What will Happen In the I'm Dis
triCt II Bull rtOOSe Party

Take the 1th district for example,
the Gibralter OF Eepublicanism, and
we will have in every county in it in
the future, the Democratic Party,
the Republican Party, and the Bull
Moose or National Progressive
Party and as a result of this division
in the Republican ranks the Demo
Graf Party will elect county officers
in halfoi the counties in the district
and you will see some Of the mean
est politics that this district has
witnessed in many wears.

that no honest man should uphold

specting citizens to leave the Repub-

now fighting the Democratic Party.

President Taft has done things so

science vote for him in November,

tic. The Presidential Electors are
elected not by the various Congress
sional Discricts but bv the state at
large and if the state goes Demo-
cratic Woodrow Wilson will get all

material difference to either TAFT or
Roosevelt how the llth district

will get a single electoral vote in

He Remains in the Republican

While never scratched a ticket

to me that ought to join the Bull

forms one; that is the popular
thing to do in this district. Nv
answer to that is that had rather
be defeated for Congress fighting to
save the life OF the Republican Party
than to win. afiliating with

world, has honored Col Roosevelt
by electing him to the highest Office
within the gift OF the people. lie

to destroy that party because he

states they now have these Prefer

The Result " The Bull rtOOse Party
is Formed
Colonel Roos welt should look
we'll to the effect on the Republican
Party before trying to organize a
new one. The cause OF the Republic
can Party is greater than the cause
of any one man. He ought to rem
ember that the VERY life of the party
is at seake and that if the Third par
tv is formed it will result in the cleo
ton Of a Democratic President not
only this year but may turn the
country over to the Democratic
Party fer years to come, not only
in the nation but in the various
counties and districts. and states.
President Taft has been honored.
Col. Roosevelt has been honored,
and both honored by the Republican
Party, Roth men ought to be too
big to do anything that would de.
stroy the Republican Party If
President failed at Chicago, will
Col. Roosevelt also fail by leaving
the Republican Party and forming
a new one? The Chicago Conven-
ton will tell.

cotton market to open unchanged to 6

After the call the market was dull and
featureless and prices in most active posi-
tons lost to 9 points. Later, however.
the weather map indicated some disturb
ance which caused some hesitancy among
traders to sell and prices showed a tend
ency to rally few points.
The market became dun and less at
