TIDE Is RUNNING STRONG.
Having been convinced that West
Virginia can be induced to cast Its
electors for the candidates of Demo
cracy and progress, Governor Wilson
should determine to visit the State
and make few speeches. The people
are anxious to see and hear him and
his speeches would surely stimulate
the steadily rising tide and add to
the growing enthusiasm.
West Virginia, however, is not the
only State heretofore adhering to the
Republican party that is preparing to
reverse past records. States in the
west and northwest, according to the
most reliable information, are getting
ready to break away from the old in
fiuences and thus insure government

,GOVERNOR HADLEY REFUSES
TO JOIN NEW THIRD PARTY,

\ Jefferson City, Mo-, June 25.--
Upon his return here yesterday after
noon, Governor Hadley made it plain
he does not propose to join the
Roosevelt third party, but will work
for another regular Republican VIC
tory in Missouri. He said the best
way to fight for men or measures
is within the regular Republican
lines. Hadley's statement, In part
Yollows:
l believe can render more useful
svuSIllc service as aamember of the
Republican party than by joining
in the formation OF a third party.
While / have in no way changed my
mind as to the correctness Of that
for which have contended, l un-
dertake to say that no political party
ever did or ever will exist in which.
at times, men win not use authority
unfairly and to accomplish selfish
and improper ends.
In my opinion the best way to
fight such men and methods success
fully, and also the best way in which
to fight for correct principles OF
government, iB within the party,
rather than by leaving 1t.
There are some planks which
were omitted from the platform
which l should like to have seen
adopted, but there will be found, l
believe, in the platform nothing that
is Objectionable to any Republican
and on the whole 1t is the most pro-
gressive platform we have ever pre-
sented to the American people.
The only regret that have over
the result is that we did not accom-
