BRYAN. TEXAS. DEcE'IBER I. 1908
ARE WE TO HAVE A THIRD
PARITY

Those who have studied the polit
ial history OF our country understand
why It % that there always have beer
and always will be two jarties. II is
equally plain to oil who understand
American politics that there cannot be
permanently more than two parties,
Now and then the dissatisfied ele
ments in the two dominant parties
become rmficiently numerous to make
third organization. but such a move
ment "a always short lived unless II
can supplant and sbsorb one OF the
o d parties. II 10 true there are always
enough cranks and chronic malcon'
tents to tcep alive minor organiza-
tons such as the Socialist and Prohibi-
ton parties. but such aggregatoas
have so little influence that they are
not worth considering.
Twice In the last third OF century
the third party movement has assum
ed national proportions gaining con
troll of states and sending represen-
tativen to congress: but In each case
after few years the intereJt died and
the organization disbanded. 1t will
be understood. course. that this re
fers to the Greenback and Populist
parties.
There are some indications OF an
effort TO launch another third party
during the approaching state cam
paign In Texas. Here is what the
Coleman News Gays about It: There
Is to be n new element TO be reckoned
with In the coming campaign. II will
probably come up In the guise OF an
Independent party. The gubernatorial
race Is probably all that will be affect.
ed at this time. Already. In some sec
lions. voters are being asked to keep
out OF the primaries. so that they may
be free to vote for whom Il ely please.
There Is a strong sentiment that the
State need a strong. sane. safe bust
ness man or governor. who is free
OF political schemers and wircworkers.
II is claimed that such a candidate
would receive strong support OF all
parties who have become sick OF the
government being run In the interest
Of political tricksters. There are a
number OF interesting developments
appearing on the political horizon OF
Texas"
II Is hardly probable that such an
effort can have any material influence
on the result OF the campaign next
year. for two reasons; First. there are
too many people yet living who partici-
pated in the Popullst movement and
dc net care to repeat the experience:
