Washington, March 2l. {
 1t Is not unlikely that an erstwhile Ala bamian will be the Democratic nominee for Vice-President at the St. Louis con- Judge Parker for the head of the ticket can carry the day.
 The complete ticket as urged by a prominent advocate. Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, is Alton E. Parker of New York and George Turner of Wash ington. Not a few others have been dis cussing the name of the Democratic ex- Senator from Washington State for the second place on the ticket.
 Mr. Turner is in the prime of his vigor. and is just about the age of Judge Park CT, being 5s years old. He was United States Marshal for the Southern and Mid die Districts of Alabama from 1876 to lss0: was Associate Justice of the Sue preme Court for the Territory of Wash ington from July {, 1884. until February IS, 1888: and a member Of the Constitu- tional Convention which framed the con- stitution when the Territory was made a State. He was elected to the United States Senate and served a full term. which expired March 4. 1908.
 About Judge Parker's qualifications. wa all know" said Mir. Dubois today. He is conservative and safe, a regular Democrat and a man, in my Judgment. who can command the support of an amalgamated and closely welded De- 1nocracy.
 Could Sweep Country.
 '.TIe can carry New York State. and with such man as Turner as his run ming mate believe we can sweep the country. Mir. Turner is q man of emil nent qualifications. He Is lawyer of the first degree. Ills ability in the respect of legal learning and acunen is attested by the fact that President Roosevelt select IAd him ae one of the Commissioners to Mo t0 Ensland for the purpoae of eetAaing the Alaskan boundary dispute.
 fin the Far West Mir. Turner ts welt known ana intensely popular If we are to make any inroad upon the Roosevelt popularity In this section 1t will be nec- essary to nominate man for Vice Pres ident of Mir. Turner's callbre. There can be no doubting the fact that Turner is popular out in our country.
 Aside from his political faith, the President gained thousands of friends re- gently by his persistent advocacy of ir. rigation appropriations. When the irrIKa- ton money was forthcoming hundreds of Democrats leaped over to the Repubii- can side of the fence With Mir. Turner upon the Democratic ticlWt we can re- gain a great proportion Of this strength, think that the Parker and Turner ticket could not only carry New York. but New Jersey, Connecticut. Delaware, Indiana and many of the Western and Pacific coast States as woll.
 Tn my opinion 1t would be the higher wisdom for the Democratic party to lay all possible emphasis upon the slogan of corruption as an issue. We have seen what was unearthed in the Postoffice De- pertinent. There may be other instances 0f a similar character which haVa been brought to light. The whole of the Executive Departments ought to be placed under the llmelight of minute pub- licity and if there Is further rottenness the people should be appraised of that fact"
