PARKER's SILENCE BROKEN.
Republican Paper Pays Him a High
Compliment.

tChicagO RecOrd-H eraid. Rep
The story Of the last day Of the Demo
cratic national convention was as thrilling
as any novel. and it gives sensa tionaI
/ interest to the hitherto prosalc figure Of
Judge Parker.
As his telegram is read with due con-
sIderation Of all the circumstances IT viii
be seen that il contains suggestions both
( of courage and integrity. and also of a
( sagacity which might be variousiv con-
strOed. 1t might be shown. on the one
clement Of political astuteness- The
Judges telegram arrived in St. Louis at
very critical time in the deliberations
the party II he had been planning for
hiStriOnic effect during his long period
Of silence ne could not have found a
more fitting moment for q grand dramatic
climax in which he might oveTwhelm a
deluded and disorganized opposition
II is true also that the New York press
was menacing in its denunciation Of the
omission of any reference to the money
standard in the platform. And with equal
certainty # may be said that -he Demo-
cratic sentiment of Mir Farker's section
OF the country was offended by the OmiS-
sion. and that it was held, pretty generally
to lessen his chances OF election The in
fiuence of his environment, therefore, was
plainly favorable to such declaration as
ne peIHled and. he might nave yielded TO
It or expressed himself at a less Oppor-
tune moment.
But il is possible also to interpret his
action as evidence of good political sense
untainted by dfscFedit able trickery. and.
except on the theory that he is a puppet
worked by strings. IL certainly required
more than ordinary courage A storm was
sure to be raised. an honor highly coveted
was Tisked on the throw. The Unprece-
dented nature of the proceedings itself
implies resolution and decision OF char
acter. as well as the expression Of an hon
est and deeD-seated conviction. and the
determination not to leave any possibility
of misunderstanding as to the can
didate's future course
IF. therefore. there was astuteneSs IN
the move these considerations cannot be
left out of account. and for the present,
al least they will have great weight with
the public. The long-cOntinued silence
has been broken with good effect.

A GOOD ISSUE



So Senator Smoot is reported to have
thrown Callister overheard and 10 have
taken john G. Cutler as his prospective
nominee for the governorsbip.
Well. Il must nave required some heav-
Ing-not TO say putting and blOwing-fOr
canister is a heavyweight and ne would
not be cast 10 the voracious fishes with
OUT a struggle.
Hon. John g. Cutler would he a sweet
candidate. He Is not only what is known
as sugar man. bat he has one Of the
Rentlest and kindHest Of dispositions
eIhapS u IS combination OF interests
which has made him more attractive to
the junior senator than was the modest
dftisan. Ed Callister. who could rot be
expected to draw TO his support so much
OF the financial support Of Senator
ciates
It is a mighty handy thing for a sena-
toT TO have his man in the gUberBa tOrial
chair and Hon Reed Smoot is not to
blame from q political viewpoint il he
picks his own candidate and lands him
there-If the voters viii consent.
On this latter point we disagree with
our esteemed contemporary The Salt
Lake Herald which insinuates against
deiegauon by the Republican party of its
nominating powers TO one man. and that
man Senator SmOOt. We cali The Her
AID attention to the fact that the Re
publican party and Senator Smeot have
become one f. vital interest. and that
senator SmOOt represents the one at the
present time. Not only is his title TO his
seat on trial, but the Republican party
OF Utah is on trial for electing him To
protect his party here the national or
ganizatiOn ia convention Tefrained from
inserting any plank offensive TO his views.
II looks toward him. as the representa-
tive of that power By which Republican
victory can be attained in Utah and il
IS not a strained view that Republicans
Of this state must realize that unless Sen

Immediately behind his candidacy and mis-
contest in Washington shall have their
way in politics. Republican success here
Is jeopardized If not absolutely denied.
For our part we think q pretty good
division Of the question would be as fol-

Let Hon Reed SmOot write the Repub-
lican platform and name the Republican
ticket. Let the issue be on his part
whether the people viii support him IN
the present controversy. which has d.
ready cost the state too much
There IS a good square division ana

TO The salt Lake Herald:

HE overshadowing trait of the

No tragedy could be 50 shocking

the greater part OF the-most solemn &C
