REUNITING THE REPUBLICAN

/ an 4 l.
The Springfield Republican views the
possible reunion Of the opposing factions
in the Republican party as possible:--
Speculation Immediately arises as to
the relations between President Taft and
the insurgent group in Congress during
the coming short session, The insm
gents are reported to be ready to recon-
ellie their differences with the admins
tration and become good administration
men, provided that the president will
recognize them, consult with them and
receive them at the White House on the
same terms as the old guard. If one
can judge from the celebrated Norton
letter on federal patronage, which was
sent to an insurgent congressman last
summer, there ought to be no difficulty
in making the insurgents feel at home
in the presence of Mr.. Taft. The presi-
dent has shown disposition, surely, to
harmonic the two wings of the Repub-
lean party and make the best of the
situation which the elections have
brought about"
There probably is no one in the coun-
ellis Of the party who is better fitted to
bring the insurgents and "stand-patters"
together than President Taft. His very
nature is conciliatory, and he goes at
delicate duty of this sort in judicious
manner, having due consideration to the
claims of both sides to the controversy.
AS president of the United States and
elected by the Republican party, he is
in a peculiarly favorable position to end
the warfare right now. Here is Taft's
to become the leader Of his
party in fact, as well as in name.
