ENDS WAR ON INSURGENTS.
President Taft Declares That Patron
age Door Will Hereafter Be Open
to All Sides.

Beverly, Mass.-No difference be-
tween so-called Progressively and
Regulars" will be recognized by Pres
ident Taft hereafter, but all partyslead-
ers will be treated alike as Republic
ans in the matter of federal support.
The presidents views to this effect
are given in letter from Secretary
Norton to Republican leader of
Iowa. whose name is not disclosed.
In the letter Secretary Norton
stated that while important Republic
an legislation pending in congress
was opposed by certain Republican
leaders, the president felt that his
duty required him to withhold federal
patronage from senators and repre-
sentatives who seemed to occupy a
position hostile to efforts to fulfill
the pledges Of the party platform.
That attitude on the part of the
president ended, however, with the
more recent primary elections and
nominating conventions to which the
people have declared themselves, and
the president now looks upon PRO
gressives" and Regulars" alike as
Republicans and as such entitled to
his support and the support of the
party, and the fall elections, Secre-
tary Norton's letter says, must set
tie the question whether the differ
ences of the last session of congress
shall be perpetuated or forgotten.
Among those from whom, It is said,
the president temporarily withheld
federal patronage were Senators La
Toilette, Bristow, Dolliver and Cum
Minis and Representative Hubbard Of
Iowa.

Complexion of State.

Augusta, Me.-Col. Frederick w.
Plaisted. mayor of this city, was elect
ed governor at the election held in
this state Monday. The Democrats
have probably elected four congress
men and it is likely that they will
have a majority in the state legisla-
ture.
That state issues. notably the dras-
tic enforcement of the prihibitory law
by the party in power, have been
chiefly responsible for the election of
Plaisted, is freely admitted on both
sides and this result is not much OF a
surprise to close observers, but that
the political complexion of Maine rep.
resentation in congress should be
changed is regarded as the verdict of
the voters on the questions which are
uppermost in the Insurgent west.
Should the legislature prove to be
Democratic it is altogether likely that
the question of maintaining the pro-
hibitory law will be submitted to the
people and of course Democrat will
succeed Eugene Hale in the United
States senate. f,E-. s.
