PARKER SHOULD
BE PRESIDENT
Conclusion Arrived at by For
mer Senator Schurz.
REPUBLICAN PARTY CORRUPT
ADVOCATE AND SERVANT OF
MANY TRUSTS.

Bolton Landing. Oct. 2.-Garl Schurz,
in letter te the general secretary Of
Ne Parker independent Clubs. mace
public today writes at length on the
issues of the campaign. There never
was" he says, "a political party in d
democracy. however virtUous it may
have been at the start. thar was not by
long possession OF power more or less
corrupted and made arrogant and al
bitrary" The government of this re-
public. he said, must be government
not permanently controlled by one po-
iitical party. but by different parties
alternating i'm the possession of power.
Criticising the Republican party. Mr..
Schurz says:
1T has become the advocate and
servant of a combination of pecuniarI
interests. in maintaining a high pro-
teetive tariff going far beyond its pro-
fessed objects, despOiling the many for
the benefit of a few and striving TO
keep itself in power by a system of
corruption organized on national
scale 1t has by policy of adventure
conquest and arbitrary rule over sub
ject nations set aside the fundamental
Principles upon which this republic
was founded. and thus dangerously
weakened in our Democracy the high
est conservative influencc-the popular
adherence 10 our traditional doctrines
and ideals. It has robbed the American
people OF the inestima BILE privilege OF
being exempt from the burden of enor-
nous ornaments under which other
nations are groaning. by imposing
without the slightest necessity, similar
burdens ON our backs. 1t has thereby
inspire the efforts made in favor OF
direction of general disarmament but
disquieting other powers by our build
ing a great war fleet quite supernuous
except for aggressive purposes, il Is
melting them To- follow suit thus
speeding the ruinous race and ranging
the American republic among the in
stigators Of a Tetrogressive tendenc,
hostile to true civilization.
Mr. Schurz criticises the president
sharply and says:
There are two ROosevelts in the
iield-the ideal. the legendary Roose-
veit, as he once appeared, and as many
people imagine him still 10 be: ana
the real Roosevelt, as he has since de-
veioped.
President Roosevelt is an exceed
ingly interesting. picturesque and fore
ible character, who would have found
most congenial and glorious field oi
action at the time of the crHsades. but
sometimes strangely fails TO appreciate
the higher moral aims Of modern civ
ilization."
