WASHINGTON. March e.-Presldenf Taft |
has given his approval 20 plans that have |
lust been perfected by the Republican |
landera under which the Rspublican |
campaign 10 he conducted next fall Tor |
the control Of the House Of Representa- |
tives In the new Congress shall be wAged |
along lines Of strict regularity. In other
vorda. all the literature that II prepared
for circulatioA In the coming campaign By
tho Republican Congressional committee
and all the speeches delivered undSr
the auspices OF that orgAnizAtiOn viii
advocate straight Republican doctrine 40
DISTINGUISHED from Democratic policies
and policies advocated by tho Republican
insurgents In tho Senate and In the House.
The plan Of campaign 70 Be fought
by the Republican congressional COM
mittee was submitted TO the President
in detail by Representative William b.
Mckinley oG Illinois. chairman Of that
organization.
Il may BE- stated On authority that no
Republican nominee will be opposed at
the polls by the Republican Congressional
committee. but notice will be served
ON tho insurgents by the leaders that
all the campaign literature will be reg
uar' and that all tho speakers that take
the stump under the direction Of Chair
man Mex inley will talk along lines APP
proved oy the Republican leadership In
Congress. AZ q practical proposition this
means that In a large measure the dyed
in the wool insurgents who opposed tho
passage Of the tariff bill and who have de-
nounced Cannonism Gun expect little
help from the Republican Congressional
committee in their campaigns for re-
election.
For example President Taft's speech |
on the tariff. delivered at winona, MINI. |
in September. 1879. 10 accepted by the
Republican congressional committee ~ |
orthodox party doctrine. IL declares |
the Aldrich- Payne act TO be the best |
tariff law ever passed by Con gress.
Millions OF copies Of this speech will be
circulated in the coming campaign. The
speech OF Joseph a. Cannon defending |
Cannonism. delivered before the Knife
and Fork Club OF Kansas City some weeks
aeo has been also approved n a cam
paign document. The insurgents may /
take these speeches and others % a like
nature for use in their Districts OF LEI
them alone. Just ~ they see nc.
President Taft has expressed satisfact-
ion with this style Of campaign. and IL he
follows the advice Of certain leaders he
will start the ball rolling in one 81 the /
spe~cncs that he In 20 make on his forth
coming Western trip, u ~ the general
understanding that Mr. Taft ~ prepared
to say some pretty harsh things about
the insurGent Republican movement In
Chairman Mckinley said to-day that
the campaign TO be waged this year would
be the most vigorous ever conducted by
the Republicans. The battle ground
Of spsllbinders will be sent into that
section a. soon n CongresH adiourn~ and
kept in action until the polls close IN
November The Chautauqua belt,
around which senators la Toilette.
nave travelled for years. will be- invaded |
by regular Republicans. there 10
strong probability that Speaker Cannon /
may Be Induced 20 appear on the Chau- /
tauqua circuit. He has under consadera-
speeches from platforms that have been
adorned by senator la Toilette.
Tho Republican congressional com
mietee has booked twenty regular orators |
for l2S speeches in Chautauqua. in the
middle West during July and August
BookinRs will also 6e made in the same /
section for regular Republican speakers
Tor September and October.
Our campaign this year will he the /
most comprehensive ever undertaken |
by a political party IN the United states.
said Chairman Mckinley. Il have never en-.
tered a contest where WAS more hopeful !
Of success. However 10 ~ well 60 h up |
and doing in politics. no mattsr how rosy |
the prospects NAV appear. We will put |
an army OF orators into the Geld and Hood
the country with literature breathing
OF good old time Republican doctrine. |
You NAV rect assured that there will be q
good deal doing in this campaign. which
10 In reality already under way"
Never In any previous campaign have
the Republicans made such ambitious
plans 20 tell their side OF the story in
document form la the four months
prior TO the national election IN 1893
the Republican Congress- com mtttee sent
out ~ 10000 pieces OF hteraturs. That
was the high water mark mp to that time.
II 10 planned to circulate Approximately
S. 600 OOo pieces OF literature this year.
This tremendous volume Of paper will be
rejected toward the middle West and In
certain States in other sections where
things are believed TO be a little -shaky
for the Republicans. just how much OF
this matter will 90 into districts repre-
scented by insurgents will depend on the
Insurgents candidates themselves.
In the paA the committee has sent out
millions Of copies OF bulky speeches. An
innovation will he inaugtirated this year.
A number Of speeches delivered by the
President and other party leaders have
been selected for circulation, but 20 far
aa possible the COMMITTEES will limit ITSELF
To the uae Of brief. snappy statements
devoted 70 issues that are expected 20 lie
discussed. Tho COMMITTEES will circulate
in large quantities documents on various
topics that may be placed IN q vest pocket
rather than tho long drawn ont speeches
that have been 90 popular in the past
While Chairman Mckinley 10 not dis
posed TO discuss the subject at length at
this time ne makes u plain that he u in an
optimistic frame Of mind and he init
mated to-day that ths Prssidsnt In con-
vincsd that his administration will be-
indorssd By the people In the November
