AMI RKUILAK HKI-l UI.ICAXS IX IHSTRI.'H'TIOX OF l'ATROX AOE?11K WANTS HARMONY. Beverly, Mass.. Sept. 1R.?Presi dent Taft hereafter will draw no dis tinction between insurgent and reg ular republicans in tho distribution of patronage. This was made clear today in a letter from the president rc certain of the Iowa Insurgent leaders which was made public at tlje summer white house by Secretary Norton. His letter says: "Your letters of the 9th are at band and 1 have delayed replying until after the primary elections. The president directs me express to you and to your friends his deep ap preciation for the work which you ha<e done, and tho powerful assist ance which you have extended to the administration from tho beginning ?an assistance that has contributed much to the legislative and other successes which have been secured. The president recognize* that your effcrt* have beer, wholly disinterest ed: that you have fought sturdily red ?er.ero?slr for what you believe to be his Inheres* red the welfare of the party. "While reprblfcan legislation pending In congress was opposed by certain republicans the president felt It to be his duty to the party and to the country to withhold fed eral patronage from certain sena tors and congressmen who seemed to he in opposition to the adminis tration's effort to carry out the prom ise of the party platform. "That attitude, however ended with the primary elections and nom inating conventions, which have now been held, and in which the voters havo had opportunity to 'd?>clare themselves. "The people have spoken and as the party faces the fall elections the question must be settled by repubu llcans of every shade of opinion whether the differences of the last session shall be perpetuated cr shall be forgotten. "He recognizes the danger that In certain cases expressions of feel ing were so Intense and to make It difficult In some instances for Tac tions to come together and work loyally for the party, but as he stated In his letter to the republican congressional committee he believes It can be done and should be done. The president is confident that you will yourself meet your local and state situation In this spirit and that you wllll write to your friends an<l ask them to do likewise. "The president feel3 thst the ue of federal patronage has greatly exaggerated and that tha^ fusal to grant It ha? probably *~n more uaeful to tho men affeited than the appointments would have been In the preliminary akirmlshes In certain states like Wisconsin and I low* and elsewhere, he was willing in the Interest of what the leaders believed would lead to party success to make certain discriminations; I but the president has concluded that i It is his duty to treat all repub lican congressmen and senstors alike, without any distinction He will bow follow the usual rule In republican congress districts and states and follow the recommenda tions by republican congressmen and senators of whatever shade of political opinion, only requiring that the men recommended shall be good men. the most competent and the best fitted for the particuisr 01 ficee. s ana he re Choir Proctire.
