THIRD PARTY CONVENTION
MAY SOON BE CALLED.
The , third national party, cham
pioning the principles of Theodore
Roosevelt, may find its beginning in
Florida today on the receipt of a
promised telegram to Col. H L. An
derson. In a statement last night,
he said that such a telegram would
mean the calling of a State conven
tion, which will represent from 75
to 80 per cent of Republicans, and
numerous Democrats over the Penin
sula State.
According to his statement, there
is a deal of enthusiasm back of the
third party movement in Florida. Un
solicited assurances, he says, have
come from representative Democrats
that their sympathies will lead them
to at least investigate the merit3 of
a third party. By the time of the
State convention of the third party
he believes there will be still others.
The strength of the present State
Republican party, in so far as its
supporters are concerned, will go to
the third party in a telling manner.
r. is said. The workers for the new
party in Florida term the national
convention of Republicans in Chi
cago 1- st month, an absolute denial
of t r principles, and the Palatka
conve 'on held last February, as de
feating e will of a Repub'Ican ma
jority in the State.
Col. Anderson stated last night
that he partially expected a telegram
from the national headquarters of the
party yesterday. Today he is prac
tically certain of Its receipt, and just
after this a whirlwind plan of or
ganization for a State convention
will be Inaugurated. So far, how
ever, he was unable to give any of
the general plans of the third party
convention of the State, In getting
ready for the national party conven
tion in Chicago, Aug. 5.
So confident is he that the third
party will gain a strong foothold in
Dixie, tbat he hopes Florida will lead
the list in breaking the solid south
from a Democratic standpoint and the
defeat of what Is termed in political
parlance as "the officeholder's trust"
