City Solicitor George Cooke. when
asked in regard to his turning out in

days Intelligencer that me had been
On the fence for some time" etc.. said:
L do o think an explanation is neces-
sary, as it is we'll known by my friends
and associates how it was that l came
to appear in the parade. There is no
political significance to it. 1t was
purely a matter Of sociability among
my Republican friends, and to turn on
on a wager in parade with those of your
opposite political belief, l do not be-
lleye to be a crime. BY so doing so |
cannot see where my party has lost, or
the Republican party gained, and this
attempt TO make political capital out of
it is too silly to talk about. My party
Affiliations and my political belief and
my attitude in this campaign are we'll
known, and where I stand has never be-
fore been questioned. AS to my "be-
ing on the fence you can say most
emphatically that l stand to-day where
/ have always stood, and l intend to
give my support and cast my vote for
William Jennings Bryan"
