The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-07-19

Governors, senators, congressman AMI
other leading men throughout the ma
tion have declared in favor of the new
party, although a number of the
Roosevelt leaders in the Republican
national convention have refused to
follow the colonel outside of the party.
Notable among these are Senator Bo-
rah of Idaho, Governor Deneen of Hi
nOis and Governor Osborn of Michi-
gan. Senator Cummins has also de-
clared himself against the formation
of a new party. Other progressive
leaders, such as Governor. Hadley of
Missouri, have said that they saw no
need of a third party in their states,
since they would control the regular
Republican organization.
Such "A situation has never before ap
peared in American politics. The pos
sibilities arising out of 1t are stagger-
ing. One Is an entire new alignment
Of political parties. Another is that
presidential electors will refuse to
obey the mandate of their party's ma
tional convention. For a third, there
may be I'd election of president at all
by the electoral college, which would
throw the election into the house of
Representatives. AS neither party has
a majority of states in the house, sew
eTal states being exactly tied, this
would almost certainly result in a
deadlock. In which event no president
at all would be elected, a contingency
for which there is no constitutional pro
vision.
Any one OF the above results would
be peRofutionary and in the present ex-
cited state of the|public mind might
actually pTecipitate revolution 1t is
this sort of political dynamite that is
contained in this unprecedented cam
pafgn.

hibition party and the Socialist party.
Two third party movements appeared
In 1896, but only for one campaign.
One was that Of the Gold Democrats
and the other that of the Silver Repub-
licans.
The periodical third party move
ments may be likened to waves of the
sea, each wave mounting higher than
those preceding It. With the incoming
of this reform tide one wave will ad-
vance farther than all the rest, break
Ing over all barriers and reaching the
mark. Is the Progressive movement to
prove such wave?
The organization of n new party is n
prodigious task, as is now being re-
allied by the Roosevelt managers.
The states have widely varying cleo
ton laws, and the ticket must be
placed upon the ballot in each. In
New York, for example, the obstacles
in the way are well night insurmount-
able. Other states are almost as diff
cult. In some states, 1t Is understood,
there will he an attempt made to take
over the entire Republican organiZa-
ton, electors and all. This plan will
he fought by the Taft men and may
end up in the courts. The progressive
party will organize throughout the
south and will make a pronounced eff
fort to carry some southern states. 1t
will also make vigorous campaign In
those northern states carried by Taft
in the preconvention struggle.

The general of the Roosevelt forces
will he Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon of
Montana, who had charge of the colo
ners campaign for the nomination.
Governor Hiram w. Johnson of Cali
fornia has been one of the chief Roose-
welt lieutenants, presiding over the
meeting of delegates in Chicago that
first put the former president in nomi-
nation and also naming the committee
that has had charge of the organiza-
ton of the new party. In New York
state William II. Hotchkiss. former
insurance superintendent, is in charge
of the Roosevelt forces. In New Jer-
sey are such doughty warriors as for
mer Governor John Franklin Fort,
George L. Record and Everett Colby.

pies party, having served on several of
Its committees and having been secre-
tary of Its national committee for
eight years. Since the disappearance
of that organization II has been a mat
ter of great interest to observe the
manner in which its principles have
taken root and grown until they fill the
nation. Its death was a high example
of laying down its life TO find it again.
1t died that its principles might live,
In the soil of its self sacrifice they
have thriven nightly. During the past
sixteen years they have been a disrupt

Having gone through that fight, |
have lived in the belief that in time
another new party would be formed,

would sweep the nation. Is the Pro

take to suppose that the free coinage of
silver was one of the original funda-
mental issues on which the Peoples
party was formed. In its essence IL
was an antimonopoly party and was
against railroad domination and fought
the machines of both old parties. Its
great strength was in the west and
south, threatening Democratic suprem-
acy in the south almost as much as
Republican supremacy in the west.
The formation of the Progressive
party this year occurs at the end of
another twenty year period. Thus the
dates fall as follows:
1S54-Republican party organized.
1S74-Greenback party organized.
1S92-People's party organized
1912-PrOgressive party organized.
The interval in each case is twenty
years, except from 1874 to 1899. which
is eighteen years, deviation not great
enough to be important.

NO TRACE FOUND
OF EDGAR CARVER


Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug. 5.-Satur-
day afternoon there was filed with the
clerk Of the United states Court here
a petition signed by three prominent
business men of Rowlesburg, W. va,
asking that a receiver be appointed
to take charge Of the real estate and
other property of Edgar Carver, who
has been cashier of the First National
Bank at Rowlesburg, but not until at
ter he had converted most of his stock
in the First National Bank into cash,
and had also sold a large amount OF
other investments he had in various
enterprises as well as some personal
property and real estate. Some OF his
real estate, including several houses
and lots he could not dispose of with
outfexciting suspicion and these the
receiver will take charge of as soon
as he has qualified for the position
which was early this morning as his
bond for $4,000 was prepared Satur-
day afternoon and will be filed with
the district clerk Immediately.
In their petition to Judge Dayton
the three petitioners, J. II. Thomas,
NJ. H. Proudfoot and w. w. Shock al
lege that upon information and be-
lief Carver has left the country after
embezzling a large amount from the
bank; that they desire to protect
themselves and other creditors as far
as possible and they pray that he be
| adjudged an Involuntary bankrupt
within a certain time unless he re
turns and defends the suit brought, in
which case the bankrupt matter will
proceed as ordinarily 1t is further
stated in the petition that it is be
/ lieved Carver owns divers other debts
aggregating something like $4,000
much of this amount being for mer
/ chandse and other living expenses
and part of it borrowed money.
1t is further set forth by the peti
toners that Carver owes them, as fol
lows J. II. Thomas S123122, Dor
rowed money; NJ. II. Proudfoot $63.90
medical services " w Shook, $9079
+ for goods
Carver disappeared from Rowles
burg a short time ago and when an in
spector from Washington made an in
spection of the condition of the bank
he found that its condition was very
bad He Immediately closed the con
Germ after making a report to the sec
rotary of the treasury and a receiver
for the institution was appointed. j
has since developed that Carver is
presumed to have iuggIed the books
in such a manner that he got away
with a large amount OF the banks
funds. Carver was formerly in bust
ness in Parkersburg, having been con
nected with the printing concern o
EIetson & Carver now defunct.
