Tue MENaAcE oF THE BOL?. 
There are several phases of the 
coming election to which none too 
much attention is being paid by the 
rank and file of the voters. With but 
one of these, however, is it necessary 
to deal at this time and that one is 
vital to the welfare of Massachusetts. 
In a few words it is the menace the 
bolting party holds out to the success 
of the State ticket of the Republican 
party. Whatever difference of opin- 
ion Republicans may have on national 
issues, and it is conceded that practi- 
cally the entire strength of the third 
party movement comes from the Re- 
publicans, there is no difference of 
views as to the desirability of con- 
tinuing the administrative policies of 
the Republicans in the management 
of the State. It is not possible to con- 
ceive of any third party gathering 
enough seats in the Legislature to gain 
control of that body or anything that 
approximates control. In many of 
the Legislative districts the vote in 
the past few years has been so close 
that a change of even a few votes 
will wipe out the small margin of vic- 
tory of the Republicans, and while 
these few votes can be no more than 
a compliment to the third party candi- 
date they are morally certain to de- 
feat the purpose and desire of the Re- 
publicans who cast them by resulting 
in the election of a Democrat to the

seat in the Legislature which is in 
question. 
This possibility is fraught with too 
many dangers to be passed over 
lightly. Should there be a Democratic 
Legislature it means a Democrat in 
the Speaker’s chair, one in the seat 
of the President of the Senate and 
what is far more serious a Democrat 
in the United States Senate from 
Massachusetts, which no Republican 
would care to see. 
Not only would a Democratic Legis- 
lature mean all these things, but it 
would also mean that the cities and 
towns about Boston would be brought 
into actual physical oneness with Bos- 
ton proper in a, Greater Boston bill; a 
thing for which none of the smaller 
residential 01 manufacturing places 
within the Metropolitan zone desire or 
relish thinking of. 
It would mean the complete over- 
turn of practically every policy of goy- 
ernment which, maintained for fifty 
years by the Republican Party, has 
placed our State in the front rank for 
sane and successful management. 
There is clearly too much at stake 
for any vote to be wasted in compli- 
ment to the individual or mistaken 
sense of too great duty to principle, 
which has no place in the discussion 
of purely local issues in the decision 
of which all good citizens should be 
united on the side of clean State Gov- 
ernment.
