Norris, and endorse his able and fearless course In upholding his conscientious views in the hoUis of conrreos, in which he has been consistently supported by our senators, E. J. Burkatt and Norris Brown; we depreci- late the effort made by a certain element within the party ranks, assisted by demo cratic aid and comfort, to belittle the reo- oi-f of Senator Burkett and to deprive him, ii nis weu-earned reputation as an expon ent of reform principles. As republicans, who believe that the best interest of the country can be subserved only by adherence to republican prinWples, we- disapprove of any attempt, in this the first year of the Taft administration, and before opportunity has been fairly given to work out tta policies and Judge on their results, -to create dissension within the party and thus open the way to demo cratic success and demoralization.
