He predicted "rebirth" OF the third
party. Johnston did not seem to be
disturbed at the withdrawal of the la
Dor elements and the socialists.
"The new third party will incorpo-
rate progressives and liberals and will
not indicate an extreme movement
such as labor or farmer-labor,
Johnston said.
Johnston said the party will be a
LaFollette party which will be named
at a convention, the date of which has
not been set. He said the various
states will hold conventions before
the national convention and ian exc
cutive committee of five will be an

Consider Secondhand 5roadeaster.
Only one resolution was adopted in
the early hours Of the convention.
It dealt with the purchase Of a second
hand broadcasting station in Phila-
delphia, advised by Leo Harkins, $50
cialist" organizer.
In his speech Debs was strong for
starting weekly paper and getting
hold Of a printing plant. Both these
steps indicate the utter bankruptcy of
the socialist" movement, which is
frantically striving for some sort Of
expression.

Washington was satisfied to go
thru life with an admittedly stupid

tbs, because when he married her he
took charge Of her fortune of fifteen
thousand acres of land, in addition to
three hundred Negro slaves and
thirty thousand pounds.
In his first letter to William Craw-
ford, dated Sept. 81, 1867, Washing
ton outlined his plot for the seizure
Of western lands. He first cautiously
requested Crawford to stake out for
him, with the utmost secrecy as to
who was behind the plot, "a tract of
about fifteen hundred, two thousand
or more acres"
