Presidents Plan Is to End War

In Effort to Obtain Concerted ActionAmong Republicans with Regard-to lila Legislative RecommendaHOWl Excenilve Will Induce ProfrreiaireM to Get Back in FoldLetter to Norris Lays Down Law

Efforts to draw President Taftinto the troubles that have besetSpeaker Cannon and the organization of the House of Representatives have met it is said yithfailure

The President his friends sayhas declined to take a hand in thecontroversy between Mr Cannonhis followers and Republican insurgents

There have been many reportsinvolved in a good deal of gossip-

as to how the President stood withreference to the fight of the insurgents A large part of this was incorrect It became known yesterday however just what the Presidents position was

TO MIX UPMr Titft it was explained sot In

tend to get mixed up in anyfight Involving the Republicans of ttoRouse of Representatives or In any fac-

tional controversy between the Republi-

can organization of the Senate and theRepublican insurgents f that body

His attitude is that factional troubsof that character involving the rgnizat-lon or modes of prdare la one rrtho other of the two Houses dose notconcern the President ot the UnitedStates

There seems to have no change-in the course which he adopted at thebeginning of his f Whatthe President wants it is said is concerted action among the Republicans cfthe Senate and the House with regard totho recommendations which he hasplaced before Congress

Anxloua HarmonyThey may fight as much as they please

among themselves over matters local tothe organization of the Senate or theHouse but in considering and adoptinglegislation advocated by the President inaccordance with pledges given in the na-

tional campaign of 1908 he is anxioushave harmonious party spirit so thatthese pledges may be redeemed All hisefforts will be toward that end

Incident to the knowledge gained bythe Presidents attitude It was declared-in an authoritative quarter that he is rotholding the big stick over the heads ofRepublican members of the Hoube

they fatted to vote for the tariffbill pawed by Congress at tho specialsession

It was said also that he had no hardfeelings for any member of Congressbecause be had opposed Speaker Cannon-or declined to be bound by caucus action

But all this does not moan that thePresident Intends to sit Idly by and letthe Republican members of Congresslambast the Taft administration on theChautuqua circuit or andtry to create sentiment which will bedetrimental to the admI ltraUona suc

In the opinion of the President thereshould considerable doubt as towhether a man who opposed the Presi-

dents legislative programme and the Re-

publican pertys rational platform wasreally a member of the Republican partyIf with this test applied he Is regardedas not being jt nmber of that partythen the President cannot see why hoshould be treated as such

It is evident that Mr Tart has In mindthe chastening of those recalcitrant Re-

publicans who have jumped the partysreservation and are trying to create sen-

timent against the policies advocated bythe President which he regards himselfas pledged to carry out through his ad-

herence to the Republican platform of1508

He has a plan In mind to Induce the Insurgents to get back Into the party foldand thero Is reason to believe the Pre i

dent feels It will be successful Whattho details of the plan are was not madeknown but the understanding is that MrTaft will not recognize In matters ofpatronage or in other ways those Re-

publicans who insist on attacking Republican policies

Does Not Want to CutThe President does not desire to cut-

off the customary patronage from members of the Senate and the House Hemade It clear to people who saw him yes-terday that his only thought had beento determine whether or not he shouldgive patronage to any man who was op-

posing all that the Republican partystood for and all which he as thetitular head of that party was asking

Congress to enact Into lawHo meant It was explained that this
