"People Will Have
Their Say" It. R.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 25-Colo-
mel Roosevelt laughed today over the
opinion expressed by Elections Com
missioner Livingston Of Brooklyn, that
under the law there can be no third
party electors in New York state this
fall.
"PreI5sterous!" exclaimed Colonel
Roosevelt. The idea advanced by Mr..
Livingston is merely a development Of
the attitude Of the national committee
that the people have no voice in their
own affairs. The national committee
stands for rule by the professional pol
iticians That's what Mr. Livingston
wants.
What Mr.. Livingston fails to I'M
derstand is that the politician. the Of
fee holder, is the servant of the peo-
pie He will come to that later on.
The people are going to have their say
about the putting Of electors on the
ticket
we are going to have third ticket
in the state this fan Mr. Livingston
viii find that out Nothing can pre-
vent it
The eXpresident maintained that
nothing under the law can stop the
third party putting up q set Of elec-
tors by petition.
