Third Party Shows Vitality.
Summing up the convention which
adjourned tonight, it must be admitted
that. taken all in all, IL has shown
vitality and an enthusiasm which ar
CUES well for the third party move
ment although ii seems hardly likely
that IL can succeed this year In fact'
few Of it's leaders, unless possibly II be
MIR. Roosevelt himself. expect success
this year. They will be content with
the defeat Of President Taft, but they
are banking on making a showing
which will put them in a position or
power four years hence.
The wisdom OF espousing the woman
suffrage cause was well shown by the
SOeeEn or MISS Juit Nuueiillo' NlN' III
seconding the nomination OF Colonel
Roosevelt. frankly asserted that she
was glad to support the eXPresident
because he had seen fit to espouse the
cause OF women. both as regards the
ballot and the hours of labor.
The leaders maintain that equal wis
dom has been shown in espousing other
causes, and that this will be proved by
the support which the third party will
receive from Socialists, Single Takers
and others who will see in Mr.. Roose-
velt's views, If not actual conversion
to their schools Of philosophy. at least a
start in their direction, which cannot
be logically followed without bringing
the new party 20 the advocacy of one
or the other.

JOHNSON NAMED
Continued from first page.

who are in sympathy with the move
ment.
One is that this convention has been
composed OF men who have not made
successes in life, men OF mediocre abil-
,tv who have remained at home rs
their supposedly moro fortunate fell
lows have been eScted to Congress or
TO other offices, men of small business
but large ambitions who believe that
by some miracle Mr.. Roosevelt Is going
10 win for them a success which they
have never been able TO achieve for
themselves.
The other is that the movement rep
resents a real, vital evolution OF Ameri-
can politics and economies, cnllstins
the support of all who are convinced
that things are not as they ought II
be, that the men engaged in the move
ment are young, earnest and energetic,
that It is merely the elimination OF =
spirit which has been growing for
years and that It is supported by men,
young, enthusiastic and energetic.
So far as the personnel Of the con-
vention is concerned, there Is ground
for maintaining the former contention.
II is somewhat remarkable that the
large majority of the delegates are men
OF mature years, that their average
age is probably above that of the dele
gates 10 either Of the other national
conventions. and that many Of them,
although Of mature years, give little
evidence OF prosperity.
OF course. It is impossible 10 deter
mine even at close range the extent Of
the sentiment which these men repre-
sent, but 1t is an undeniable fact that
they are enthusiastic and that they be-
lieve they have had part In launching
a great movement. A few weeks hence
II viii be far easier 20 gauge tho &C
curacy OF their beliefs.
