The first article on Judge Parker is In re-

ton. A brief sketch of his career Is given,
which is succeeded by the following de-
scription of his personal appearances:
Judge Parker's Appearance.
Judge Parker is six feet tall and a man
Of giant strength. His shoulders are broad
and his chest deep. His muscles, developed
by hard work on the farm and by daily
horseback riding, are the muscles of an
athlete. He slopes perfectly as a man
should. from his shoulders to his feet and
in spite Of his nearly f1fty-two years and
his weight of 196 pounds his step Is as light
as boys and he can vault into the saddle
with ease.
"His face Is that of a country-bred man,
strong and full of color. The eyes are
large and of an agreeable brown: non-like
eyes but for the kindly expression. One
notices the eyes first and then the i'm
mense jaws and formidable round chin. The
lower part of the face is heavy but not
brutal. 1t has powerful line and outward
thrust that suggests tremendous will pow
er. The mouth is large and masculine. with
thick lower lip. The upper teeth are
big, fiat and white. The lower teeth are
smaller The coarse tawny mustache goes
well with the brilliant brown eyes and the
reddish brown hair.
1.-THE judges nose is aquiline. He has
high cheek bones, but the characteristic Is
not marked. His high, broad forehead
slopes back without a bump. It is q singu-
larly symmetrical brow, showing penetra-
tion observation, ambition and energy.
The block head is not large and is some
what straight, SO that 1t does not balance
with the great Jaws and the fighting chin.
Nowhere in the face or head Is there a
suggestion of craft. Nor is there anything
you straight. The practical and logical
dominate the imaginative qualities-mpulse
is slave to will. The lack of wrinkles
between the eyebrows and the smooth fore
head indicate a man who can concentrate
his mind without the great effort which
contracts the facial muscles.
Judge Parker dresses well, and always
in dark colors, usually grays. His ordinary
and gray trousers. He wears a standing
collar and simple black cravat, held by a
small pearl. Few men are more decorous
or careful in their Dress"
There follows a description of Parker as
a farmer. The idea that he is play farmer
is secuted. and he is declared to be a real
agriculturist.
Gorman's Friends Indignant.
Among other statements in this issue Of
the Parker newspaper bureau is the follow
Ing that has been received by Mr.. Germans s
friends with Indignation:
Senator Arthur Pue German says: I
cannot secure the nomination. Go to work
for Parker. would prefer that my friends
favor him to the exclusion of any other
candidate. Let no other man step in and
beat him. II the convention should decide
that I should be nominated. then well and
good. but otherwise would prefer to see
Parker our next President"
The attention of Senator German being
called to the above statement he replied:
There Is absolutely no truth In 1t. l
have not spoken in favor Of or against
Judge Parker or any other candidate. /
have declined to express any preference.
do not want to say anything to discourage
the candidacy of Judge Parker or of any
one else. but this paragraph Is simply not
true."
