REAL PURPOSE OF THEE THiRo
 TERM scHEMEaRs.

With no diminuation or regard for Mir Roosevelt we must seriously queston the friendship of the man who now urges him forward for a third term nomination. IL Is conceivable indeed is certain-that republicans who have from the beginning of the Taft administration urged MT. LaFol- lette for the nomination have come to possibility of LaFollette. They have driven themselves into such dilem- ma that unable 10 name their own man. they will be forced to bolt their party or support the man they would overthrow
 There is an old Italian proverb that runs. We never forgive the man We have injured" These gentlemen will never forgive Mir. Taf for the injury they have done him. They have not bettered themselves. they have not served the country: they have been false to every party tie. Now that the penalty awaits them they hurry to Mr. Roosevelt to induce him to take d support they would have never of- fered if their frs, plans had sue ceeded
 lndustriously and cunningly Mir Roosevelt has been fed with all man. ner of tales to produce a breach be- tween him and MT. Taft. These men are in desperate straits and desperate measures are necessary to deliver them from their dilemma. They would make d tool Of Roosevelt to save themselves There are some things even in politics that man must re- frain from doing if he Is to retain the respect of his country and his party. MT. Roosevelt is being tempted to break one of these unwritten rules and il is not for his good that temp tation Is being put in his way. The cry is. Anything to beat Taft's nom-
