His Record Deserves Support.

There is nothing in the record of Mr..

honor and dignity that he has filed that

I'VE have and not by our votes secure
victory for our lifelong enemy. The
ibogie of the third party has no longer
ANY terrors. 1t has had its day and Will
fall back into the oblivion to which II
belongs and leave not trace behind.

lowed on Cleveland's first election when
from the heights Of prosperity we sank
Into the lowest depths Of financial and
business distress.

Der are two machines which have never
been accepted by the government One
is weight-carrying aeroplane, sort of

The two army aeroplanes which are
being employed In the army maneuvers in
Connecticut and New York will be re-
turned to College Park during the week
SO that the signal corps may resume
the training Of a number of young avia-

squads will do much to stimulate the re-
cruits in this branch of the service
The flying officers have been told that
their insurance must be cancelled on ac-
count of the extraordinary hazardous
nature of their employment and conse-
quently feel under the necessity of having
some other provision for their families

MED them elsewhere.

put down an amendment to the bill

Want Explanation of Speech

Seagirt, N. J., August Ex-Governor Will
son said today he had received many tel
egrams asking him to explain his ref
erence in his speech last Saturday In
which he said:
The force behind the new party re-
Gently formed, the so-called progressive
party. was one of discomfort with the reg
ular parties"
Governor Wilson's attention was called
also to a statement by Colonel Roosevelt
interpreting the reference as an indorse-
ment of the third party. The governor de-
clared that the force of discomfort to
which he referred prevailed before the
Baltimore convention. when the progress
sive wings were seeking to control their
respective parties. He further explained
his attitude in a statement issued today,
In which he said:
The progressive element In the repub-
lican party tried to get control of II and
failed. The speculative element In the
democratic party tried to get control Of
It and overwhelmingly succeeded. So that
II is obvious to the whole country that
the democratic party is free to serve all
the purposes of the people. The demo-
cratic party has thus become free or
gained fundamentally, through which
programmes of reform can be carried
out"
