That act was the work of men who are despota at

because ol any partisan advantau'es. but because
it has a ".'a in set our feet in the path of political

POLITICAL STRAWS
Before leaving for Cabfonoa the other day
Col. Hooscvclt gave the YV a h inu'toii I'ost it ri in-
terview in which h stated that in the next cam-
paign he would while not formally re entering the
Kepiiblican party lnve his support to any "de-
cent" Kepuhliei'ii. by vvhuh he meant it is as-
sumed a Kepiililieau whose reactionary taint and
tendency is not of the ultimate or the penultimate
desfi-eo.
The colonel made it clear that he regards the
country in a verv s-rimis condition due t i the
mistakes of President Wilson. "1'residcnt Wilson
is a second Miiehanan." is one of the terse state-
ments of the colonel. Also ili:l patriotism and
love of country calls for evev man to sink his
pride and preferences if need be in order to place
the government in experienced hands that will
bring prosperity and contentment to the people.
It has long been known that there would he
iio Progressive presidential tick. I in the field next
year: or if one. that it would he compelled to 'o
without the slippost of ('id Koosovelt. -This public
announcement may be accepted as settling the mat
ter oi for all.
