Where Roosevelt's Strength Lays.

Just now the thought uppermost in
minds thinkable, is: What's Rooe.
velt's chances to win What's
Parker's chances to win? From n
lofty view it seems u certainty for
Roosevelt; from the same lofty view
it seems certainty for Parker's defeat.
And on delving into causes and effect
not easily observable to the naked
eyes, it looks very much like swing
lug around to Parker's support BY pre-.
dominating money trusts and in
terests.
The Standard Oil interests have
shown their hand in plainly dema nd
ing to know, beforehand: "Mr. Roose.
welt, il We support you literally,
financially, will you promise to keep
your hands Oh the trusts" As the
Standard Oil people 60, so perforcs
will the vast majority Of money and
trust interests go; and this day money
10 strength. But the other surety lie.
President Roosevelt has made .
record that meets with tho perfect
appreciation OF the masses Of the peo-
pie OF the United States, and that
means the voting majority. When
the vast money interests flock to
Parker's support, it will be to think,
and rightly so, as Lincoln said -
"You can fool PART OF the people all
the time, but you can't fool ALL the
people all the time"
But, to put it in nutshell, Parker
has no more chance to win than has q
rabbit to jump over the moon.
Roosevelt, without the money inter.
ests' support, will have the support Of
the voting majority that we're fooled
part Of the time, but can't be fooled
all the time" In fact all have arrived
~ that view point where they know
that Roosevelt's non-support Of the
trust and money interests is a bless
ing for the best interests of the comn.
try and individually for every man.

MISSOURI CROP REPORT.
Crops Reported Not in Best of Condi
tion-0ats Improving.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, May 3l.-The fol-
lowing bulletin on crop conditions
was issued ty-day by the United States
Department OF Agriculture:
Warn, growing weather prevailed
throughout the State on the 23d, oath
and 18th, but during the latter part OF
the week the temperature was again
below the normal. The precipitation
OF the week up to Saturday was gen.
orally light except In portions of the
central and western sections, where it
exceeded l inch, and in a number Of
the extreme southern counties rain
was beginning to be needed for small
grains and grasses, but the conditions
were favorable for showers during
Saturday night and Sunday, and late
reports indicate that light to moder-
ately heavy rains occurred in all sec
lions. Corn planting is now nearly
completed In most of the southern
and is well advanced in many of the
central and northern counties. In
some OF the northern and west central
counties, however, only about half of
the crop has been planted.
The later planted corn is generally
coming up well, but a large portion Of
that planted earlier will have TO be
planted over. Corn has made better
growth during the past week, but the
nights have been too cool for rapid
progress.
Oats have improved somewhat dur
Ing the past week and 10 some coun-
ties are looking fine. They are begin
ming to head In the extreme southern
counties. Meadows and pastures are
reported short and weedy In a few
counties, but as a rule are In excellent
condition. Glover is 0 blooming.
Gardens are still rather backward in
most sections. Melons are doing we'll
In Scott county. A good crop of
peaches is promised In some Of the
southern counties.

Former Ex-Presidsnt Cleveland is a
Firm Believer In the New
York Judge Expression
Is Not a New
One.

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-Groyer
Cleveland Is unflinchingIy adhering
to the advocacy Of Judge Alton B.
Parker for the Democratic president
ial nomination. To-day the North
American prints a significant inter-
view with the former president, OBJ
tanned yesterday in Princeton, N. ].
Mr.. Cleveland is quoted as follows;
BELIEVES IN PARKER.
II have believed for some months,
and / believe now, that Judge Parker,
Of New York will be the nominee Of
the national Democratic convention
for the presidential Office. This ex-
preston OF my opinion is not new.
Sin reiterating 1t at this time when
there seems to be a lull in the Parker
movement, l do not mean to yield my
original judgment, which was that
neither Mr.. Olney nor Judge Gray
might have proved the strongest can
didate for the Democracy to name for
the contest with Mr.. Roosevelt,
circumstances and the state Of
public sentiment were such, however,
that months ago 1t became apparent
that Judge Parker was the man upon
whom the conservative element Of
the party could and should concen-
trate. Neither the circumstances nor
the state Of public sentiment have
changed, and Judge Parker remains
now, as he has been for some months,
the logical candidate Of his party.
GIVES PARKER SUPPORT.
"Some months ago conservative
leaders of the Democracy began to
feel alarm over the strength Mr..
Hearst was seemingly developing.
81 took no stock in the Hearst can
didacy myself, but realizing the neces-
sitY for checking a movement which
might grow formidable, 1 occupied
ground in common with a number Of
Others and gave out a statement favor
ing Judge Parker for the nomination.
l do not mean to infer that my sup
port Of Judge Parker was given grudg-
ingly.
81 named Judge Parker at that
time because his candidacy had gain
such a lead owe that OF any other
man whose nomination could be DEEM
ed acceptable TO conservative Demo-
Gratis that he appeared to me as the
most likely man about whom that
element Of the Democracy could con-
centrate in its effort to purge the
party Of Decentralization with which
1T has been afflicted in the last two
presidential campaigns"

NAY IHD0RSE hin AT CONVENTION

KANSAS CRY, No., May 30.-The
Star this afternoon prints the follow
ing;
II present conditions are not chang
ed before the last week In July, the
most interesting question with which
the Republican Convention will have
to deal will be whether or not 1t will
put Mr.. Folk on the ticket by indoors
ing him and his policies and make the
fight for the rest of the ticket.
Not long ago, when Folk was in
Southeast Missouri, B. B. Cahoon, the
recognized leader OF the Republicans
in that part OF the State, asked for an
interview with MI. Folk. The oppor-
tunity came, and Mr.. Cahoon said:
/ have watched your career with
much interest, and | wish to make
a suggestion to you. Republicans
In Missouri are partisans, but
most of them care more for their
State than they do for their par
.ty. There are a great many of
them who expect to vote for you
this fall.
They hope that you will contin-
ue TO stand for exactly what we
believe you have stood for In your
present Office. You stand for
some Of the best things that we
have hoped and fought for years.
But you cannot afford to indorse
policies which have grown up
while your party has been in pow
er and which, we believe, have re-
suited in injustice to the farmers
and working people.
The men who will be your asso-
ciates In Offices when you are Gov
ernor will be the subject Of much
more than ordinary attention OF
the voters this fall.
1t is common talk among Republi
cans in Mr.. Cahoon's section OF th,
State that at the convention he will
make a fight to put Folks name OIL
the Republican ticket. The fact tina
such leaders look to Folk as the on,
man to accomplish reforms makes tn
the gubernatorial situation one OF sec
ondary interest, but the rest OF tn
ticket offers more hope.

them believe he viii, Bert d. Norton
