Goodbye Saloons for another three
years,
We have the victory again,
After tolls and lots of tears,
We fought hard to win the
battle,
But never the less, A. II. X. and

Were the cause of this great fame
Which we rightfully claim.
Goodbye Saloons, we bid you all
skiddoo,
For we all believe in no Boose
But more shoes.
While we voted dry, others did
cry,
That we re for saloons but knew
not why,
Unless it was for more dry
And that's the reason why
We all voted dry

NOT A new PARTY
Speaker Cannon Doesn't Expect
to See One.
Takes Issues to Bring Birth Of
New Party.
GOES INTO HISTORY.
Tells About Organization of the
Republicans.
Attempt to Form One in Furnace
Heat OF Rebellion.

Washington March 2.-"There will
hardly be a new party grow out of the
present dissensions in the older party
ranks declared Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon today to a group of his per-
sonaI friends. Il have little faith or
belief in these announcements of the
birth of new parties through man-made
agencies.
New parties" he continued, grow
and develop because they are started
from the seed of an issue. Issues make
parties; not men. 1t is no more pos
sible for one man to plan and create
a party than it is to bridge the Allan
tic. No, not for one man nor ten men.
nor ten thousand men to form a new
party.
These new parties come and they
go. They spring up in the night and
are chased away by sunrise. l have
seen many of them come and go since
the foundation of the Republican party.
"The first that 1 recOllect was in 1864.
There was an attempt by some of the
strongest men in the Republican party
to form a newer party right in the fur
mace heat of the rebellion. They met
at Cleveland. They had conferences,
and they even went so far as to nomi-
nate John c. Fremont for president,
but the party did not even live until
election day.
Then came the liberal Republican
movement of 1872. That was the year
came to congress. That movement fail
ed OF frUition, although Il took no less
personages than David Davis and Gov
ernor Trumbul of Illinois, and Gen
eraI Nathaniel p. Banks out of the Re
publican party and they made Greeley
their nominee. That movement did not
last.
Then, the same year another party
tried to nominate dear old Peter Coop
er for the presidency The Greenback-
ers, I believed they called themselves.
The Greenbackers came to the front
again in 1876 and figured in a small
way in the campaign C 1880. Then we
had the Populist movement, that lived
and died and went the way of the 9TH
ers.
