campaign textbook. The letter, ad-
dressed to Chairman William b Nc

in the st. James building, was given

Of a party platform in the campaign

dent the President intended il for
such.
Assuming that party candidates will
have already been selected by the
time his letter is published, the Ques-
ton will be. says Mr.. Taft, mot what
complexion of Republicanism one pre-
ferS, but whether il is better for the
country to have the Republican party
control the legislation for the next
two years and further redeem its
promises, or to enable a Democratic
majority in the House either TO in
terpOse a veto to Republican measures
or TO formulate and pass bills TO carry
out the Democratic principles"
To Mr.. Roosevelt Mr.. Taft gives the
credit for arousing public interest on

One Opinion i'm q. .. Il. Camp.
WASHINGTON, ID. Especial
There is but one opinion at Republi-
can headquarters here regarding
made public today, and that is that il
sounds a keynote of harmany.
The fact that the President makes
no criticism of the House insurgents
strued by officials at Republican head
quarters TO mean that the President
wants the Congressional Committee &c
help the insurgents with the same en-
thuSlaSm as that given the regulars.
1t will be recalled that just before
Congress adjourned the regulars. who
control the Congressional Committee
gave il out that the insurgents need
expect no help from the committee
but the Presidents letter makes IL
lear that he does not sanction such
action. 1t was said today that the
Congressional Committee will now
urn in and work for the election OF
Jhe Insurgents who have been renomi-
mated. At Democratic headquarters
there was not much comment on the
letter. 1t was remarked. however.
that the President had established a
precedent, but what effect il would
nave on the campaign was profile
NAUTICAL.
