ed intimation that he would accept a
bun moose or third party nomination
for president i'm 1916?
We do not believe the colonel made
any such intimation. In the first place,
IL would be totally Illogical; he had
Just denounced MIR. Wilson for bring
ing adversely and humiliation on the
country; and TO say in the next breath
that he would repeat the third party
performance Of 1912 would he tanta-
mount Ia declaring that he meant Ia
re-elect Mr.. Wilson il he could.
And, in the second place, a third
party nomination would be OF no use
at all To a man actually running for
the presidency for himself, and not for
the Interior purpose Of keeping anoth-
err man out Of II. and of spiting a ma
tional convention that didn't know
when 10 discard the steam roller
But the main point is: Since the
colonel elected Wilson i'm 1912 lay split
ting his party and running for presi-
dent on a third party ticket; and since
he is unspeakably Disguised with the
results for the country of electing Mr..
Wilson, why i'm the world should ne
proceed 10 re-elect Mr. Wilson by the
same procedure in 1916?
Why on his own showing, ii would
not only be Illogical but unpatriotic!
The only possible chance of a demo-
cratic victory in 1916 lies in the chance
of the continuance of the Roosevelt
bolt. And the colonel knows that.
Does he owe nothing politically To the
republican party? Everything, we
should say.

such an institution. II moving pic

bad for adults as they are for chill

and does not laud crime one which
