'' Frank Munsey's great scheme of a "holding party'' to join the Bull Moos and Republican parties in a 1916 fight against Democracy has suffered a severe frost. Roosevelt said it was impracticable, George W. Perkins couldn't see his way clear to finance it, not even Gi f ford Pinchot nor Garfield would indorse it, and the Republican leaders declined to take it seriously. The Manila Times denies the story that Pres ident Wilson is to visit the Philippine islands soon after his inauguration. The Times declares the report is denied by Wilson himself, who said he had no. idea he could visit the islands (luring his term of office.
