The reference to . third
party was sandwiched In
between his citation Of Re-
publican achievement and
the promises for the future,
and on every hand it was
construed as a thinly-veiIed
admonition to the insurgents
within the party not to de-.
part from the roadway of
regularity in search of new
and strange political gods.
"A tendency toward third
party movements is manifest
wherever parliamentary gov
eminent exists said Con-
gresham Burton, after a
lengthy review of the party's
record in Washington.
EFFECT DEMORALIZING.
"This has been true of
most Of the countries in con-
tinental Europe for years.
The effect is inevitably de-
moralizing, involving failure
in constructive policies and
often times control by a
minority or combination Of
minorities. The w h o | e
theory of orderly and effec-
tive parliamentary govern
ment demands that the peo-
pie divide into two parties
on outstanding questions of
supreme Importance, thus
forming political organiza-
tons based upon certain
fundamental pr j n cipl e s,
while minor considerations
are relegated to a secondary
position.
Subject to Minorities.
"If we should tread the path
which so many other countries
have trod with disastrous results,
inefficiency and confusion would
be the outcome and there would
be an expression, not of majority
will, but the will of groups and
sections"
This was all. There was no di-
rect reference to menace of a
third party presented by the La
Toilette and allied insurgent
groups within the party, but none
of his hearers had any doubt as
to what this particular portion of
the keynote speech referred.

that much Of the blame that is
visited upon Republicans in the
present Congress is not deserved,
because on many major questions

This was a marked allusion to
che balance of power held in the
present Congress- by La Toilette and
his militant band Of insurgents,
who on nIore than one occasion
demonstrated their ability to swing

The REPUBLICAN, national convention was formally put
under way in Clevelands beautiful auditorium this
morning with the quiet precision Of weil-oileds
machine No fuss, no feathers no disorder, and
what noise thtrt was, was almost lost in the mag
ni6cent great open spaces Of the hall
The picture presented when the opening gavel
fell was theatrical rather than political The hall
was almost cathedral like in its vastness and beauty

yelling real loud" said the oldtimer. Here feel
as though were in church If that organ would
just strike up Nearer My God to Thee" I'd shut my
eyes and swear it was Sunday"
AN ARTISTIC TRIUMPH.
Cleveland certainly showed the hosts Of Republican
something in the way Of conventions. Il an
artistic iumph however cut and dried the politics Of the
meeting might be.
The delegates just and looked the spaciousness
the soft rose and violet lights shed down from the lofty
ceiling, and remarked about the absence of the familiar
bunting and red, white and blue decorations There
of the old familiar panopy and display Of other
