PARKER EoR VICE PRESIDENT.
New York Man Suggested ns Bryan,s
Running Mate.

N'PONlai ~ me HOSt,1
Washington, May 2l-Strong Influences
are at work to secure the nomination for
vice president on the democratic ticket of
Justice Parker of the supreme bench of
New York. He has been mentioned be-
FORE but his name was never given the
serious prominence 1t Is now receiving.
Numerous democrats have been In the
the meeting OF the league of democratic
city for the past few days, called here by
clubs and theaeongressional Campaign
committee. 1t is claimed that the noml-
nation of Justice Parker would meet with
the hearty approval of the Southern and
Western democrats. who otherwise would
object TO the selection of an Eastern man
1t is claimed by Justie Parker's friends
that because of his popularity in New
York state his name on the Bryan ticket
might carry that State for the democrats
1t Is pointed out that when Augustus Van
WyclS was defeated in 1897 Justice Parker
was elected, Because OF these facts his
candidacy is being given a respectful hear
ing by the democratic party managers.
1T is admitted that something must DO
done TO strengthen the ticket in New
York State. and the argument advanced is
that it could not be better accomplished
than by the nomination of Justice Parker
for second place.

Another advantage possessed by Wash
