THIRD PARTY FIARCO When the third partyites named at Philadelphia former State Treasure: W. H. Berry for governor their move. ment collapsed. It was assemblage in which soreheads, office. seekers and reformers revenue dominated. and. as was easily surmis ed, they selected a type for the chilies candidacy From ordinary foresight the third party scheme could only ad- vance the prospects of the Penrose gang. whose defeat was its ostensible purpose to compass Now that Berry becomes the nominee this diversion of strength from the genuine party of reform is reduced to a minimum and the true Independent Is confronted with the easily-solved question of his pensible alignment to effect his honest desire for the eradication of corrupt bossism. It must be with the Demo- cratic party Former Mayor Berry was swept In. to office on a reform wave, and during his ofMecial tenure the State capitol steal was exposed. There will be ne detraction from whatever credit Is due to him In those premises But, as many have suffered before, the appe- tite for office assalled him, until it has become as dire an afMiction as the thirst for whisky, which he would favor Ineffective and un-Demoeratie methods to suppress. His wild am- bitions swelled until he clamored for the vice presidency at Denver Put recently at Allentown he was willing to forego his prohibition crankism If & regular Democratic convention would nominate him for governor. He received, In fact, one-third the votes of that body, and now In his jiited moments Is willing to betray and de- moralize, to his feeble extent, that party’s battle array. No cause Is suf- fering that evokes Mr. Berry's protest; no chicanery has made him its vietim Nothing but the quenchless craving for office compels him to abandon the principles which guide honorable men, He is an advocate of fads such as the recall, and the single tax, a theory which two centuries ago the physio erates of France, in modified form, rat ie ar chronic for $1.50 Per YEAR | You are expected to indepen | Philadelphia | known | Along | over | tried and tossed aside, Among the farmers of Pennsyivania, where Dom. ooratie strength abides, this Georgian fantasy would mean suicide, This en- tire devotion of comment to the heaa of the third ticket is advisedly given because the whole substance and in- spiration of: such a movement must {be found in the standard hearer, If there be a strain of bitterness in all this, It comes not from any displeas- ure with the nomination itself, but {| from nausea over the antics Mr. Ber- i ry constitutes the agitation and we re. jolce that the menace to Democratic guccess Is so negligable (The next article is from an inde Republican the Phila- North American, that fear SAVE it thinks of Ed.)

Events of the past month have proved that the welfare of Pennsylvania in state affairs {1s not safe in the hands of the men | who control the machinery of either the Democratic or Republican party. Between the two big parties in the state there is an unholy alllance, and that alliance Is made by one thing greed It Is greed thet holds to- gether the leaders of the Republican party with the Democratic party It is greed that allowed the state convgntion at Allentown dominated and controlled by who nre neither Republicans Democrats In the traditions parties but who are political Captain Kidde, seeking only the means that will keep the people of the state en. thralled. The Republican state cone vention Harrisburg was farce of the first water and the actors were divided into groups just like those used on the stages of the syndicate play houses—stars (the eminently respectable ones), lesser lights (those who seek the favor of the bosses), supers (those sought-for individuals “who were called delegates) How long will the decent gent people of Pennsylvania to permit this sort of thing? There is a war In progress country today. It is the fight of the dollar against the man. On which side are you? If you are for the dol- lar, then stick with the pirates for vou might possibly, get of the crumbs from the tables of your lords and masters. If you are for the man shake off the spectre which enthralls you and get in the fight.
