Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Has
Thrown Full-Sized Scare Into
Their Ranks.
'THIRD -PARTY NEARING END
Followers qf Oyster Bay Man Be
lieve That He Plans To' Leave
Them In The' Lurch.
Washington: Aug. 27. 'Colonel Theo:
dore Roosevelt has thrown a' man
sized scare into the ranks of the Bull
Moose leaders in Congress. - He has
intimated plainly that he will accept
the ' Republican nomination . again ; if
the Republicans will accept his politi
cal creed. ... ' 1 , ' '
To the down-the-line,' ; true-blue,
never-surrender third-party people here
this is almost treason. They cannot
believe : that '''the ''Colonel', - meant
anything of the kind. They ' cannot
be convinced that he would deliberately
leave them high and dry after all his
protestations against any . suggestion
of amalgamation. ..,'- " .
And yet this is just exactlywhat he
appears willing to agree -to, provided
the Republicans become as progressive
as he and his followers are. ; They fe; r
he is even willing to march to battle
again under the old Republican banner,
regardless of his one-time scorn of any
thing bearing that designation. :
All this is causing infinite worry in
the little group of Bull Moose m Wash
ington. The leaders of this miniature
organization do, not rebel so much
at the idea of a get-together; plan as
they do at the . suggestion of self
repudiation. , .They havesworn they
will never be associated with anything
Republican again, and they doubt if
they -could sommersault back into the
old party again, even though colonel
Roosevelt took ' the ? springboard first
and made a safe. landing. . ' . .'
This alarm has come too, at a time
when Murdock, Hibebaugh 'and 'the
rest ' of- them are ' preparing to . make
a valiant stand in Maryland, Maine
and West? Virginia. They are preparing
to ' put 'ip Bull Moose -Candidates
in each of the districts where Congress
men are to be elected and to make
as brave a show of fight as they can.
- There will be no heart in-the coming
test campaign, Bull Moose leaders ad
mit, unless Colonel Roosevelt makes it
plain again that he" will under no
circumstances return to the old party,
whatever may be the conditions or
the terms or the inducements., . That
assurance and that alone will satisfy
the third-party people here and restore
their confidence, in the' future; . '
The truth is, the belief ha9 prevailed
in Washington lor months ' that the
former President would be a candidate
in the primaries for the next Presiden
tial nomination of the Republican party.
Old party leaders as well as the middle-of-the-road-
people have entertained
that suspicion. Therefore, the sug
gestion and it is only a suggestion
from Colonel Roosevelt, : that the
parties might possibly get together
again creates no big surprise here, v

And The White People.
.'. Raps Glynn.
Columbia, S. C, Aug. 27. Governor
B lease wrote Governor Sulzer of New
York yesterday that South Carolina
recognized Sulzer as the Governor of
New York. He expressed sympathy for
him and told him to "Let the politi
cians and ringsters howl and squirm
and convince the people that you are
right. He continues, "Trust in God
and the white people and you will al
ways be a winner." ,
Governor Blease says that he is con
vinced that Acting Governor Glynn
is just trying to obtain a little noto
riety out of the misfortune of another,
"which kind of conduct no honest
man ever sympathizes with."
j '. The letter wasin reply to one which
IjGovernor Sulzer wrote to Governor
Blease outlining-hi; side of the case
and saying that Boss Murphy of Tam
;many Hall decided to ruin him when
'he couldn't make him his rubber
stamp. ' The New York Governor is
confident, his letter say , of ultimate
acquittal and that his policies will pre
vail. The following is a copy of the
letter Goveror Blease wrote to Gov
ernor Sulzer:
"Hon. William Sulzer, Governor,
"Albany, N. Y.
"My Dear Governor Sulzer Your
letter of August 23 has been reccwec.
am in full sympathy with you, and
sincerely hope that you will be able t
convince the people of New York a.l
the people of the United States th t
you are absolutely innocent of su;
wrongdoing. ; I myself last Sumr.ie;-
went through just about what you are
going through now, except that they
did not attempt the impeachment pro
ceedings. I convinced the people of
South Carolina that I was being perse
cuted, and they stood by me, and the
main thing for you to do is to let the
politicians and ringsters howl and
squirm, and convince the people that
you are right, and they will never for
sake you. Trust in God and the white
people, and you will always be a win
ner.' ; -
lSo i far as South Carolina is con-
cernedi" yju end 'om alur.e arc looked
upon s the Governor of Nev York. 1
think . Mr. - Glynn is shov ing very
much the "dog-in-the-man, e.- spirit
and the best element of the pe- pie of
this cointry, I am satisfied, think
about Glynn as do- that he is a
cheap politician endeavoring to get a
little notoriety out of the misfortune
of another' which .kind of conduct no
honest man ever sympathizes with.
With best wishes,
v Very Respectfully, .
"COLE L. BLEASE,
