aside and give us clear sailing than You are in asking the Bull 1Ioosers to step aside and give you Republf- cans clear sailinG?. questioned Che Progressive.
 "Oh, well of course you can't sce it as I do, but it does appear funny Co me that you fellows can't realize that you are making it easy for Demo cratic victory" said the Republican. 0.
 Why of course we realize that v-e aren't bSttering your chances bur can't sec that makes any reason why we should endorse the RepubIi- can ticket or why we should drop Out sof the race,' said the Progressive.
 We Progressiyes haven't anything in common with you Republicans Those. of us in the third party who were formerly in the Republican par ty, have lost all our interest and re- spect for the old affiiiatfon. We haven't anything in common with the why we should take into considera- ton at all the Republican party. The party hasn't taken into consideration the Progressives- When some of us first declared ourselves for the third party we were laughed at. You sheer ed at us and joked about us. Ton on the shoulder and speak seriously about remaining with the old party because you thought the new move ment wouldn't amount to much You thought it was made up of lot of soreheads who Wouldn' t7getsa 1y-Where any way, and were just as well out
 
 differently and you want our sup port
 '.Oh that is foIIish talk" replied the Republican in disgusted manner. You haven't beaten the Republican party yet; you will only make 1t hard CT for them to win Most of you can ranks and why shouldn't you support the Republican ticket rather than to have ticket of your own and make a Dem mocratic party eminent Now in dist rfcf rf very best friends have Joined the Bull Moose party; men who formerly worked for me and worked hard for the Republican party. Now if 1 ac- eept this nomination which I am en- titled to and believe can have, why it simply means that l have got to work against them and they against me. It is hard to do that, hard to think that the fellow who was work just as hard if not harder against you. and not because of any personal feeling but because of new party affiliations It makes me un- n nomination.
 The Bull Mooser laughed. He pat and said: Of course know that: know that if you felt reasonably sure of winning you would gladly accept the nomination. I know it is hard for you to go into fight with little chance of victory but that is sacrifice which your party has right
 
 districts in which the Bull Moose-s haven't a ghost of a show but there are Bull Moosers who will go into the fight with no idea of winning, but only -oo glad to make the sacrifice be- cause they are working foE-a big principle and not for a personal gain Set beyond that point where the per ;onal gain enters into it and wouldn't pc whining this way Good day"
