Hitherto Active Regular Repub- IIcan Afflliaies With the
 Roosevelt Party
Hon. J. W. AlsOp, Avon. Conn. . s

Dear Senator:-
 | learn through the press that you are interested in reforming politics and you intend to put your shoulder Ito the wheel and assist in getting it. out of the rut and mire that is tor day disgusting the American people.
 Your effort is an honorable One.' Politics has been played and fooled diagusted and discouraged.
 This community of interest and polf- Rical masonry. conducted Tn the twi- Night and in the watches of the night behind bolted doors and screens and lexpect the American people to accept it, is beyond all human reason. -s
 Politics is the substances of filings hoped for and the evidence af things mot seen Platforms are made to get lin on, and not to stand on Beati- ltudes are handed out to the people with Bible rhetoric, and after the set ting of the first sun, confirming their appointments, they have fOrgotten' their pledges. and also have the peo- ple; and they go into this p6lfficaI ipasture and feed upon it in seIected iherds-
 In the Civil war was tenf years old n remember the excitement and the interest," it seems to me the people lare as much disturbed now as then; lit is possible that more people effect this comparison.
 We have a Republican party that drove out the Whig fifty years ago: fwe now need a progressive party to iare dead and unburied; they have had "a good time and a great feast hut tonly asfew at the banouets@@ t Z 4hu ss
 voted for Mfr. Taft after forty years in the faith and thought him leood. beefy and brainy He was like | a lost sheep among a drove of cattle, ldodsing around, excited and noisy. Somebody should have. told him he Twas President. yet who he is don't Know-dol you knoW2 He seemed to- acquire the disciiareing power or Iear- ry 1t out, for he removed Prof Wiley lone of the best men this country ever had We. are not informed why.
 Recently he has discharged the As- hsiatRnt Secretary of Treasury, Mir. Andrew for spending a week at thel NNEr- Taft showing his duty for carel and expense: and yet Senator Lodge kasl<s to keep it out of Congress, for ht would harm the party.
 If papers are correct. MT: Taft took "a 5auntirlg trip over the entire coun- fry In a private car for month. paid | by the Government, that he received | in salary during that month $6,250. ! Has he frebated this? To be. consis- | tent to MT. Taft. they are to let him March. and discharge him without a recommendation
 AZ to Woodrow Wilson. he looks | honorable and wise. He is school teacher. and I think there is a mark cd difference in handling boys under age and men like Joe Cannon. ElihuI Root and Senator Iorimer and other corporation lawyers I think he re- ouires special training. His tariff views might harm the country, for factories must run and farmers SOW
 As to Colonel Roosevelt, he certainly has been an open fighter, and to him nM men nook alike and heredityu and environment does not Influence him. These great editors that have writ len SO much about, him are asshamedl 70 sign their names or write at the bottom of their articles Paid Adver-
 They have written columns on the s'third ferm' question. What a hein- GUS crimat case for the Grand Jury. @ If time limits in Government ser-4 vice Is t8ecessary, why not extend it | to the House of Representatives and the U. S4 Senate and government off fcials. and also to editors of newspa-
 Col. Roosevelt is human and has faults. 4et he is great man and plays fair: the people have his confi- dence. and he has theirs He's the man of the hour and will put his mindj and soul and body in the work and rule with justice and honor.
 I bespeak for your hearty co-opera- .ion-
 Sincerely yours. GEORGE E. wINToN.
