washington, June 16.-Ihe Plncdo'
speech in ST. Paul Saturday night, with
the intimation that movement was on
foot to organize a. new political party,
has attracted much attention in the
east which is reflected in the Wash
ington, Baltimore and New York
dailies today. Several Of the papers,
more than a column each to the affair,
while nearly all of them discuss 1t
editorially. The proposed third party
movement is not treated seriously, in
the main, but that 1t is treated at all,
is believed to be more or less signih-
cant
At the tail end of an editorial dis
cussing the Pinchot speech, the New
York World says:
1--WE readily see how Roosevelt as
the leader of third party could have
a perfectly corking time for several
years. If he did not care for the nolp-
nation himself. Pinchot and Garfield
might make an acceptable ticket.
Worse candidates have been nominat-
ed, and Mr.. Pinchot's speech at st.
Paul Saturday night was better po-
litical speech than Mr. Roosevelt ever
made. so far as we recall. 1t was good
old fashioned democratic doctrine of
the kind that Jefferson. Jackson and
Tilden used to preach-no balancing or
phrases to catch both the western rad
icals and the Wall street campaign
ward protest against privilege in gov
ernm ent.
1--WE admire Mr.. Pinchot all the
more for that speech. Indeed, we
should dislike to see him waste MS
energies in trailing after that thlro
party, for that young man has the
| makings of a first class Jeffersonian
| democrat"

IN so far as the meeting of the con-

to foreshadow the creation of another
political party 1t was taken TO be an
