as liars, thieves and other pet names
that have characterized his sheet for
the last six months, and then when
confronted with the fact that he and
others, had tired the patience of all
decent Republicans and that they were
organized to strike back and protect
the Republican party from the politi-
cal brigandage which he and all other
leading Bull Moosers had been openly
advocating and encouraging, by voting
the Democratic ticket when there was
no other alternative; that to deal uE
such a sinking mess of political sop,
thinking to placate the Republicans
into voting the Bull Moose ticket, IS
amusing.
1 have all respect for the Democratic
party and it's leaders because they have
never sought to destroy the Republi-
can party, only to defeat it; but the
Bull Mooser only hopes to destroy.
They are, and have been saying and
doing things against the republican
party that were beneath the dignity of
the Democratic party. 1t seems the
push have wakened up to the fact that
The Bull Moose party is a separate
and distinct party, no party or parcel
of the Republican party, and have nc
claim on single Republican vote for
any office, from president down to JUS
tice of peace; and ought not to have
a single vote, and it is my hope and
prayer that they will not get one. How
any respecting, true Republican
can support that ticket is beyond my
knowledge. If Mr.. White and others
prefer to be Bull Moosers, [ have nc
objection; that is their privilege and
not only their privilege, but their duty
if they see it, and it is no less my
and my duty to be Demo-
crat if the Bull Moosers rob me of
place on the ticket this fall. He says:
