The address Of President Taft to the
Beverly Republican club. Beverly.
Mass. Sept. 80 was as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Beverly Repub-
pean club and. am glad to say. my
,sllow citizens OF Beverly. / thank
vou for this cordial greeting. This
sinh suggests cue or two thoughts OF a
,olltlcaI character that did not touch
npon in the remarks | addressed to
vou on Saturday. II suggests the ne
cessI,y for renewed organization of the
Republican party under present condi-
tops The Republican party has been
successful for many years. think
the last national defeat we suffered
was In 1882. and that Is twenty years
$50. We have reached point where
n was natural that there should be
some gentlunen who were convinced
that their position In the party was
not all that they thought they were
entitled to have II and therefore they
were In favor OF sloughing or into a
third party Now. the danger In the
continuance In power for long time
10 the party itself is the jeaiousies. the
factions, the quarreis within the party
that long life and success are apt to
generate. and. while. OF course. third
party is a misfortune to the Repub-
ican party, In the loss of some votes
we must be philosophical and look at
this result on its good side as well as
on its bad side.
! conceive in respect of the life OF
the Republican party that secession Of
q third party is going to give Us new
vitality In the very feeling OF fight that
The Injustice of the claims of the third
party will arouse In Us as real Repub-
licans We know that we are a better
set Of men than we are now called by
those who were very glad at one time
10 be known as leading Republicans
We know that we stand In the nation
as the guardian OF those institutions OF
civil liberty under our constitution. the
preservation of which has made this
nation permanent and great. and that
nothing could come to this country of
greater political injury than such
split In the Republican party as would
destroy It.
The Importance of this campaign In
It's immediate result is great could
hardly state with more emphasis than
really believe the crisis that we now
face with reference to the continuance
Of prosperity In this country by reason
Of the vote that we are to have in No

san party IL IL essential that we
should continue and revitaiIze II as d
permanent party and permanent
force in this nation for the continuance
of the progress that has made It great
No student of history can deny that
The grandeur OF this nation and the
height that II has reached among ma
ions during the last sixty years has
been due to the guidance and the force
and the energy and enterprise OF the
Republican party. We propose to have
mat continue. We propose that the
torce represented by the Republican
party shall continue useful In the his
tory OF this nation. With that In mind.
! would urge upon you the necessity
tor closing up the ranks. finding out
who Is Republican. and who Is not,
and when you ind man who Is not
10 not count him in the party. One
VINO Is not loyal never helps.
There is no use. gentlemen. temporiz-
Ing about this matter. A man is Re
publican or be is not Is he going to
support the national ticket. and is he
going to support the state ticket? IL
Ne Is he is Republican, and II he Is
not be Is not Republican. Now. such
policy may cost us some votes but In
tne not distant future these gentlemen
VINO have deserted us in the hope OF
enjoying office. ON the one hand, or
millennium. on the other. will find
themselves without office. millennium
or party. They win feel bit lonely.
ana then when they come back to the
Republican party. as they viii come

means. but bringing forth works meet
