of It's friends declare, grow so rapid
ly to mans estate as to be able to
defeat in November the Goliaths of
Republicanism and Democracy, to-
gether with all lesser antagonists?
In any case it is evident that. for an
infant not yet even christened, the
new party is causing a remarkable
commotion among the politicians,
and occupying a great deal of space
in the newspapers. Already such in
fluential Republican and Independent
papers as the Chicago Tribune and
Post, the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, the Kansas City Star and Times,
the Boston Journal, the Washington
Times, the Baltimore News, Pittsburg
Leader, the Emporia Gazette, the
Spokane Spokesman-Review, the San
4 Francisco Bulletin, the Los Angeles
/ Tribune and Express, the Fresno
Republican, the Madison Wisconsin
State Journal, the Indianapolis Star,
/ Thea Muncie Star, the Terre Haute
| Star, and the Louisville Herald have
rallied 10 the support of this new
conner in the political field, and the
same course has been followed, says
the San Francisco Bulletin, by two
thirds of the country press OF the Pa
cific Coast. While the new party has
not yet held its first convention, and
is still officially nameless, correspon-
dents report that the work of local
organization is proceeding rapidly in
Chicago, Boston. New Orleans, and
many other cities, while the problems
of national organization are in the
hands Of a temporary committee COM
posed Of governors, senators, news
parer proprietors, judge an ex-
congre ssman, an eX-cabinet officer,
and others, representing in all some
fifteen States. Altho Governors Had
ley, Of Missouri, Deneen, of Illinois,
and Aldrich, of Nebraska, who fought
under the Roosevelt banner in the
Coliseum convention, refused to fol-
low it beyond the Republican fDld,
the leaders who stand with the Col
ColOncl do not seem to be at all wor-
ried over these assertions "The new
movement will go right ahead; moth
ing will stop it." declares Governor
Johnson of California. "There must
be no compromise. no straddle, "
says Colonel Roosevelt, who adds: 81
shall fight the battle through to the
end"
In answer to the remark of a Taft
! delegate that it takes money to run
even a reform campaign, and that 'it
remains to 'be seen whether the syn
dictate that has been underwriting
the ColoneI's aspirations for regu
lar third-term nomination will care
: to subscribe to any further issues Of
Roosevelt securities" a correspondent
: of the New York Times (Dem.
points out that the new party al
ready numbers among its adherent'
such men of wealth as Clifford ant
: Amos Pinchot, Charles R, Crane
t William Finn, George w. Perkins
e Frank A. Munsey, Daniel Hanna
e Senator Bourne, Oscar S. Straus ant
J. Alexander H Revell. The same cor
respondent states that popular inter

o "In the campaign preceding tn
