Sever-', al hundred pe::ple attended, and en joyed a barbecue and picnic dinner. Solicitor Wm. C. Hammer was the principal speaker of he day . MIKE TO PAT My Dear Patrick: They've gone nd done it. The reputed "Progressives' have bolted the Grand Old Pig(G. O. P.) and have held their own convention or mass meeting or something or other. We are very much surprised that these bolter8 have shed no tears in taking their departure from the famous old aggregation which they have "landed higher than the bright, blue skies in past years- How are w t0 believe them? Until the THIRD Termer bolted for no oth4 reason than, xhai the Chicago convert 'ion failed t0 nominate him they have been abusing Taft, and saylng that he and his crowd are the salt of the earth- We have always believ ed Taft to be a very weak but strict ly honest mn, and that the crowd behind him and the third termer.too were political thief s. Now, that they have fallen out, there i3 some hope that honest men are going to get their dues- But we are more amused than surprised- Some of the members of the Third Term party have chang ed politics so often it hns kept them turning around like a little' boy'8 top- ".Number Five" must change his name now, for he is in his sixth party. He joined three in one year. Ha. was at that time like a real es tate man taking option8 on property that was likely to be wanted by some -rar.t corporation. He took on every .'bing, in sight, so that he might have one which would win . t think 'it is a misnomer 'o ctill 'horn bull mooser8 or progressives They are THfRD TEHMERS, that Mid nothing more- Their Prfs'e'er..-M'-'l candidate Is ruiinlng in a no-.v .,urty simply because the stcrr,i roller "ie constructed in 190S rn over him i i 1012, and he therefore failed to get the nomination- 'He, is the e""1 dldfJe of the hnrveser tmsst, te oil trust, the tobacco trust, "thc whis Voy trust,. and every other. trut which wants favor (In- the form cf r tariff law fnd protection from prose cution by the United Siates depart ment of-- justice-, .-. We note that they claim to want a joint cnnvas8 with Locke Craig- It is something new for 4hrt crowd to want a joint canvass, for in this county these who would have 8 joint canvas8 with them would first have t0 run them down- But if Mr. Craig thinks he can afford to si ay in such company a little while let h'im go ahead, but we suggest that' they hove the third termers as well as the G- Q. P- candidates in the canvaS9- But that "Armageddon" lisp of theirs is gett'irg famous. It . is 8 new word to the masses of them, and they have not yet learned to frame for it8 correct pronunciation, but it is to be hoped they will learn one b'ig, new word during this cam paign. Tail; cbcut thrjr stnr.dir.g at Armageddon tjify will have to do better than their ancestors d'id the night Gidecn, with three hundred men, put them to route with pitch ers and to-ches- We wish to say ju a few word8 about Woodrcw WiJscn tj,ia tjme, not that he needs them, but flnt sm ova them to him. Let every Ban est man contrast him with the third term candidate. He in too much of a well-bred gentleman to del in abuse- He speak8 In the kindest, mo3t gentlemanly terms cf his op ponents, and waited quite a while a few dn.yg rgo at the Pennsylvania ste.tjrr In New Ycrk City t0 greet Mr. Taft, because he 'felt U hi8 du ty as a patriotic ciUren to pay his respects to the President cf the Unl ed States, even 'If that President did happen to be running against him- Leek then at the third term can didate, runrfing an over the West on trains hired with trus1 money, and foaming at the mouth, saying things (00 .rough for any well-bred man to repeat. Every man- measures other men as he sees himself- The third term candldate call8 other people liars becaufle he understand8 very clearly how he himself regards the truth when it stands in hi3 way. He call8 other candidate8 who oppose. him "tools of the bosse8" simply be cause, being nothing more than that himself, ho can think of no other appellation- He accuses Taft and his followers- of ftf-aMue- the nomination-at Chicapo r-pcawt he knows how he did it In IPng and In 1904. "Out of the a-hnndvce of the heart he month speaheth."
