The volume aud varied character Of the
eumity he has aroused proves that the
sentence contains no empty bs'ast.
Tame, eolorless public men make few
enemies.
The paragraph relating to the Philip
pines cannot fail to convince those hay-
ing knowledge of the actual conditions
in the islands, that this policy could
alone secure for the Filipino best and
permanent benefits. Equally commen-
dable is. aud has been, the attitude OF
the president toward capital aud labor.
Taken altogether the letter cannot fail
to reassure such as have been misled 10y
the fabrications of the more mischievous
element in the opposition party.
The letter of Judge Parker, taken by
itself would gain for him the votes Of
independents" provided they took little
time to aualyze it. Those who have
studied it cannot fail to see how very
unpromising it is. 1t is in fact merely
an arraignment of President Roosevelt
and the party he so ably leads. If such
a man as Judge Parker represented those
who are honest free traders" he could
submit such arguments in support Of
that theory as would do much toward
the enlightenment of the masses. If the
Judge advocated free trade, pure aud
simple, he would of course be beaten in
this campaign; but how much better
the position than to be beaten, as he will
be, the representative of those who have
''gone back" upon the principle they
believe in, for the sake of the spoils
Free trade will eventually prevail, a
little thinking will convince you of this
Democrats should be true to their prin.
ciples, and not creep on to the platforms
of other parties.
There can be no doubt, now, as to the
outcome. President Roosevelt stands
upon the vantage ground of achieve
ments highly beneficial to his fellow
citizens; these achievements in Their
character proving his capabilities to rise
to the needs of all emergencies. He ha;
been called "fresh," but that is really nc
fault when there is the will and abilit,
to profit by misunderstanding that any
have been made. The President ha.
made his way through personal merit t.
his present position.
Judge parker owed his Judgeship t.
David B. Hill, and owes his present
position to his rich friends. Nothing
can save him from an ignominious de
feat but another instance of self asser
ton. A telegram, sent to his managers
and of course made public. This shoulf
be wOrded thus-You are placing me il
a false position, and disgracing tn
party, by accepting a million apiec,
from Rockefeller, Belmont and the othe
nine plutocrats. How are We to viii
handicapped by such glaring inconsis
tency? Did the fate of Hearst teacl
you nothing? If my letter does no
convince the decent men of this countr
of my fitness | will not be boosted int
power through the aid of multi-millio
fund subscribed by the greatest monopc
lists on earth. Let not the pure atmo!
phere of the democratic camp be pollute
, by the vile odors of "frying fat"
Parker, Leader.
That would take. Bryan and the othe
honest radicals would weep for joy, an
tumble over themselves in their zeal t
secure his election.
An opportunity lies right befor
Judge Parker, to make profound in
, preston that would do much to exa
the democratic party, and perforc
American politics.
Sincerity, coupled with high INTEL
, gence, has placed Roosevelt where
stands today. Judge Parker, TO wi
must prove himself immeasurabl
superior.
