THOSE WHO WANT CHANGE
MUST VOTE FOR WILSON
Third Termer has Lost his Real OPP
portunity and Revealed In the Seem
ing Patroit but a schemins, Self
Seeking Demagogue.
(By Walter Cain.)

Special to The Nesos.
Washington, D. C. July 1S-The in
formation of a third party and the
by it of Theodore Roose-
welt having been finally determined
upon, the American voter must give
consideration. Can the new party
win? Should it win? Does the coun-
try need another Roosevelt dynasty?
Should republicans progressively per-
suaded and headed towards new or
der support the political ambitions of
one man or figure the atoms welfare
above the fortunes of such pretender
and line up behind Woodrow Wilson?
Mr.. Roosevelt is powerful campaign
er. He has many rousing qualities.
He is spectacular and most resources
full He is aggressive in all matters
and utterly tireless. He is intensely
out of the ordinary. He eats shia e

no customs and disdains an d
conventions. He has no dull a.
Life with him is one climax after -
other His strenuousity ha1ts at notz
ing. He thinks that day lost whose
low descending sun hasn't seen him
doing a hundred mile hoseback ride
before breakfast, or killing few lions
in the African jungles, or lecturing
some nation on it's governmental poll
cies, or addressing a cientific assem-
bly,, or deposing an ambassador, or
snubbing the Pope, or thrilling the
world with a naval demonstration, or
kicking a policeman, or dynamiting a
: lot of traditions. He is sui generis
and then some. Yet the people SO
like spectacular performances that he
had built up tremendous following
in the country. The ego in his sys
I TEN is ever virile and in the light Of
recent happenings the question has
/ arisen whether after all he is mo-
J. playing a game for self rather thar
