They prefer to pursue private carcers rather than expose themselves and their families to unfounded ecriticism and attack, and the country is thereby impoverished. Such attacks, more- over, create perscnal feeling and party factions, walch render the task of | sovernmant infinitely difMoult for any- one to undertake it. It is the more necessary, however, as I look at it, that these things should be borne with fortitude if pot with indifference, in order that our duty may be rendered without regard to eur personal feei- ing. “Your defense of the historical ac- curacy of the statement attributed to me was very generous and I trust that I may have the pleasure of seeing you s00n to thank you in person.” lowa Delegation for Taft.
