Book excerpt: Excerpt from Republican Campaign Text-Book, 1904 While many of the facts, historical and statistical, here pre sented are, in general terms at least, familiar to a large number of those who will have occasion to utilize this work, their presen fatiou in convenient form for reference is deemed proper in view of the fact that of the 20 millions of potential voters in the United States in 1904 a large number have never before had opportunity to participate in a Presidential election and-therefore require spe cial information of a fundamental character, and seems to justify the inclusion in this volume of many statements generally familiar to those who have had longer experience in national affairs. Two other publications, intended for the convenience and use Of Speakers, have been issued and should be consulted by those de siring thoroughly to prepare themselves for the discussions of the campaign. One of these volumes, entitled Pages from the Congressional Record, contains the more important speeches delivered in Con gress upon the subjects likely to be discussed in the present cam paign, including the Tariff, Trusts, Labor, Reciprocity; the Treaty with Cuba, the Panama Canal, the Philippines, the Relations with the Orient, the Record of the Republican Party and the Present Administration, the post-othee Department Investigation, Rural Free Delivery, Government Expenditures, the Merchant Marine, the Navy, the Old Age Pension Order, and other subjects of this character.' These speeches are in many cases the result of much careful study of the subjects discussed, studies made by men thoroughly familiar with national affairs and able to Obtain the best and latest information bearing 'upon the subjects under con sideration, and should be of great assistance to those desiring thoroughly to acquaint themselves with every feature of the great' subjects to be considered in the present campaign. Not only do they present the views and arguments of the speakers upon the subjects to which these discussions are respectively devoted, but, since they are verbatim reports of the Congressional proceedings, they include in many cases the arguments of the opposition ln jected into the speech in the form of questions and answered by the speaker in the running debate, which frequently form an important and instructive feature Of the Speech itself. This docu ment, which contains several hundred pages Of the Size of the Congressional Record, while too bulky for other than desk use, will prove 'valuable to those desiring to have in a single volume the latest and best discussions upon these vital subjects by men who have studied them under exceptionally advantageous circum stances.
