Preparing Statement for the
Coming Campaign, De-
fining Position.
FUSE TWO FACTIONS
Believes That Party Fac
lions May Be Persuad-
ed to Work Together

beverly, MASS, aug. Co. he
president is taking a very lively in
terest in the congressional campaign.
The plan of the campaign and the
activities of candidates are engaging
his attention. Although he has been
told that it seems next to impossi-
BILE to elect a republican house in
November, the president persists
that there is yet some hope. He be-
lieves the party factions may be per-
suaded to work together before the
10 weeks between now and election
day have passed.
He continues his attitude of digni-
fed silence about the Roosevelt cpl
sode in New York politics, and shows
that he is more concerned in getting
out a good letter for the congress
sional campaign book.
This letter is expected to indicate
how far he is willing to go in con-
ciliating the insurgents. When Vice
President Sherman visited the presi-
dent last week to ask for this letter
he departed declaring for a
straight republican campaign and
announcing that he would soon fare
forth into the west to preach 1t.
There is much interest as to 1whe-
Their the president will be as specific.
1t is said at Beverly that Presi-
dent Taft will point to the fact that
all of the legislation he has recon-
mended and which has been enacted
has been in line with the progressive
policy he outlined at the beginning
of his administration.
So far as he consistently can do
so, the president will endeavor to
placate all factions of the party. He
believes the party already is NOV
ing ahead and he wants all its mem
bers to pull at the oars
| AS to the tariff, President Taft, it
is believed, will lay chief importance
on the results that it is hoped Will
be accomplished through the work
of the new tariff commission. The
party platform called for revision
| of the tariff on the basis of difference
in the cost of production here and
abroad with a fair profit to the pro-
Queer. It also called for ''immedi-
ate revision" and the public demand
ed immediate revision. In bringing
about immediate revision it was OBJ
viously impossible to make that re-
vision absolutely ideal.
The president will point out what
he believes to be the good features
of the Payne-Aldrich act and will
declare that thorough revision
based on the mass of information the
tariff commission will collect, will
undoubtedly be had if the republican
party is kept in power.
| The outcome of the LOngworth
statement, asserting that the Gin
cinnati congressman would not sup
| DOTI SdIlOu lOl ICCiCStAoh ~~
speaker, has been something of
disappointment at Beverly.
Although it was given out as Mr..
lLongworth's own, the circumstances
of it's appearance made it almost an
administration product. The presl-
dents friends believed it would be
followed by many similar declara-
lions from republican candidates OF
the house. They expected these
would be sufficiently numerous TO
show plainly the hopeless character
of Mr. Ca1con's aspirations.
No such avalanche of declarations
| has appeared and the Longworth let
ter was blanketed by the stirring de-
velopments in New York politics.
