Grated it was charged the old affection

Attorney HOLSTERS argument was a
bitter arraignment of Potter whom he
characterized as being worse than a SAY

vantage OF an innocent girl and then
tired of his bargain.

Mr. Parker and Mr.. Davis.

For the first time in the history OF
Republican America candidate for
the Vice Presidency is found to be
ton TO the candidate for the Presiden-
cy. Judge Parker weakly trims his
sails on the issue of the tariff. Elk
Senator Davis declares himself a pro-
tectionist. and plainly says that the
tariff on coal at this time is not suf-
fcient to stop injurious importation,
which has assisted toward the lament
able result of closing mines in his
state and throwing hundreds of
miners u of employment.
Ex-senator Davis IS a plain spoken
man, who deals plainly with plain
facts which stare MIN in the face at,

Of his own region, he would realize
that the condition which applies to.
coal applies in larger or lesser de-.
gree to every other industry which is
affected by the policy which Mr.. Da-
vis admits IS wise, and which in his
own case does not reach far enough
20 g the situation. Judge Parker
is not a business man. For long
years he has merely been a factor to
decide which of two alleged wrongs
more nearly approaches the right.
He has not had the benefit of that
vast advantage of actual contact
which has given Mr.. Davis his prac-
tical view of affairs. nor the even
FASTER advantage which has given
President Roosevelt a statesman's an
llytical mind. with power TO employ
his analysis in a PLAIN and common
sense method.
AT uhe Very outset of the battle,
therefore. the spectacle is seen of the
Democratic candidate for Vice, Presi-
dent unwittinglv finging down the
gauntlet on the tariff question to the
candidate for the Presidential office.
Judge Parker would have the duties
Of importations modified to some eN-
IRENE which he is unable to define.

ficient to inhibit an invasion OF for

NO CHANGE

The people demand reform of en-
listing conditions. Since the last DEM
ocratic administration the cost of liv-
ing has grieEOusly Increased. Those
having fixed incomes have suffered
keenly: those living on wages. if there
has been any increase, know that suCh
increase has not kept r2ce with the adj
vance in the cost OF living, including
rent and the n~eceSsarieS of life

Who are the people demanding a
change? Only the Gave Hills II he
Pat NcCarrens who want a chance at
the public crib. The people are salts
fled because the couIItr! is happy II
prosperous and they don't want any
tariff tinkering by the Democrats.
Off cial figures, beyond successful
contradiction. prove that the rise in
wages has more than kept pace with
the Increased cost Of living, and to-
day the American workingman is
making more and living for less than
ever before.
Judge Parker cannot deceive the
people and his sophistries will not win
him any votes.

PARKER,s PRESENT CHARACTER.

In the evolution which is always I'M
tdergone by a Democratic politician.
Alton B. Parker has changed from the
honest, uthfu and judicious Judge
to the ~demaSogue. His letter of ac-
ceptance shows the schooling and in
fuence of the associates which have
surrounded him during the past few
weeks. There are in his letter many
untruths and many half truths, be-
sides many statements which, if not
untrue, are at least misleading. Par
t~icuIarly is this true in his quotation
from Mr.. Mckinley upon reciprocity.
The general statements of Mr.. Mck1n-
ley are reproduced While the specific
statements which contain the kernel
of the policy n principles which
Mr.. Mckinley advocated are omitted.
This we expect from editorial writers
during the campaign. We even ex-
pect it from Democratic spellbinders,
but we did o look for it from Judge
Parker.
Mr.. Mckinley, it is true, did advo-
cate reciprocity, and he did
that it was desirable to gain more for
eign markets, but Mr.. Mckinley did
say most emphatically and s~peciical-
" that I'VE should extend the outlets
for our increasing surplus by sensible
trade arrangements which will not
Interrupt our home production Mr..
Mckinley also said: I'VE should take
from our customers such of their prod
ucts as we can without harm to our
industries and labor" Mr. Parker
cuts in W a single sentence. OF Mr..
Mckinley's in order to leave out a
thought without which the sentence
is incomplete. This is not only dlsin-
eenlous, but it is absolutely
est. Mr.. Parker in 50 treating the
words OF Mr.. Mckinley has not only
malisned the honor of III martyred
President. but he has placed himself
among that class Of Democrats With
out whose aid he never would have
been nominated, and without whose
further assistance he cannot be elect
ed. It is we'll thai the American peo-
pie should understand once and for
all thai Alton 3. Parker If he ever
did possess the standards which they
require in a Chief Executive, has re-
linquished them for the role of a
demagogue n dishonest partisan
