Judge Parker is reported to
have said this: II do not really
care whether | am elected presi-
dent or not. | did not seek the
Office and do not particularly want
it. l will not do one singl thing to
help forward my election. If the
people want me | shall be glade to
serve, but ann not going to ask
anybody to vote for me-"
If a man don't want a thing and
is not interested enough in it to
make an effort to get it, he doesn't
generally get it. And this indif-
ference on the part of Judge Park
er account, for the Indifference on
the part Of his friends. No wonder
Tom Taggart can't get up any en-
thusiasm in this campaign.

stimulated retail trade in light weight
fabrics and jobbers report that orders
from agricultural communities are
much better than from manufacturing
centers. There are still many COM
plants of slow collections.
1t is gratifying to note in dispatches
from iron and steelmaking centers
that the decline in quotations has
ceased and consumers are making in.
