The Boston Globe, following the an
nouncement of Colonel Roosevelt and
his followers that they would establish
a new political party, furnishes the fol
lowing data bearing upon the fate of
other third parties that have sprung
up IN the history of the nation. The
comment is as follows:
The probable appearance Of a new
party in the elections next fall natur-
ally suggests the question, What has
been the fate of third parties in this
country? Can those who break away
from their allegiance to a lOng-estab-
lished party or those who are called
boilers hope to win?
Leaving out OF consideration the So
cialist and prohibition parties, which
are not opportunist in character and
do not look for immediate victory, let
US regard only those which formed in
times of great public excitement and
which aimed at immediate success.
There have been at least eight such
parties; the anti-Masonic, the liberty,
the free soil, ~he American or the
know-nothing, tlv constitutional-union
the liberalrepublican, the greenback
and the populist.
The anti-Masonic party was the re-
suit OF the mysterious disappearance
of William Morgan, who had threat
ened to publish the secrets of the Ma
/ sonic order. His dead body or body

James K. Polk, a democratic dark

chiefly through his own or his party's
influence. He received powerful aid
from the Liberty party, the party Of
many opponents of slavery. whose
Nominee. James G. Birney. got enough
votes in New York to take that state
from" Clay, the Wing candidate.
Out of the liberty party grew the
