 My Dear MT Mckinley: As chair man of the national republican con sressional committee, you have asked me to give the reasons which should lead voters in the coming November election to cast their ballots for the republican candidates for congress.
 THE PRESENT QUESTION.
 -I assume that when this is giver publicity and the lines be drawn, the party candidates will have been SC Iected and the question to be decided will be whether we shall have in the house of representatives a republican or a democratic majority. The ques- ton then will be not what complexion of repubIicanism one prefers ana whether it is better for the country to have the republican party to con trol the legislation for the next two ises or democratic majority in the house either to interpose veto ol renublican measures or formulate ano pass bills to carry out democratic principles. Prominence has been giver during the preliminary canvass jus ended to differences between the re publicans. but in the election sucf differences should be forgotten
 WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
 "Differences within the party have been manifested in the two sessloni of the present congress yet, never II history has the republican part! passed and become responsible for al much useful progressive legislation

 Tt is important that after the re publican congress candidates hay been chosen, all the republicans wh believe in party principles should giv their candidates loyal and effectlV support. If this be done, there WI he no doubt of the return of repub lican majority. The only alternativ is a democratic majority.
