"rhe Essential, questions before the people 10 m out
side Of party lines. In looking over the names Of those who
vossds r the PayneAldreh tariff BILL ! I'M led to believe
that regular Republicans and regular Democrats are the same.

Of . third party at this time and there WON'T be any

dock, Norris, stubbs Republican. and like to be counted
among that kind Of cattle" -eifford Pinehot
ford Pinchot at Kansas City expresses the feeling of the main body OF
Republicans.
The Insurgents m in the majority all I'VE the country and the
reason is simple-the Insurgents are fighting the battle IF the people.
The reason there will be no third party at this time is because the
party lines. Rest assured that If the Insurgents had ct forced n ma
chine which rules the destinies Of the
rich combination II the terms which the vast majority of voters demand
we would have had the Third party before this.
The reason is plain: Il IN led @ believe that the regular Repubhi
cans and the regular Democrats ar the same"
No. there will OF b a third party, but there is a party
And the second party does not bear the label of Democracy nor
Repubhcansm-
1t is the party of Honesty.
Its platform is Manhood first; property second"
That is the way that Garfield phrases it.
The program Of this movement is thus nundated by Pinchot:
I'VE o intend that the people must be compensated for
what the private interests get. The old practice of giving per-
petual grants to private interests is now impossible. and the
future is now safe against the expressions of monopoly.
THE fundamental idea of conservation is to make oft this
country a better home for the ace and to make the az a
better one in that home. The nation should think of its mar
velous riches. Conservation does not mean to stop develop
ment, but so to use the countrys natural resources that the
people who come after u may also enjoy them.
Il believe a new school of policies is coming in the Unit
ed States. This new school will decide whether the country
shall be governed by money for profit o by men fol- human
welfare"

In Ohio Garfield has started a panic among the old time politicians
with his platform.
The recall with special application to judges.
State control Of public utilities, similar to that in enect in
New York state.
A workman's compensation act similar to that enacted in
Great Britain.
The short ballot. advocated among others by exPresdent
dent Eliot of Harvard university, including a provision permit
ting cities to adopt the commission form of government.
The conservation policy. as applicable to Ohio conditions.
Reorganization Of the state department of agriculture to
encourage practical instruction in farming as a similar body
in Wisconsin is doing.
The development of the state canals, for years rendered
useless because of the states inability to decide whether to
proceed with their improvement or abandon them altogether.
There is real meat in that program.
It does not smack of the oily phrase.
It does 40 lip service to the powers of pnlage.
The record Of Garfield is its guarantee.
That briefly is the reason that there will be n o third party-the pro-
xressiye policies embodied mean only common honesty and they re com
ing to their own in the regeneration of the Republican party.
