1T JARS THE REPUBLICANS

Roosevelt has now ordered his fol.
lowers in Maine 20 leave the repub-
lican party and put up progressive
electors so that the republican vote
win be split in that state this fall
and The democrats viii be sure TO
carry it. He did not order the d.
vision until after the state election
because. he says. the governor-elect
had promised him that if the split
was not ordered until after the cleo
ton he, the governor, would then sup
port the progressives.
What a shock this will be to Will
liam Howard Taft and Chairman
HIlles, who have Just got through
issuing interviews declaring that
Maine was certain TO go for Taft
this fail because there was no divis-
ion of the party in that state and be
cause the republicans. in their com
pact and united ranks, could defeat
the democrats by 3O4S in a state cleo
ton where nothing but state issues
were discussed.
The action of the progressives, fol.
lowing Roosevelt's orders. not only
makes the state certain for the dem
ocrats, hut it shows what the colonel
intends doing to Mr.. Taft where he
gets the opportunity.
We are now anxiously awaiting to
hear what Mrs. Taft has to say about
it.

THE THIRD
PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

president, and not a few Of them
have begun to again endeavor to pa

the public lest they forget"
Colonel Roosevelt, and, apparent
ly a large number of the people have
also lost sight of Colonel Roosevelt's
unnistakable declaration that the
third term" was a proper and neces'
sary usage. as well as his repeated
assurances that, under no circum'
stances, would he again become a
candidate for the presidency.
True, there is to be no third term
at any rate not at this time. 1t Is
practically assured that Governor
woodrow Wilson will be chosen in
1912. Just what viii occur fou
wears later it is difficult to forecast
though there are those who believe
that Colonel Roosevelt's campaign
now is for the purpose of providing
himself with an organization for USE
in 1916, when he expects to ride int
the presidency again. Meantime, th'
Roosevelt influence is REGARDED
strong enough to prevent Legislation
by congress regulating terms of in

THE TENDER POINT.
tst. Louis Republie.)

(St Louis Republie.)
In view OF the character OF the
democratic nominee, the democratic
platform and The present temper OF
democratic leadership, why do not
the men in the progressive movement
who really desire progress cast IN
their lot with us?
There is, we believe, just one chief
reason: the progressive alteration OF
the protective principle in tariff
making I'VE believe" says the pro
gressive platform, in the protective
tariff"
There is no use in mincing matters.
The thing the progressive so warmly
champions-for the platform goes on
through the familiar formula as TO
"equalizing conditions of competition
and all the rest OF it's the thing
which the democracy is especially
anxious to smite between the eyes.
The difficulty of merging the honest
and sincere portion OF the Roosevelt
! following into the Wilson following Is
precisely the difficulty OF fusing two
companies when the evil angel OF the
one is the good angel Of the other
This is written in no unappreci-
alive or unfriendly spirit. There IS
| in the progressive ranks an element
that should be in the democratic par
ty. but is restrained by allegiance TO
the tariff. Compromise is impossible,
but conversion is highly to be de-
sired. Now is the time when demo
Gratis should be ready to give rea-
son for the faith that is in them.
The wool schedule is a good place
| to begin. Under the Payne-Aldrich
/ law the duty on clothing wool is a
per cent. The bill which President
| Taft Just vetoed would have reduced
! this TO 29 per cent. This is, rough
Iy. one-third off. The duty on some
/ GRADES of combed woods is 252 per
cent The president is willing to
/ sanction a 20 per cent reduction OF
this tremendous tax, but thinks any
greater cut would be 'ruinous 10
the industry.
There is no occasion to be techni'
cal. The anxious inquirer need not
burden his weary mind with fgures
Let him remember just one or two
facts. This nation inhabits the
breadth of a continent. We have
hundreds of thousands of square miles
of semi-arid land specially adapted
to the raising of sheep. In menehan
zeal ingenuity we are unsurpassed
among the peoples of the earth. We
have nearly 100000 sheep and CLIP
annually more than 50,000,00o pounds
i of wool.
WHY should this great and flourish
ing industry need TO be protected By
II LAYING a tax on the clothing OF the
poor and the material composing u
