NEW YORK, June 4.-To say that
the leaders of the republican party are
not quite satisfied with the manner in
which Governor Odell has acted would
probably better express the feeling
over the high handed and thoroughly
selfish methods Of the governor. 1t Is a
bold game that Governor Odell is play
ing. He is determined to keep the con-
troll of his party in New York in his
own hands and to brook no interference
from any side, be 1t some disgruntled
faction in his own state, be it the ma
tional government. Disregarding every
ethical principle and even the most lib
eral limitations of political propriety
he has made himself chairman of the
state committee and is holding on to
that Office like grim death, although
the decent elements of the party are
decidedly opposed to his action which is
more than likely to bring the party in
discredit Governor Odell knew quite
well for some time that the nomination
of ex-Secretary Root for the govern
orship was considered a matter Of the
greatest political Importance both by
the republicans of New York and the
republican national committee. But
that plan did not suit the governor who
feared that a man of Mr.. Roots infiu-
ence and energy would soon wrest the
control of the party from his hands.
For that reason Governor Odell did not
endorse Mr.. Roots candidacy. Although
he knows how much depends upon the
nomination of the strongest possible
candidate for the governorship, he re-
fuses to be dictated by the national
committee Knowing how valuable
every moment Is at this time, he sailed
for Europe, leaving everything unset
tied and in suspense. 1t is stated that
Governor Odell favors the nomination
of either General Horace Porter or JO-
seph H. Choate. Both are men with
clean records and of brilliant attain
ments, but they are not politicians and
for that reason no dangerous rivals for
political control in the state. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Governor Odell's
trip to Europe has been undertaken
with the specific object of laying the
matter before General Porter and Mr.
Choate.

Business conditions in New York are
far from being satisfactory and the de-
preston seems to be of a general ma
ture. A great part of the trouble Is,
undoubtedly attributable to the fact
that this is what Is called a "presiden-
tial" year, but there are other causes,
which are responsible for the present
decline in business. The country has
enjoyed an unusually long period Of
prosperity, unparalleled in its history
Everything went booming, the values
gradually reached high water mark,
and. as usual in this country. specula-
ton was wildly rampant. regardless Of
the immutable laws determining and
governing actual values. Fortunes were
made by the turn Of the hand and 9TH
ers lost with the same ease, money was
spent literally and the factories worked
over time to produce enough to satisfy
the increasing demands. Such condi-
tions, with the excuses which invar-
iably accompany them. can not last in
definitely. however. A reaction must
set in sooner or later and, 1t has set In.

How Parker Saved the Bank,


The following luminous editorial pre-
sents a picture of Judge Parker that is
equaled in dramatic strength by but
one similar incident of fiction. We
refer to the scene drawn by Miss Mu-
lock in her masterful book, John Hall
fax, Gentleman" wherein Halifax
drives his foaming horses to the Jessup
bank and springs out with his load of
gold and bank notes in time to save the
institution The editorial is from the
st. Louis Republic:
OF Judge Parkers qualifications there
can be no question. His illustrious judi
cial career of itself is a guaranty pro-
claiming him sound in judgment, safe in
decision. strong for the right. His opin-
IONS writings AND addresses exhibit
breadth of grasp and a profound states
manly intellect. But that he is man of
action and a doer as well as a man of
thought is equally plain
No one incident manifests more char
acteristically the business and executive
qualities of Judge Parker than does the
much discussed matter of the Ulster
County Savings bank. No more fortunate
story could be developed about a candi-
date than that which the Republican
press brought out many months ago and
then. finding that it reflected tremendous
credit on the candidate. dropped quite
suddenly
One day In September Of 1891 the bank,
Of which he was trustee. closed its doors
because of embez2iements by the treasur-
er and assistant treasurer The bank had
deposits of 1850, 900, and the enlbezzle-
msnt amounted to 100000, wiping out the
supposed surplus and making deficiency,

The bank had invested about million
and a half in real estate mortgages, one
half of which was on the farms in Ulster
county To wind up the business of the
bank in the ordinary way, by appointing
a receiver and distributing the assets pro
rata. would be TO foreclose these mort
cages, throw many on the market reduce
their values, ruin the farmers and infiiet
further loss on the depositors
Judge Parker at the time of the closing
was at his Accord farm Hearing of the
disaster he hurried to an investigation.
There were other trustees, among them
General George H. Sharpe, but Judge
Parker, because of his masterfulness, be-
came the only one. His first act was to
lodge the assistant treasurer in jail that
night. He next made strong effort to
induce a fiduciary institution to take an
assignment of the mortgages, But he
failed in this. No institution was will
ing. Then he showed his resources and.
his inventive powers He asked the equity
court. in the place of appointing tenn
porary receiver to name twenty-five
prominent citizens as trustees
1t was a new idea, and it commended it
self to the state superintendent of banks,
Charles NJ. Preston. Judge Parker plead
ed with the leading men at Kingston.
merchants. bankers and others, and SCI
cured twenty-five in whom the community
had confidence to take the burden on their
shoulders. The supreme court made a de-
cree that put the plan in operation. and
the depositors were enjoined from draw
ing out more than Is per cent of their de-
posits. Then some bright genius thought
he saw an opportunity to play politics
against Judge Parker. and newspaper of
the town advised the depositors to draw
out their % per cent at once, assuring
them that thew would never get auy more
There was frantic crowd at the doors
next morning. A run was on, and it
meant ruin.
Judge Parker, however had anticipated
the malicious efforts of the mischief
makers and had obtained a big bag of
money from New York Leaping on the
treasurer's desk he called out: "Come oni
We are ready to payi Do you think we
would waste our time on a broken bank ~
The argument was instantly effective, the
panic over. Only Il per cent of the de-
positors demanded their money. The
court of appeals sustained the plan, and
the treasurer and assistant treasurer were
sent to prison. Then everybody desired
Judge Parker for president of the bank.
He accepted the position on the condition
that no salary should be paid him, and he
remained at the head of the institution
until it arrived at sound condition with
deposits several hundred thousand greater
than ever before in its history. When the
people of Ulster county recall that cpl
sode, it is said, they laugh at the idea
that Judge Parker is anything less than
a great man of action.
1t is but a single small incident in the
full record, but it demonstrates beyond
all shadow Of doubt the courage, indie
pendence, wisdom and power of execution
of the man.

Carl schurz.

By reason of the revolutions of 1913
a large number of liberty loving Ger
mans came to America to find that
freedom here which was denied to
them in the old world. Among those
splendid revolutonists were many who
have arisen to distinction in this re-
public. The one who climbed the high
est and became the most famous is
Carl Schurz, who for many years has
ranked as one of the foremost of Amer
lean statesmen, and who in many ways
has exerted a vast influence in public
affairs. He is one of the few men
whose birthday has been made an oc-
casion for widespread celebration while
living He was appointed by Abraham
Lincoln minister to Spain. He re-
signed to enter the Union army, in
which he became major general. He
was editor of the Westliche Post of st.
Louis. He was six years a Republic
an United States senator from Mis-
souri, He was chairman of the con-
vention which nominated Horace Gree
ley He was secretary of the interior
Qluef Hayes. lie WIS the D0SOul
friend and chosen companion of such
men as Charles Sumner. He has been
editor of Harper's Weekly. He has
written readable books. He has not
only brains. but a conscience as we'll
His patriotism cannot be questioned.
He has declared unequivocally for Par
ker and Davis; hence there is weeping
wailing and crashing of teeth in the
Republican camp Their efforts to de-
ride him will prove futile and will re-
turn to plague them. One blast up
ON his bugle horn is worth many thou
sand men, for people of intelligence.
without regard to political affiliations,
believe that Carl Schurz invariably
does what he considers right for rights
/. sake, and SO believing many of them
viii follow whithersoeyer he leads. He
is a great accession to the Democratic
cause.-the cause of good government.
He will prove a veritable tower Of
strength in the impending campaign.
He is still true to the principles of lib
erty for which he fought in Europe
when in his youth.

Plenty of Tickets.

This is free country, and every cit
iZen or citizeness has a perfect right to
nominate ticket for president and
vice president That many of them
have availed themselves Of this inalien-
able privilege is patent when we con-
slider the presidential field as it now is.
The Democrats have nominated Alton
Brooks Parker and Henry G. Davis;
the Republicans, Theodore Roosevelt
and Charles w. Fairbanks; the Prohi-
bitionists, Swallow and Carroll; the
Populists, Tom Watson and Tom lib
bles; the Socialists, Eugene v Debs
and Ben Hanford the Socialist Labor
party, Charles H. Corregan and w. w.
Cox, and the National Liberty party,
Payne and Scott. The last named
party is made up of colored men who
believe that they have not received a
fair deal at the hands of the Repub-
leans There may be other party nom
nations which / have overlooked. But,
so far as l know. the foregoing is a
complete list to date, which the readers
hereof will do we'll to post in a con-
spicuous place or commit to memory,
as it will be convenient many times
during the campaign now just begin
ming, for reference or quotation. The
consensus of newspaper opinion APP
pears to be that these minor parties
will not poll enough votes to affect the
result, but that statement must be
taken with some allowance. 1t has al
ways been contended that Birney's can
didacy in 1914 defeated Henry Clay in
New York, the pivotal state though
Birney received only a few thousand
votes. In 1876 the small vote cast for
good old Peter Cooper in Oregon gave
the electoral vote of that state to Ruth
erford b. Hayes and enabled the Re-
publican freebooters TO steal the pres
idency for him. Had he not carried
Oregon, stealing the electoral votes of
Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana
would have done him no good, for they
would not have furnished him enough
votes to elect In a close contest in
any particular state few thousand or
few hundred or a dozen or even one
vote might make a president.

Pennsylvania Democrats Go Hunting.
The Democrats of the Keystone State
are not satisfied with their three Demo
Gratis in the house of representatives
the three are all right, but they want
more. The independent Washington
Post says:
Whatever the outcome of the campaign,
Democrats have been stimulated to en-
large their plans of campaign. The Key
stone State leaders, who have absolutely
nothing to hope for on the general ticket,
have outlined plans for capturing con-
gressional seats this year. The Demo-
CRATES representation in congress from
Pennsylvania has dropped very low. and
in the present congress there are only
three members although the Pennsyi-
vania Democrats polled 424,2S2 votes for
Bryan in 1900. In recent years the Demo-
Gratis Of Pennsylvania have had as high
as nine or ten members of the house.
They are now figuring on gaining as
many as seven, according to the con-
sentative Philadelphia Public Ledger. The
districts which are to be fighting ground
are the Eighth, comprising Bucks and
Montgomery counties; Tenth or Laeka-
wanna; Eleventh, or Luzerne; Twelfth.
or schuylkill; Fifteenth, comprising rioga.
