Some of the Progressive party people profess to believe that the third term candidate has a chance to win Let's figure on it a minute. In 1908 the Republican candidate for president received 7,679,006 votes; tho Democratic candidate received 6,409,106. To win Mr. Roosevelt would have to receive a majority of this vote. It is a trait of human na ture that men cling tenaciously to long established habits, and therein. Taft and Wilson will Denent. nooso volt running stump, or at the head of a new party, is qulto different from Roosevelt running within his party as he did last spring at the pri maries. Even presuming that two thirds of the Republicans would leave their party, which is Incon ceivable, tho third term candidate would have to got nearly one-third of the normal Democratic voto to win. As straws show which way tho wind blows we suggest to our Bull Mooso friends, In all candor, that tnoy con aider Just how many Democratic re crults they have had at their two club meetings. -Next Friday will bo All Saints Day.
