Washington. July 9, What la cer
tain to be a factor of Interest, and
probably of Importance, In the pres-
ldentlal campaign this year la the
.1 Independence league party. This or
. - ganlzatlon, which U reparded aa the
i ; corporate manifestation of the po
lemical activities of William Randoph
' Hearst, will enter national politics
ifor the first time when it holds its
I 'national convention at Indianapolis
on. July 27. The Independence league
has proved to be a potent factor in
--state and local politics in every state
where. Mr. Hearst has a newspaper
Massachusetts, New York. Illinois
and California. Its first venture on
the open eeas of national politics
will be watched with interest.
History ehowa that no third party
movement In the United States haa
aver been auccessful aa an organiza
tion. In other words, no third party
haa ever attained dominant, or even
.aeoond, position In national affairs. On
the other hand moat of the third party
movements have served to bring for
ward some political doctrine which haa
later been adopted by one or me two
big parties. 'i'nira panics iiuvh ur
quently held the balance of power in
presidential electlona, and the asplra
Iinna o more than one candidate nave
been wrecked upon the breakers of the
third party vote.

Question. . .
Only four times in the history of
the country haa a third party canal
dlate succeeded In gaining any votea
- In the electoral colleges. In 1832 the
Anti-Masons carried Vermont and gave
. eight votes for William Wirt; in 1868
the Know-Nothings carried Maryland
and arave eiirht votes for Millard f ill
more; In 1860 the Constitutional Union
r party carried Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee. . aivlng 89 votes to John
; Bell. Since the civil war there haa
: been but one Instance, that of 1882,
when the Populists carried Kansas, Col
orado, Nevada and Idaho, and one voto
each In North Dakota and Oregon, glv-
i lng 22 votes to James B. Weaver,
t - Early Movement.
Tbo first third party made Its ap
t eearance soon after the division be-
tween Democrats and Federalists be
cam well defined. It gloried in the
name of "Quid Tertlum." This "third
- something" was a revolt against the
Democrata as led by Jefferson and Mad
ison, and was led by the brilliant John
Randolph of Boanoke. It waa organ
ized in 1805. Three years later. Just a
i century ago. It nominated James Mon
. roe for president against James Madi
son. The movement collapsed before
" the elections, and Monroe was there
Ji after a good enough Democrat to be
-twice elected president.
- the next third party movement was
the result of popular agitation against
the Masons and other secret societies.
- It grew out of the mysterioua dlaap-
-pearance of William Morgan of Batavla,
New York, for which Masons were held
" responsible by sensational gossips. Pol
iticians who feared the rising sun of
'Andrew Jackson's power attempted to
. .form a party which would carry them
to victory, based on this idea. No. other
: 'third party In history boasts so many
., ; distinguished names In the list of Its
n organizers and supporters. There were
- Ttrurlow Weed, William H, Seward,
-Millard Fillmore, Thaddeus Stevens.
Salmon P. Chase, John McLean and
,Willlain Wirt. It had the moral aup
; port of the great senatorial triumvirate,
Webster, Clay and Calhoun, although
r 'they were never committed to Its doc
; trlnes. Clay waa a Mason and waa
. willing to use the party to strike Jack
. i son. but he could not take part In Its
propaganda.
The Aatl-Maaonlo Party.
The Anti-Masonic party carried aev
eral state elections, sent many mem
bers to congress and for a time seemed
' to be a live proposition. It carried but
one state for Its presidential candidate
. In 1SS!, and very soon thereafter sunk
to lta death. It has the distinction of
having orlginatd the delfgated nomi
nating convention, soon adopted by all
tne lights. 1 he hiqual Rights men re
lighted them with locofooo'" matches
then a novelty. Thut gave them the
name Tocofoco. Tho Democratic1 party
throughout the nation was affected bv
the movement, and In later yeara the
Whigs derisively called all Democrats
"loeofocoes.
The antl-Cathnllc sentiment has sev
eral times manifested itself In a po
litical movement. Tha demands made
for a division of tliu public school
funds between Protestants and Catho
lics In the thirties started the first,
which took the name of the "national
Democratic organization." There was
no national movement until IMS, and
Its first candidate for president was
Zarharv Taylor, nominated by tho "Na
tive American party." In 1Mb. Aa Gen
eral Taylor was also nominated by tho
Whigs it was not an Independent move
ment. ' Know Hotfclaflam.
In 1SB8 this movement reappeared In
the form of a seoret organization. When
its adherents were askod about lta plans
or principles, the unvarying answer
was, "I know nothing about It."
Whereupon the name "Know Nothing"
was applied to the party. It "plumped"
votea for tta favSrlte candidate of the
old partlea and spread consternation
over the country. It made some won
derful campaigns In state and local
elections, but waa always unsuccessful
In national affairs. In 1866 Its candi
date, Fillmore, was Indorsed by the
remnant of the Whlgs, which probably
accounts for the success In Maryland.
In IStfO the party look the name of
Constitutional Union and carried three
states; not by virtue of lta doctrines,
but because It was the only haven of
refuge for the Whigs of tho border
states who could stomach neither Dem
ocrats nor Republicans.
It was the "know nothing" sentiment
which caused the Republicans to pre
fer Lincoln to Seward In 1880. It

made another appearance In the west
and south about 16 years ago under tho
name the "American Protective Asso
ciation." Since the war It has had no
expression In natolnal politics.
The effect of the third rjartv vote
upon presidential contests is sometimes
telling. In 1844 the Abolition vote In
New York, small as It was, carried the
state for Polk by taking away support
irom ciay, tnus losing tne presidency
for the "great pacificator." In 1848
the Free Soil vote In Pennsylvania had
the effect of electing Taylor over Cass.
If the antl-Democratlc vote In Penn
sylvania In 1856 had not been divided
Dy tne candidacy Of Fillmore there is
little doubt that Fremont would have
carried the state and gained the White

oiaer organisation.
Since the war the notable third party
movements have been those of the Pop
ulist and Prohibitionists. In 1884 the
Prohibitionists polled 25,616 votes In
New York, mostly from the Republic
ans. Cleveland s plurality over Blaine
was only 1,149, so It has been asserted
that the "Prohl" vote defeated Blaine.
Four yfears later a change of 6,602 votes
In New York would have defeated Har
rison. The Prohibitionists polled over
80,000 votes in the state that year.
The Socialist party movement has
shown a steady gain. Debs' vote Jump
ing from 87,000 In 1-900 to over 400,000
In 1904. This movement Is quite dlf-j
ferent from other third party efforts.
however, In that It alms at complete
revolution of the whole system of gov
ernment, rather than at a specific re
form of legislation or administration. 1
t is the only party which stands se
verely alone, and It Is more European
than American In organization and
methods.
Not slnoe 1892 haa a third party can
didate become an Important feature of
the presidential campaign. The Inde
pendence party may furnish plenty of
excitement In the race which Is Just be
ginning. There Is no doubt but that the
leaders of both old parties are much In
terested In the movements of Mr.
Hearst and his followers. Upon the
outcome of the Indianapolis convention
may depend the election In November.

sides In a small town she has started
at once to take advantage of the ex
tremely productive surrounding towns
and will extend her canvass as far as
is neoessary to lead In her district. Wi
hope to see Miss McKinney do even bet
ter work as the contest progresses and I
sne win no douot make a rirst rate run.
Ralph Bobnett, second In the list, has
done some very hard work considering
the fact that he entered some few days
later than other contestants. He Is
raaklnet a very strong and active Can

and is meeting with good success. He
tells us that everyone wants to help
a Journal scholarship contestant, and
he expects that some of his promises
will a little later run up his score so
that ne will lead over all other contest
ants.
Coos County Contestant.
Ray Haines of Myrtle Point makes a
tool showing in third place and has a
backing of the southern part of Coos
county. He will also draw considerable
from Curry county.
The low vote polled by some of the
contestants is no criterion or tne result
of the contest, as somo of the wozkera
had only started In the campaign a few
days before. The next score may change
the aspect of the whole standing. The

We are constantly adopting new styles and changing models. Necessarily we must weed out the
continued lines and broken sizes promptly or we would soon be handicapped with the undesirable
ulations of ordinary shoe stores. The present occasion is a straightforward, bona fide clearan
some of our bc;t regular lines. The reductions are especially strong, because based on regular prices which
are famously low for shoes of such high quality. Our store is less than a year old we have not a single
old-style 6hoe in our entire stock.
Tomorrow morning we place on sale at special prices three large lota of our regular
"Crawford" ahoes for men and women. We include all leathers many shapes high and
low shoes nearly all aires. The lota are made up of many of our best styles on which
demand has been particularly heavy this season; in a few instances the aires are badly
broken. Every portion of our stock has been drawn on for this clean-up and you will
have no difficulty in satisfying any shoe fancy for man or woman.
The CRAWFORD is not governed by tradition. We go to unusual lengths in a persistent effojf to satisfy
discriminating shoe taste. We guard against old styles by promptly disposing of all stylesas soon as
sizes are broken. Hence this remarkable offering.
