J. M. Blake, who has been down
in Jasper county visiting relatives
and friends, arrived home Saturday
night. He attended the progressive
convention in Des Moines and says
it was the most enthusiastic politi-

and he has attended many. He also
says the Roosevelt sentiment in the
southern part of Iowa is just as
strong and much more demonstrative
than in this part of the state. Il

Fred Halfway Explains.

Eds. Freeman Tribune: Your ar
ticle in Saturday nights paper in re-
gard to the Frank B. Vanek lunch
room is not correct. You state that
the late Chas. Halfway built said
building. l wish it understood that
my late father did not build, nor
have dollar invested in that build
ing or business. I, myself, was sole
owner. During the past five years,
myself and wife have done business
upon our own responsibility, he not
having a dollar invested in any of
our business enterprises, but the
newspapers of this city and various
citizens for some unknown reason,
have insisted upon publishing and
always speaking of our property
and business as belonging to Chas.
Halfway, during all that time. For
this reason, and also that other false
rumors have been circulated, as to
ours and my fathers affairs, myself
and wife feel that we have now
borne all the Misrepresentation
that we care to, and therefore
make this statement, hoping to cor
rect some of the false Impressions in
the minds of the public.

WILSON REMAINS AT SEA.
Probable That He Will Land Some
Time Today, Returning
to Seagirt.

Seagirt, N. j., July 29.-Governor
Wilson was at sea last night, aboard
a private yacht putting the finishing
touches to his speech of acceptance
of the presidential nomination. No
word Of any kind came from him to
the summer capital and there is ev-
cry reason to believe he is many
miles out on the ocean.
He will return to Seagirt today
unless he changes his plans. Joseph
P. Tumulty, his secretary, In whom
alone the governor has confided the
name of the yacht, expects to meet
the governor today at one of the
numerous inlets along the coast
aboard the yacht. After Mr.. Tumul-
ty has transacted his business with
the governor he will land. The
yacht will steam out and head for
another haven up the coast. The
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1912-07-30

governor will land during the after
noon and come by motor to Seagirt.
A week will have elapsed since
his departure to seek seclusion In
which to write his speech. It will
be the governors first public COM
ment on the democratic platform as
an entirety. 1t will be delivered
here Aug. at the ceremony of noti-
fication. 1t the weather is fine the
governor probably will talk from q
little knoll in his yard beneath q
group of elms.
While the governor has declined
to forecast his speech, 1t is known
definitely here that the tariff will be
dealt with as the leading issue. In
close relation to this the governor
places the high cost of living, The
latter he is said to regard as but
development of the present tariff
system
There are other points, he has in
timated, with which he will deal.

to what avail? Our petitions have
been ignored. We have been spurn.
ed Our chains are forged and we
have become slaves to the aristo-
crazy of wealth and power. What
then? Shall we submit in humble
obeisance, or, like Daniel of old, re-
fuse to PROSTATE ourselves before

we submit longer. The psychological
and opportune moment is at hand.
Only through the third party can
we hope to carry out progressive
ideas as advocated today.
Principle above party, patrio-
tism above policy and honesty in
politics" will be our slogan.
The fight is on. The temple of
justice will be builded anew upon the
foundation of justice and equality
to all. The stone which the builders
(Bosses) rejected will become the
head of the corner.
All honor to him who stands
forth square to the world and defies
these usurpers of authority, those
travestors of justice and shakes
from of his feet the shackles they
have bound upon him.. Such one
is our leader, Theodore Roosevelt,
he whom the people delight to hon
or and in whom they put their trust.

Why a Third Party.

When, in the nature of things
necessity urges or demands, her voice
is needed, human instrumentality at
once responds and that which is re-
quired is brought forth, sometimes
in joy and sometimes in sorrow.
Our politics is no exception. Po-
litical parties are born; necessity
creates and necessity destroys. When
a party so far forgets and trampels
Under foot or repudiates the princi-
pies upon which it is buflded, then
it becomes expedient that another
instrumentality be utilized. In years
agone, parties were born whose prin-
ciples one or the other parties were
compelled to accept. It's work was
finished, it vanished away.
The republican party was born to
take up the work of the old whig
party whose ranks had been decim-
ated by dissension and strife. There
were murmurings and protests then,
as now, against new party. The
old had failed or had outlived it's
usefulness. The new must take up
its work with added responsibilities.
How we'll it was done history rec
ords, but it's glorious past is no as
surance of its continuance. It's at
titude in the present alone deter
mines its future.
Whey then a third party?
Is 1t because the republican party
is no longer party of the people,
by the people and for the people?
Is it because the right of the
masses are subjected to the will of
the few?
Is it because the democratic party
is as impotent to carry out progress
sive principle as is the republican?
We answer, yes! indeed and in
truth.
When parties become so corrupted
with the plague of "Bossism and In
terests" as evidenced in both old
parties, it is time quarantine be
declared and the patients sent to the
pest house.
When by fraud the System" nom
mates a man whom the people have
repudiated both at the congression-
al and primary elections, it is time
something was DONE
We are fast approaching the vor-
tex of that great maelstrom which
for ages has been the destroyer of
nations. Corrupted as were they
with the immoralities with which
We are contending, there must be a
realignment. Come We out from
among them.
Think We that building shall
endure
Which shelters the rich and
brushes the poor?"
They say we want to wreck the
party, when they are the wreckers.
They want us to stay aboard the |
ship which they have scuttled. They
want to purge the party of us: they
call us liars, thieves and hypocrites.
Yet they plead with us to vote for
Taft, or peradyenture We could not
swallow him. Wilson would do, but
ion't organize third party-it
would be destructive to the old.
Fight it out in the ranks of the
wo old parties! Fiddlesticks!H Haven't
We fought? We have pleaded; we

The unwillingness of the American

Polo continued to be the acme of in
terest at the pier. The junior champion
ship was started at the Point Judith
Club yesterday, but the match of chief
interest was between the Point Judith
Wanderers and a Philadelphia Country
Club team The Wanderers were James
Park, Thomas LIE Boutill-er, f. A. Gill
and Is. F. Gatins, the latter New Or
leans player, who only comes north in the
summertime. For the Philadelphia Coun-
try Club the players We're John r. Fell.
F. s. Won StaGe, c. c. Rumsey and j. w.
Converse.
The game was a close one. Gatins was
the only one to score for his side. le
managed to make two goals, and there
was a foul recorded against Gill. Gill,
who is the polo manager of the Point
Judith Country Club, seems to have
brought to America certain rough con-
ceptions of the game, and while he has
not shown any cleverness at play, he GER
tainly has exhibited rough house
method which is not appreciated here.
The country club team played well, Won
Stade getting two goals, Fell two goals
and singles being recorded for Rumsey
and Converse
