Republicans have been doing some

The President and conare.s.

Speaking at the New York State
Fair on September 18th, former Presi-
dent Roosevelt said:
The president of the United States,
Mr.. Taft, has served his country hon.
| orably and uprightly in many posi-.
tions--as Judge, as governor of the
philippines, as secretary of war, and
| now as president-for to him and the
congress acting with him we owe the
| creation OF tariff commission, the
| adoption OF maximum and minimum
| tariff law treaties with foreign pow
ers, the proper treatment Of the
Philippines under the tariff, the In
crease In the efficiency of the inter
state commerce law, the beginning OF

Ing for the exercise OF the taxing
power In connection with corpora
tons doing an interstate business, a
postal savings bank bill, the consti-
tuition of commission to report n
remedy for overcapitalization in con-
nection with the issue of stocks and
bonds"
It's a good record worthy OF the
commentator. No congressional
record surpasses 1t for accomplish
ment OF useful and progressive re.
suits. There is one way and only one
way to make certain the continuance
OF Legislation for the public good and
that Is to return Republican major
