New York, Oct. 2.-Charles D. Hilles,
chairman of the Republican National
committee, and as UGH in direct charge
of the campaign for the reelection of
President Taft, recently had series
of important political conferences in
Philadelphia. AS the guest of William
T.. Tilden, president of the Union
League, he disc" ~sed with che member
Of that staunch Taft organization. sug-
gested ways and means looking toward
a successful fight in Pennsylvania. More
detailed and intimate conferences with
State Chairman WATSON ad with Con-
gressman J. Hampton Moore, who has
charge Of the congressional campaign
were held in the course Of the day.
Mr.. Hitler said that he saw the pres
ident in New York Tuesday. II gave
to him an account Of the work that has
been done and the results thus far
achieved" said Mr.. Hitler, speaking of
his interview with President Taft. HE
expressed his satisfaction with the sit
uation and I found him in a most con-
fident frame of mind. In common with
all other observers Of the trend Of po-
ltical developments, he has noted the
decided change Of sentiment which has
been in evidence for ten days or two
weeks. That President Taft is much
stronger today than he has been two
weeks ago is admitted even by those
Republican party
The real issues of the campaign grad
ually are coming to the foreground, as
the disgusting personalities which have
characterized the campaign waged by
Colonel Roosevelt and Governor john
son, are being relegated to the rear by
a discriminating public that has tired
of attacks upon and Insults to individ-
uals, of schemes born of selfish desire
and ambitions. The American public
is turning to the serious questions of
the day and these are the questions
involved in the continuance Of splen
did prosperity which has come to bless
this country under the calm, courageous
progressive and well-balanced admins
tration Of William Howard Taft. Am
erican prosperity is inseparable from the
maintenance Of the Republican tariff
policy which although recognizing exist
ing inequalities and anxious to adjust
them, will not subscribe to the expe-
dent Of burning down the barn for the
sake of procuring mess Of roast pig.
For the sake of the American working
man and the American employer, the
protective policy, based on the differ
ence between the cost of production
at home and abroad. must be main.
tained Without it there can be no high
standard of living, no high standard OF
wages and salaries. The tariff anc
prosperity are the live and vital issue:
Of the day, and Mr.. Wilson'S running
mate, Governor Marshall of Indiana
did his country real service when, a:
in Maine, he pointed out that the Dem
ocratc doctrine in that regard is that
protective tariff is unconstitutional, ane
that the Democratic national platform
so declared. Until Gov. Marshall tool
his uneuuivocal position in Maine. TIL
tide there was running against the Re
publican party. Then he made his posi-
ton clear, it turned promptly and ire
sistibly toward the republican party, ant
transformed a. possible defeat into
Republican victory.
And so it will be in the other Repub
lican states, where the sentiment is
gradually crystalizing, until today tn
Republican tariff policy, as enunciate,
: by the Republican platform and elab
GRATED by President Taft, has made it
appeal to the manufacturer and tn
worldngman, who are determined tina
no irresponsible tariff tinkerin@ on
for-revenue-only basis shall be permit

: national prosperity.

candidacy Of President TAFT has beel

Rooseveltism which was regarded wit
dread by the thoughtful people Of tn
country. Thousands and thousands o
Republicans, devoted adherents Of tn
