mediately have followed, o
there would have been a schisn
within the party which would
have led to a third ticket in 1912
and consequently the election o.
a Democratic president.
There is nothing in the situation
to-day that should lead Republi
cans like myself, who have al.
ways advocated the belief that
the party and not the organiza-
ton should give direction to
party activities, to fear that any
third movement at this juncture
is even possible, or that, if re-
forms within the organization be
carried out, the Republican tick
ct will not be elected in 1912.
With all due respect to the gen.
tleman mentioned by Mr.. Edg-
erton as the possible opponents
of the third party idea, they
would not, | believe, if they
were ultimately to attempt to or
ganize such a party, meet re-
Spouse that would make such a
movement anything more than a
defeat of a Republican ticket.
Colonel Roosevelt and other
progressive leaders still remain
within the party fold, and, so
far as the public knows to the
contrary, they are still opponents
of the idea that reform should be
carried on within the ranks. The
Republican party is still, and
will continue to be, despite a
fatuous, even stupid policy of
party management, an efficient
fundamentally for national we'll
being.
For, after all, parties are not
built as one would build a house,
but created and held together
and perpetuated by sentiment
and common interest. With each
recurring generation new issues
arise which are but differing
phases of long unsettled ques-
tons. Always, for a time, after
the joining and disposition of
every great moral issue organic
alton influence, through necess-
ity of discipline. continues pot
ent. But in the after period,
while parties are in waiting, as
now, for great problems to as
sumo such concrete form as will
bring their meaning home to
every citizen, and stir men to
partisan activity, parties become
broken up into groups, each
group dominated by individual
or coterie of individuals. Boss
ism in it's grossest fern is the
natural concomitant, and in the
face of that peculiar and
Enthusiastically American con-
tempt of statutory law and re-
gard for authority only as it is
personified in the Individual
abuse and corruption naturally
and inevitably SUI coed to patri-
otism and civic pride. We ale
at present passing through the
throes of such condition. One
trouble with us as party men has
been that we have regarded the
term Republican as applying to
a fixed condition. On the con-
trary. the term is only a senti-
mental designation applied to
conditions which change with
each generation. There is Ger
tainly a disposition and a power
within the Republican party to
