NEW YORK, Aug. %. president
Taft's letter to w. B. Mckinley
chairman of the Republican congress.
sional committee, was made public last
night by tn eNew York headquarters
of the committee. The president in
the communication says that differ
ences between Republicans should be
forgotten in the congressional cleo
ton and that "all Republicans who be-
lieve in the party principles as de-
clared in its NATIONAL platform Of 1908
should give the candidates loyal and
effective support Ii this Is done there
will be no doubt of return OF the
Republican majority"
AS to the tariff, the president says:
II seems to me that all Repub-
licans-conservative, progressive,
and radical-may well abide the
situation with respect to the
tariff until evidence now being
accumulated shall justify changes
In the rates.
Mr.. Tafts plan for revision by con-
gress OF individual schedules, after
investigation by the tariff commits
sion. Is discussed in this connection.
The president reviews the more inn
portant legislation enacted by con-
gress, in fulfillment of it's promises,
and says '1t is of the utmost import
ance to make this campaign of edu-
cation as to facts and clear away the
clouds of Misrepresentation that have

For example: During the recent
primary campaign, in which Sibley
spent the mooted $42,500, an ennis
sary of his went to the keeper of a
general store in Stoneboro, Mercer-co.
and offered him $4,000 to take

Hence 1t is clear as to how the af-

he was called to Franklin and told
that unless he used his influence for
Sibley the refining company would
cancel its contract with the mine, thus
necessitating a close-down till some
new and problematical market could
be found, and, of course, entailing loss
and perhaps ruin to the storekeeper,
whose prosperity depended on the
prosperity OF the mine.
At last report the mine was still

That's one of Standard Oils
methods. A simpler one is to go to
some farmer and hire him to be pres
ent at the polls with his horse and
buggy on election day. or course the
horse and buggy are never needed for
the dissemination OF information"
but then the rig is there in reserve in
case of unexpected lack of informa-
ton IN some quarter, and the owner
is there too, in fine good humor be-
carse of the "v' or the tx" that rep
resents the hire of the rig. It's
natural that he should vote, and equal
~ natrra. that he should vote one
way and not another.
Still another way Is the wholesale
method. The management OF
lubricating oil plant in Oil City, or
perhaps of a steel plant in Sharon,
issues letter to the, employees of the
plant setting forth the advantages
that will accrue TO the business IL the
election goes one way, and the dire

And his enemies are numerous.
Practically all the "old guard in In

Fairbanks, Hemenway, and the friends
of these, in the state and in Washing
ton, are burning midnight oil to think
of ways to "do" Beveridge. They hate
insurgency. and they hate Beveridge
with personal, bitter hatred. At the
present time they are assembling as
best they can. They are shrewd
enough TO know that the one chance
to avert an overwhelming Democratic
landslide--a landslide which would
result In a new apportionment OF the
state, and turn over the Offices and
spells for years to come-is TO let the
fight be made under the banner of
insurgency. Then as camp followers
they might hope to get near enough
to grab a portion of the spells.
Hence the conspicuous and impos-
ing brand OF harmony on exhibition at
headquarters. In the main waiting
room OF the Republican committee

SYSTEM AIMS TO
KNIFE BEVER|DGE
|mdiana's Old Guard Schemes Sc
cretly To Use Insurgent Leader
To Get Votes.
BY gibson GARDNER.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. 29.-In-
~0na Is an insurgent state. IL is all
for Senator Beveridge.
III IL were not insurgent, IL would
De Democratic, II prefers insurgency
as the stronger brand OF protest.
The object of Indiana's protest Is
the system.
The voters OF the state are against
the Aldrich tariff, the Cannon rules,
kRllinger. the Wickersham railroad
bill, tariffs for the rubber trust. and
the higher cost OF living. They are
for insurgency because insurgency Is
against these things.
Incidentally Indiana Is against Taft,
because Taft was not against these
things. The state never was entIiusi-
hstic about Taft. II went for Taft
two years ago by 1871 votes; Roose-
Eelt's majority four years before was
DIS, 944.
And this was In spite of the fact
hat 100000 was sent into Indiana by
he Republican national committee
bnd was spent more or less corruptly.
So 1t will be seen that Taft was
not popular In Indiana even when he
bad the backing and Endorsement or
Theodore Roosevelt
Indiana has a Democratic govern
pr, one Marshall, who was elected by
1000 majority at the time Taft got
bis 1871. Two-thirds OF the mayors
)f Indiana are Democratic, as well as
b large proportion OF the county and
judicial officers The last legislature
in Indiana was Democratic by IA
Votes. In consequence IL retired the
Republican stand-pat. senator, James
n, Hemenway, and sent in his place
Democrat, Benz. F. Shively.
The same election sent II ont or Is
pemomratic congressman to Wash
)ngton.
Total result: Reputation OF
The Fairbanks Hemenway-Wat ma
ehine; the state practically a Demo
cratic state.
But Indiana's Democracy was only
premonitory symptom OF its insur-
kency. Two years ago there was no
Visible insurgent movement and the
nsurgent feelings was TO vote the
Democratic ticket. which it did.
Predicts Victory For 6everidee.
Now IL has two ways to make its
Protests felt. Beveridge is the insur-
tent candidate for the senate, and
here are Republican and Democratic
tate tickets to be voted on. The
otter can indorse Beverage by voting
br Beveridge candidates for the state
legislature, and he can, IL he likes,
cratch the rest Of the state ticket.

Ina voter Is a great hand to scratch.
