For example, President Tafts speech
on the tariff, delivered at Winona, Mimi.
III September, 1903. is accepted by the
Republican Congressional Committee as
orthodox party doctrine
It declares the Aldrich-Payne act TO be
the best tariff law ever passed by
Congress. Millions Of copies Of this
speech will be circulated in the coming
campaign The speech OF Joseph G. Can
non. defending Cannonism. delivered be-
fore the Knife and Fork Club OF Kansas
City some weeks ago. has also been ap-
proved as a campaign document. The
insurgents may take these speeches and
others OF a like nature for use in their
districts or let them alone. just as they
see At.
Taft May Speak.
President Taft has expressed satisfac-
ton with the style Of campaign. and II
he follows the advice Of certain leaders.
he will start the bah rolling in one Of
the speeches that he is 10 make on his
forthcoming Western trip. It is the gen

Chairman Mckinley said yesterday the
campaign TO be waged this year would be

said Chairman Mckinley. Il have never
/ entered a contest where I was more hope
! full of success. However, II is well to be
up and doing in politics. no matter
how rosy the prospects may appear. We
will put an army Of orators in the field
and flood the country with literature
breathing of good. old-time Republican
doctrine. You may rest assured there
will be a good deal doing in this cam
paign. which is. in reality, already under
way"
/ Never in any previous campaign have
/ the Republicans made such ambitious
plans to tell their side of the story in

out n.G50Oo0 pieces of literature That
/ was the high-water mark UP TO that

Ii is planned to circulate approximately
/ 100000 pieces Of literature this year

certain States in other sections where
things are believed to be little 'shaky'

this matter viii so into districts repre-
| scented by insurgents will depend upon the
| insurgent candidates themselves.
