Mr.. Chairman, the republican party is
coming back into power. The proof of
Il is on every hand. The trend is I'M
mstakable. / said year ago that the
amalgamation which would take place
would be an amalgamation of the vot-
es, not the assumed leaders. l said
furthermore that that was the only
. amagamation that was worth while.
The men who voted the third party
| ticket to the number of four million
| for reasons entirely satisfactory to them
/ can neither be questioned as to their
integrity of purpose or their patriotism
But that 1t was protest and not a
manifestation of purpose to permanent
y leave the party is now established
BY facts and figures which cannot be
doubted. l think it worth while to call
your attention to some of those figures.
In the New Jersey state election last
year 10000 republicans who voted the
third party ticket returned and voted
the republican ticket. In 1912 in Multi
nomah county, Oregon, the dcmocrats
cast 1884 votes, the third party II,
szS and the republican party 9.212. Since
mat time they have adopted woman
suffrage which you ought to do in Mich
