AS the chairman of the national
congressional Republicans. you have
asked ME to give the reasons which
should lead voters In the coming. Mo-
vember election to cast their ballots
for Republican candidates for con
gress.
Il assume that when this letter is
given publicity the lines will be
been selected, and the question for
decision will be whether we shall
have in the house of representatives
Republican or a Democratic major
ity.
The question, then. will be not
what comnlexion of Republicanism
one prefers. hut whether it is better
for the country to have the Republi-
can party control the legislation for
the next two wears and further re-
deem its promise, or to enable q
Democratic majority in the house
either TO interpose a veto to Repub-
lican measures. or to formulate and
pass bills to carry out Democratic
principles. prominence has been CIV
