The STAHL PICNIC.
Robert Stone Makes Plea for Party
Regularity.

Gh1rtX-th1rd
mic at StahPs grove south of Auburn
Thursday was the speech made by
Representative Robert Stone
Mr.. Stone took the bit in his teeth
and made a rousing Taft speech in
which he made a plea for party regu-
Iarity and the support of the Repub-
lican nominees. He criticised sharply
the efforts of Theodore Roosevelt to
organize a third party and said;
1.-THE Republican party has been ac-
complishing in Kansas and other
states, such as Wisconsin. Illinois and
California, just the things that the
prog1 essive element of the party stands
for and stood for at Chicago, salo
Mr. Stone. 1.-The national party ma
chinery was fast coming into the pos,
session Of the progressive element ana
it seems to me useless to surrender the
prestige in these states and IN the ma
ton which the progressive element mas
obtained to follow the uncertainty or
esta blishing a new party. NO party
should be abandoned when 1T has
task unfinished to which it is bending
it's hest endeaVOrS.
oT1ois Is a question of principle, and
not of men and it seems to me that
Roosevelt should have been Wllnng 70
give I'D personality that some other
progressive might have oeen natn 9 :,
and a progressive platform adopted.

Fife Graham represented the suffrage
