Silent as to what has been accom-

the administration Of President Taft
and the record of the last Congress-
particuIsray the Payne-Aldrich tarin
bin. and an intfmatton is given that
more wiItsbeaeaidnon the latter subject
later.
Aaa whole the. address is in line
with sl1H pzan of campaign outlined by
yAl1e Repubncans Congressional Campaign
aCommittee and submitted to the execu-
tive committee OF the State Repub-
1fcan Committee by Congressman Lou
sdenaHger eat the last meeting Of that
body.
Couuu,atfses Shouldn't Anticipate.
One of Chairman Murphy's reasons
for remaining silent so far as the
State administration Is concerned is
the fact that a State convention will
be, hssd this year to nominate a candi-
date for Governor. and he does not
consider ft expedient or proper for the
State committee,*o anticipate what the
convention may have to-say concern
ing State policies.
The address In full follows:
ITO the People of New Jersey:
az have been requested by the execu-
tive committee of the Republican State
COMMITTEE to call your attention to the
great work that has been accomplished
BY q Republican Congress and Re-
publican President
ssLet me begin with an illustration.

OF his quiet, gigantic. resistless power.
as he is moving smoothly on with his
great burdenio of national problems.
"He startedsout to get things, to have
laws made. to fulfil Republican prom
isGs, to meet the public demands. and
in this great work he must reconcile
factions and get peoples heads to-
getfer without knocking-must hold
trresistfbiy to his own safe course
and draw in the extremists from every
direction and persuade them to work
together with him.
Praises Abe Linco1n's Work.
Abraham Lincoln is the only other
statesman this country has produced
with Taft's power of Harvesting wild
horses into steady and vigorous team.
Taft found the Republican Congress
badly divided against itself. and he
remembered Lincoln's warning that "a
house divided against itself cannot
stand.~ Quietly, pleasantly. gracefully.
unswervingiy, he has held on his course,
and has influenced all factions to work
with him. He has brought the great
ship smoothly UP to her dock, with the
sftchest results that one session Of Con-
gress ever presented to the American
kpeopie.
'-This Republican Congress has given
the American people railroad bill
(which Is wise and strong and safe be-
yond previous conception. The three
HAreat&provisions Of this bill are:
''That It not only puts railroad rates
directly under government control. but
It fopi5ids the raising of rates until
later the Commerce Commission has

'That It creates. a special commerce
uc0irt to which the people can instant

staSlroad charges.
"That 1t provides q special investi-
.gu&sng committee on the issue of rail-
road stocks. that the watering OF Sc
scurities maybe prohibited, and that the
people may know the values of the
stocks which they buy in the market.
''The Republican Congress- has given
the American people another great ad-
vantage in their use OF public service
corporations. by bringing the telegraph

Of the interstate commerce act.

what Congress Has Done.
"phis Republican Congress has shown

''It has placed a special tax OF thirty
or forty millions year on corporations.
s'It has passed tariff bill which has
been declared Ivy President Taft the
best tariff bill ever passed--of which
