ANYTHING
TO BEAT TAFT
This the Chief Issue of the
Bull Moose
IN REPUBLICAN STATES
STATES
Will Aid the Democrats--Colonel Will
Be More Than Satisfied If He Can
Accomplish Taft's
Defeat.

New York, Aug. l3.-Close friends OF
Colonel Roosevelt, upon their return from
the third party convention, have let it be
| known that the colonel will be more than
satisfied If he can aid the Democrats in
this campaign in the defeat of President
Taft and the Republican party. Some of
his more enthusiastic followers cherish
the hope that the colonel may poll votes
enough in the electoral college to dead
lock the election and throw it into the
House of Representatives At present
the House would be tied as between the
two parties, Republican and Democratic,
and it would then be the Senate's turn
to solve this difficult problem. Any one
of several things might happen in that
event. But Roosevelt. the master poll
tician, is not misled by any such vain
hopes at this time; his efforts will be
concentrated upon the defeat of Taft and
the wrecking OF the Republican party.
He believes from out that wreckage he
can begin the building Of new party
which will carry the House of Repre-
sentatives two years hence and four
years from now will elect him president
for third term. So the secret slogan
of the Roosevelt forces is not battling
for the Lord at Armageddon,' but the
shorter and more practical call to arms;
Anything to beat Taft"
To this end the thirdterm party will
spend most OF its time and money ia
those Republican states which Wilson,
with the assistance of third party in
the field, will be most likely to carry.
These states include New York, without
whose electoral vote it will be difficult, il
not impossible, for either Wilson or Taft
to be elected, Ohio, Indiana Illinois, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massa-
ehusetts, Michigan, Minnesota and the
Dakotas. New York will as usual be
the scene of the hardest campaign; ia
this state the Roosevelt forces. fully ex.
pecting the overwhelming defeat of their
ticket, have declared their purpose of
nominating an entire state ticket and
separate set of electors. To overcome
the Taft plurality in the state of New
York in 1904 of 100000 is no small job
and the Democrats as well as the third
termers are we'll aware of that fact.
