Mr.. Hilles issued statement to-
night declaring the confidence of tho
republican party In It's cause and can
didates. II follows
IIilles Statement.
The republican party approaches
the presidential campaign with con
fldence In the solemnity of its cause
and In the integrity and ability of the
candidates. who represent that cause.
Progress with order Is good doctrine
for the republican party today, as IL
has been since the day OF its birth.

an achievement. No American citizen
should be deceived into an exchange
of his birthright for n position. The
nations attitude toward better things
does not come from declaration, but
actual results. More has been accom-
plished in the last three years under
the administration of President Taft
than ever before accomplished by an

A Platform Difference.
"a distinct line of demarkation be-
tween the republican party and the
democratic party is revealed in the
platforms adopted at Chicago and
Baltimore. One Is an earnest promise
OF future progress through a record
OF achievements; the other a promise
containing a denial of the good that
has been done.
Upon the solid rocks of the rights
OF the individual as granted by the ex-
ecution the republican party builds
its structure of optimism. The demo-
cratic, on the other, on the sentiment
OF its address to the electoral betrays
its recessional quality by denying the
right of congress, a right again ana
again confirmed by the supreme court.
to establish protective duties for the
be nefit of American Industries. 1t de-
'clares as false the vital issue of the
constitutional liberties of the individ-
raj. Such liberties are now assailed
by those who advocate the overthrow
of the independence of the judiciary.
1t would leave the individual defense
less in the protection Of those rights
declared unalienable under the con-
stitution.
The subcommittee announced the
selection of Mr.. Hilles and Mr.. Rey-
nolds today after an hours session
with President Taft at the White
House and a few minutes conference
at down town hotel. Both were
chosen unanimously. President Taft
was plainly pleased with the commit
tees choice.
The subcommittee adjourned until
July 10, when 1t will meet in New
York. At that meeting 1t is probable
an advisory committee Of five men
and probably an executive committee
of eight or ten will be announced. Mr.
Hilles and other leaders were hopeful
tonight that the treasurer would be
named at the next meeting.
Although many members Of the SUBJ
committee left Washington after the
craftsmanship was settled, several stay
ed long enough to have short confer
ences with the president and his newly
elected campaign manager. They pro-
ceeded to organize Mr.. Tafts campa Sn
quite undisturbed by the report that
a number of progressive republicans
were going to circulate petitions to
ask him to withdraw from the ticket.
None of the committeeman regarded
that movement seriously, as II was
being proposed entirely by men who
had lost at Chicago. They ADMITTED
that the campaign would be Fought
bitterly, but among them there were
many expressions Of confidence in the
selection Of Mr.. Taft. The ease with
which the subcommittee buried Its
differences and unanimously named
Mr.. Hilles was pSinted out by them
as an indication of harmony.
"Mr. Hilies was the unanimous
choice of ALL" said William Barnes.
Jr., of New York, who had been con-
sidered for the place. I'VE threshed
the matter over and everyone agreed
that Hilles was the best man that
could be selected"
Charles B. Warren of Michigan.
member OF the subcommittee said the
selection OF Hilles would give general
satisfaction especially throughout the
