coterie of spec
ial attorneys in the Senate, Mr.. Taft
would need something more potential
than big Stick" to do the work
that will be cut out for him. The
best thing that could happen to the
country or to Mr.. Taft personally
would be the election Of Democrat
ic House along with a Republican
President. The retirement Of those
who have allied themselves closely
with Speaker Cannon seems to be
about the only way to break up the
combination made against progressive
Republican policies. The retirement
of enough of these to secure the elec-
tion Of a Democratic Speaker would
give the next president a tremendous
advantage. In the last session of
Congress the President had better
support from the Democratic side
than he had from the Republican side
And things are working toward the
elimination of some of the Senators
who have aligned themselves with thu
Special Interests and against the ad
ministration. Now and then "stand
pat" Senator is reelected, but more
of them are retired. In due time, it
may be hoped, the people will regain
control of the Upper House. They
should regain control of the Lower
House in the next Congress.-Kansas
