PRESIDENTS NEW POLICY
viii Make No Distinction Between
Regulars and Progressives

Beverly, Mass, Sept 16.-Beverly
was not a little puzzled last night as
to the exact meaning of the letter
made pub ic here yesterday in which
Secretary Norton. rejecting the
views of President Taft. announced
that the policy Of withho,dirs pat
ronage from progressive" senator's
and represertqtivcs had heen aban-
doned and that II was the pprpose
of the administration to treat all Re
publicans alike. The letter was
written to an unnamed political lead
er In Iowa.
No Interpretation Of the document
could be obtained from official sour
ces. It was admitted that a variety
of interpretations might be placed up-
on II from the viewpoint of different
political observers but It was insisted
that the letter was simply a formal
announcement OF policy that soon
would have been discovered in vari-
Gus appcintmert Is of postmasters, etc.
that ore about tn be made in some Of
the progressive states.
The SUGGESTION that the letter
seemed to indicate turn toward the
"rr0oregs'ves" on the part of Presi-
dent Taft was met by a statement
that Mr.. Taft a'wavs has been pro
j eresslve" himself, and that his record
for progressive legislation written in
to the statute books during his first
wear in office has never been enualled
nv anv other Republican administra-
ton It was said that the president
wants to accomplish additional pro-
pressiye legislation at the coming
short session OF CONGRESS- and is anx-
ious to rally the full STRENGTH Of the
Republican majority for the meas
ures There Is also a disnosition in
/ Rever'y 10 regard the letter made
nubic today as further step in the
nrocess Of readiustment which has
heen going on for some time now in
circles close to the president.
II was not admitted at the execu-
/ tive Offices that recent progressive"
! srccess in states Ike Iowa Kansas,
California and Wisconsin had infiu-
/ erced the president Neither was II
admitted that results in these states
we're at all displeasing to the presi-
dent. Mr.. Taft declared last winter
that HE test NJ real Renublicanism
was support Of the martyrs national
! nlatform. All Of the progressive
states have announced fealty to this
program and the president is said 10
he more than willing to take the pro
oressive leaders AZ their word and he
assnred'v will give them an oppor-
tunity this winter TO carry some more
