other important acts. during the first

some of which is bound to be COM
pleted
The fact of the matter is the ad-
ministration of President Taft, within
but few months over a year, has
seen more important legislation than
any preceding similar period The
president should have full credit for
his part in the splendid result, and
Republican leaders in congress should
also receive their share of credit
The recent results In Iowa and Wis
consin show that the misrepresenta-
lions of certain disgruntled newspa-
pers have not Influenced the people
to any appreciable degree. Both Iowa
and Wisconsin gave the president
splendid Endorsement, and the So
called progressive or insurgent move
ment in both states received a death
blow. La Toilette & Co. can no longer

Understand and Appreciate TAFT.
But Mr.. Taft has grown in popular
esteem all over the country, for the
people appreciate more and more
every day that he is working for the
best interests of all. He does not pro
pose to injure any business, but he
does propose to see that every one
that 1t shall be changed. That is the
kind Of president the people want and
the kind Of president the people pos
sess.
He is undoubtedly Strengthening the
party. just as in return the party has
been Strengthening him. And we no
longer have the claim that the next
house Of representatives is sure to be
Democratic. It has been said in these
letters repeatedly that as soon as the
people learned the truth about the
party and the president there. would
be no fear of Democratic success.
On the contrary. everything now
points to splendid Republican VIC
tory throughout the country next No
vember. With a deficit melting away.
with falling prices. with increased
earnings and with a general satisfac-
tion over the work of congress and
most successful administration there
is no issue for the Democrats to raise
with any hope of success.
On the other hand, the Republicans
will go before the country with three
distinct issues-the successful opera
tion of the tariff law, the legislation
of the present session, and the splen-
did administration of President Taft
Each of these issues will win the sup
port of every loyal Republican, from
Theodore Roosevelt down to the
humblest citizen, and that will; spell
success on the Sth of next November
People to BE Told the Truth.
The Republican congressional COM
mittee is awake to the situation and is
preparing to lay the truth before the
people in speeches. both printed and
spoken. All requests for speeches are
promptly granted. and already several
million copies of various pamphlets
have been distributed. And the effect
Is already apparent in the hundreds of
letters received by the committee
praising its methods and line of work.
1t seems a stupendous task to over
take and run down the misrepresenta-
ton that has gone forth. but the peo-
pie are fast learning the truth about
the tariff. about legislation in general
and about the preident. And these
facts are vote getters.
Then, too, the splendid work being
done by the National Republican
league under the direction of John
Hays Hammond is having a wonderful
effect throughout the country, the
young men especially rallying to the
Republican standard. The campaign
of 1910 is on and from now till the 9Th
OF November every Republican should
exert his best effort in spreading the
truth.

President Taft went west not to
preach political policies. but to ex-
pand upon broad social and industrial
themes. While he was away his poll
cies at Washington were at work.
These policies were active in manner
