Third Term Argument.

In few moments the big bull 'moos-
er was escorted to a waiting auto, the
band played and he was borne through
the crowds to the Connor hotel, where
he was given an informal reception by
local progressiyes An hour later the
start was made for Miners park. where
a great crowd had been waiting to
hear arguments as to why any man
should serve his country as president
third time.
1t was apparent from the beginning
of his speec hthat the third-termer had
been in consultation with local bull
moose leaders as to the issues which
it might be most expedient to discuss.
He picked the zinc ore tariff as the
item offering the best chance to APP
peal to local sentiment, but his at
tempt TO show that the progressive
platform promises were the only ones
that could be depended upon to per
.petuate the mining industry fell hard
Despite the fact that 800 seats had
been reserved for business men Of

Isl per reserve-there were many hold
ers of the business mems tickets who
had to stand, some of them too far
fro mthe speaker to be able to under

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-11-18

Cook county Democrats are
doing a lot of guessing as to who
is going to be next to the federal
patronage when Woodrow Viii
son plunks himself down in the
White House next March.
1t may help them some to go
over the situation, and the kind
of politics Woodrow Wilson
plays.
Wilson is progressive Demo
crat. He doesn't love bosses.
One of the biggest things he did
as governor of New Jersey was
to put Boss Smith, the big Demo-
cratic boss, and representative of
the interests, out of business. Yet
Smith had helped nominate Viii
son.
Wilson played square with him,
however, for before he took the
nomination, he told Smith and
his fellow bosses, that if he (Wil-
sony took the nomination and be-
came governor, he would not be
under any obligation to Smith or
anybody but the people of New
Jersey.
Those who imagine Roger
Sullivan will have a pull because
he threw the Illinois delegation
to Wilson at Baltimore at the last
minute, can consider what hap
pened to Boss Smith,
Here's another thing: Wilson
knows that the war Between
Bosses Lawrence and Sullivan for

ROAD progressive democrat with
a mighty clean slate as a public
servant; and that the people of
Illinois have shown their conf
dence in Dunno, while Roger and,
Andy were scrapping, and neither,
doing much if anything for.
Dunno.
And Vim. ]. Bryan knows
Dunno, and is also mighty close
to Wilson; and that Bryan isn't,
strong either for Lawrence or
Sullivan. If he had to choose be-
tween the two, he would probably
choose Roger.
But to favor either faction,
would probably split the Democ-
racy of Illinois wide open, while
one way to get an united and har-
monized Democracy would be to
tie up with Dunno and leave both
Sullivan and Lawrence out of it.
the followers of both becoming
straight Democrats instead of
factional Democrats.
There is reason also for believ-r
ing that both Bryan and Wilson
would like to see Mayor Harri-
son cut loose from the Hearst
outfit and tie up with Gov,-electr
Dunno. OF course if he sticks
with Lawrence, he and his friends;
will be out of it; for it's a safe
guess that nobody with the
Hearst label will be next to the
new president.
In other words, both Wilson;
and Bryan will be, trying to har-
monte and build up the Demo.

Such Proof as This Should Convince

The public endorsement OF local

produced. None better, none stronger
