Show CHANCES FOR A THIRD PARTY Gone glimmering, thinks a contemporary, con-temporary, Is all chance ot a third party's ticket In the next national election el-ection .since Senator Johnson refuses to lead It. Possibly not. When the common ease ReyuMtcaaa have gat la ens field a arealdevtlal candidate and a national platform unstreaked with any league ot MjUons fantastlcs and when tho common aense Democrats have done the same thing, is is the belief universal that the unconvinced and unconvlnclble gentloman now In the Whlto House still will be holding the fort. There Is conviction as well among tho Democrats that the inflexible inflex-ible gentleman is as unbendingly set upon a third nomination as he Is upon up-on a first covonant. His sublimity of solltudo in both ihese resolves docs but the moro confirm him In them. Whereforo it might coma to pass that whtlo the Republicans in tho United Statea wero trooping to tho polls to vote for their party's candidates can-didates and platform, and likewise while tho Democrats of tho United States were trooping to the polls to vote for theirs, Mr. Wilson might be marshaling visions on the horizon under the music ot voices In the air to storm the third term citadel. There is no glimmering chance tot tho third term no more chanco for It than for the covenant? But in this free country, still possessed ot its political Institutions, privileges and custom, there Is always otfortttslty for anybody to run for president on some personalty conducted party's ticket It he doesnt Bind not getting the votes.
