Aid Society
EVERYWHERE REPUBLICANS
ARE RETURNING TO
PARTY RANKS

Chicago, Ill.,, September % =
The Bull Moose may be dying
hard, but, nevertheless, and
notwithsta nding, the Bull Moose
Is dying.
la other words, Roosevelt is
now practically eliminated as a
factor in the presidential con-
test. This is the summary of
hundreds of letters received this
week at the Western headquar-
ters of the Rebublican National
Committee in this city.
Last week it was cautiously
asserted in this correspondence
that the Roosevelt movement
was apparently dying out. In
formation which has reached
headquarters this week removes
the matter from the domain of
doubt. Letters written by diff
ferent people in widely separa-
ten localities, not with any col
fusion, but from the standpoint
of independent observation, show
that the movement is becoming
mor,bund. Everywhere Repub-
licans are returning to the party
ranks, refusing to be led into a
boiling organization which is
nothing more nor less than a
Democratic Aid Society.
The unanimity of testimony
carries conviction and the disin-
tegration is so plainly shown as
to fully warrenl the prediction
that the Roosevelt third-term
party movement will collapse be-
fore election day.
1t is not necessary to take Re-
publican evidence only. a DEM
ocrat of national prominence " no
was actively engaged In promo
ting the candidacy of Champ
CLARK for the presidential nomi-
nation recently sent out $4,000
letters to Democrats throughout
the United States. In the re-
plies which he has received,
wherever the name of Roosevelt
is mentioned, and that is in hun
dreds of cases, it is accompanied
by the statement that Roosevelt
is loosing ground in the writer's
locality. !.
And not onls from the Demo-
Gratis but from Roosevelt himself

there is confirmation. If Roose-
welt, were gaming ground the
Bull Moose would be believing
loudly. Roosevelt, self-advertis-
er that he is, would be shouting
from the housetops if he were
gaining ground. His grouchy
denunciatlons of everybody and
everything tell the story of his
discontinue. The fact is that
not a single accession to the
Roosevelt ranks has been repor-
ted since he began his campaign.
On the other hand, thousands of
assertions from him to President
Taft have been announced. ~
Roosevelt Hurts Own Cause
It is especially true that Roose
yelt was hurt rather than helped
by his recent tour to the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast
States. He INDUCED in angry
denunclatians and offered no
practical remedy for the condi-
tions of which he complained.
The people could not help seeing
that he was more of a demagogue
than a constructive statesman.
The GOODNESS of his reception has
inspired the republican leaders
to make an aggressive fight in
California, and they have been
unwittingly aided by the Demo.
cratic managers, who sent Bryan
into the Western country. Cali
fornia and the Pacific Slope went
overwhelmingly for Champ Clark
before the convention, and the
presence of Bryan was as a red
flag in the face of bull to the
Clark men. for they hold Bryan
personally responsible for the
defeat of their favorite. When,
in addition to this, the CLARK
leader in California was deposed
and his organization turned over
to a Wilson Democrat, situa-
tion was created in the Demo.
cratic ranks which helps the Re-
publicans nightly.
The chapter on the Roosevelt
decline might be indefinitely ex-
tended. In one precinct in Ills
nois a poll revealed the fact
Roosevelt will not receive over
| per cent of the vote given to
him in the primary last May |
e. B. Hawkins, who will be the
new national committeeman from
Minnesota, says that the tide has
turned in his state; the Goldlield
Morning Journal~says that in
Nevada Roosevelt is "a dead
