DlSapproycs Third Ticket.
Certain OF my friends who feel that
the progrcssiyVs should run a third
ticket base their feeling on objection
90 the character OF the republican ma
tionai convention. A. regards this
point. u IL sufficient 20 say that the
members OF the republican national
convention were unqucstionably In

cause OF the belief that his integrity
and force Of character. and his long
record Of admirable public service.
would make him peculiarly accept.
able. not only Co the rank and file Of

any OF us may be az regards the ac.

wish very solcmnly TO ask the repre-.

consider az this time only the welfare
OF the people Of the United States. We

The world IL passing through a
great crisis and no man can tell what
trial and jeopardy viii have 90 be
faced by this nation during the years
Immediately ahead There Is now
no longer before us FOR decision the
question as 10 what particular man
We may severally most desire 20 see
at the head of the government. We
can decide only whether during these
possibly vital years this country shall
be- entrusted Ia the leadership OF MIR.

Wilson Found Wanting.
