consideration, there are certain is
sues which have been forced into
the political arena by eight years
of Republican rule, and these issues
must be removed before there can
be calm and deliberate considera-
ton of social and industrial condi-
tions. Take, for instance, the race
issue.
president Roosevelt has done
more to embitter the white and
black races against each other than
any other President since the war.
No one who realizes what race is
sue means can view with inditfer-
ence the growing antagonism be-
tween the Caucasian and the Afri-
can. The race issue has already
cost this country hundreds of
thousands of precious lives aud
hundreds of millions of dollars, and
whenever it again appears as ma
tional issue, all other questions viii
be lost sight of. President Roose-
welt has not only done nothing
toward settling the race question or
toward improving the condition of
the black race, but he has injured
the blacks while he has spread
alarm and anxiety among the
whites. We need the Southe n
Democrats in our fight to resist the
advances of plutocracv and we can
not interest them in any other
national question while they think
their civilization is in peril. If
Judge Parker's election would co
nothing else than remove the re- e
question from national politics, we
would be justified in supporting
him.

-ntmun iiIe IN the enforcement of
the law, and soldiers have taken
human life in defense of their coun-
try and in the enforcement OF priu-
ciples that they believed to be more
important than life, but what
soldier would admit that he regard
ed it his duty to desire to take
human lifeS The election of Judge
Parker will place in the White
House man whose thoughts tend
toward peace rather than war;
man who believes that our nation
should be admired for its moral
grandeur rather than excite fear by
the number of its soldiers or of the
size of its guns, and this is reason
enough why l should support him.
but Judge Parker is opposed to
imperialism, he is in favor of Civ
ing independence to the Filipinos,
and he is in favor of making that
promise now. If that promise had
been made in the spring of 1898 it
would have saved our country much
in lives and money. We cannot re-
gain what we have already lost, but
by making the promise now we can
convert the Filipinos into friends
and begin to reduce our war ex-
penses. The Democratic position
upon the Philippine question is the
same as it was in 1900; it was the
American position then, it is the
American position now"

From a True Democrat Who
FaVorS Parker
And Opposes RooseYeltism, Militia
rlsm and RepubliCanism

In his recent address at Spring
field, Mo-, Hon. w. j. Bryan made
these telling points:
Judge Parker believes in the
gold standard. / believe in bimet-
tallism, but l can vote for him in
order that through him the country
may rid itself of an imperial policy.
What if he does believe in the gold
standard? / never disliked an adj
vocate of the gold standard so much
that would refuse any aid that he
was willing to give toward bring
ing to the country any good things,
and Judge Parker's election would
bring us relief from Imperialism.
If any silver Democrat is still in
doubt as to his duty, let me say to
(him that Judge Parker voted for
me when the restoration of bimet-
tallism was the paramount issue;
if he could vote for me when the
money question was paramount. |
can vote for him when we are con-
fronted with another ard greater
issue than the money question.
THE RACE QUESTION.
"The surrender of the present
President to corporate influences
furnishes an excellent proof of the
wisdom of Judge Parker in making
the statement that he has at the
very beginning of the campaign.

Words are things" said Meredith In
politics they are. Campaigns have been
fought over watchwords. The very name

political vernacular and the literature of

cognizance are graft" "the lid, caught

to him delicious thick soup. If he cam
