ton Designed to Keep
Faith with Voters.

Washington. Jan. 5-while no for
White House to-day there was no At
tempt in administration circles To
deny that President Taft Is withhold
ing certain customary congregational
patronage from those "insurgent'
senators and representatives. who. the
adherents OF the President say, nhow
no disposition to support adininistra-
tion measures.
A number Of tho so-ca11ed "insur-
Eents" were out il interviews to-day
saying that they heartily agreed with
the Presidents program and asserting
that instead Of using the whip on
them. the President should use It On
those leaders who in the past had or-
posed the Roosevelt policies which Mr.
Taft is seeking to enact into law
On the part of tho President, Il was
said To-Day that the with hholdng Of
patronage does not apply TO all OF the
insurgents" and has absolutely moth
ing to do with their fight against
Speaker Cannon or the House rules.
Victor Rosewater. republican ma
tional committeeman from Nebrasks
ident Taft this afternoon and in nj
authorized interview said:
1.-THE President said to mo that h.
wanted me to help correct the report
that are being circulated to the effec
that he is using the patronage club /,

President says that there is a we'll founded
custom that has become almost a .uls

as postmasters the President should &C,
on recommendation of the members of
Congress In whose districts the appoint
inents lie if represented by member Of
the same political party. This obligation
resting on the President, however Is
reciprocal. he feels. The republican con-
gre ssman, he declares. Is under a similar
obligation to support administration
measures recommended by the President
to carry out platform pleges on which
both were elected. The President says he
has not turned down recommendations Of
insurEent congressman. but is simply
preserving the status quo to impress on
them their obligation"
Many OF the insurgents have told
the President that they would support
him in his legislative program bur
there are still few who seem dis
posed to carry on an absolutely indie
pendent attitude and who are gener-
ally against everything that the lead
ers Of the party are for To make
their position stronger. they are said
to be willing to ally themselves with
the democrats.
It is against these so-cnlled "rcoal-
