The address of President Taft to the |
Beverly Republican Club, Beverly, |
Mass, Sept 3, was as follows:
Gentlemen of the Beverly Republi- !
can club and, am glad to say, my fell |
low citizens of Beverly, l thank you |
for this cordial greeting. This club !
suggests one or two thoughts Of po-
Mtical character that / did not touch
upon In the remarks / addressed to
you ON Saturday. 1t suggests the ne-
cessity for renewed organization OF the
Republican party under present condi-
tons. The Republican party has been
successful for many years. / think
the last national defeat we suffered
was in 1892, and that is twenty years
ago. We have reached point where
it was natural that there should be
some gentlemen who were convinced
that their position In the party was
not all that they thought they
we're entitled to and therefore they
were in favor of sloughing o. into
third party. Now, the danger in the
continuance In power for long time
to the party itself is the jealousies,
the factions, the quarrels within the
party that long life and success are
apt to generate, and, while, OF course.
a third party Is misfortune to the
Republican 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
a 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
Republicans. We know that we are
better set OF men than we are now
called by those who were very glad at
| one time to be known as leading Re-
publicans. We knew 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 In
jury than such q split in the Republi-
can party as would destroy it.
| The Importance of this campaign in
| its 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
vember, but there Is something be
yond November with respect to the
Republican party. 1t is essential that
we should continue and revitalize it AZ
a permanent party and a permanent
force In this nation for the continu
ance Of the progress that has made II
great No student of history can deny
that the grandeur of this nation and
the height that it has reached among
nations during the last sixty years hal
been due to the guidance and the force
and the energy and enterprise Of thu
Republican party. We propose to have
that continue. We propose that th'
force represented by the Republican

There is no use, gentlemen, temper
