SHEPARD AND
 PARKER GO SOUTH
Two Presidential Possibilities to Speak in Three Southern States
 This Week.

New York World.
 With Judge Alton B. Parker and Ed ward M. Shepard, both Democratic Pres idential possibilities, speaking in three Southern States, the South will be the political centre of the week,
 Judge Parker is to fill the only speak ing engagement he has been willing to make since his name became prominent among those mentioned for the Demo- cratic nomination for the Presidency by delivering an address before the Georgia State Bar Association.
 Edward M. Shepard leaves tonight to make two speeches in the South, and during his absence of ten days will trav- el through several Southern States He will deliver the commencement address at the Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va, on Wednesday, and later in the week will deliver an address before the Alabama State Bar Association at Montgomery, Ala.
 While MT Shepard is at Montgomery before the Bar Association. there Judge Parker will be just across the line in Georgia speaking to the Bar Association of that State
 Judge Parker accepted the invitation to speak in Georgia early last fall before the first mention had been made of his candidacy for President. As early as last August he received a letter from Burton Smith, brother of Hoke Smith. former Secretary Of the Interior. inviting him to speak before the Georgia Association. He then accepted. His friends say that if his name had then been before the public in the way it is now he would have declined
 The occasion of his visit to Georgia is expected to be made much of hy his ad- mirers there. Many men, ike Hoke Smith, in that State, have expressed their opinion that he is a most available can didate for the Presidency.
 MT Shepard's visit to the South will be the second he has made this year. Ho spoke at New Orleans in the early spring. Last year he delivered the commencement oratton before the University of Georgia. He has made many friends in the South during his visits.
 Discerning politicians say that the Snuths Presidential choice will be made between the two men who are to speak there this week. and this fact renders their visit all the more interesting to politicians, even though the character of their mission Is purely non-politicaI.
