By TJIYID LAWRE.CB
WASHINGTON. D. C May . Both
Republicans and Democrats

political Judgment is usually accurate
now are convinced that a third party
is inevitable.

not so much based upon a conversion
to Republican doctrine as it Is upon
personal fondness for Hit-am John

the conservative leaders f the Re
publican party do not welcome.

Preparations already are under
way tor a third party compoaeJ
of some of the element which
broke a nay in 191 and formed
the Progressive party, some of
the radicals vrho like neither the
Republican nor Democratic
parties the voters controled by
the chain of Hearst newspapers,
and blc groups who are Irrecon
cilably opposed to the ratifica
tion of tbe peace treaty, even
with reservations.
Many of the supporters of the third
parry would be drawn from the Demo
cratic ranks. It looks, for instance.
as if the Democratic convention will
not nominate a radical of the Bryan
type. McAdoo, Cox and Palmer, who
are in the lead for the Democratic
nomination, are more or less con
servative. They all favor the treaty
and league of nations. Disappoint
ment over the failure of the Republi
can or Democrataic conventions, re
spectively, to recognize the Johnson
or Bryan strength would compel their
supporters to torn eisewnere. xney
would be welcomed with open arms
in a tnira party.

when those dements have been sub

ant strength of the Republican party
In each of the important states would
still be sufficient to carry tbe elec
toral vote for the Republican ticket.
Bnt in the Democratic camp the
third party is accompanied by a sense
of Jubilation and expectancy. The
Democrats are basing their hopes on
what happened In 1312. They think
a third party means an easy victory.
Of coarse, they are assnmlnR

The Republican leaders will make

Is unavoidable, they win try to pre
