Judge Parkers speech dealt with meth
DDS OF collecting campaign funds. and I'm
this respect the candidate took severely
TO task his Republican opponents, fol-
lowing the line OF a speech made recently
at Rosemount on the same subject.
He discussed the tariff and trusts. He
told OF his participation I'm political cam
pafgns and asked his audience IL Il would
not like TO return TO what he termed the
old-fashioned principles. and his effort
was a scathing arraignment OF the pres
ent administration from the Democratic
point OF view.
The mammoth auditorium was packed
and many were turned away, unable to
get near the garden.
Isidore Straus presided and Hoke Smith
Of Georgia was talking when Judge Par
ker arrived. Mr.. Smith permitted his
Speech TO stand unfinished because OF the
tremendous enthusiasm over Parker.

A SHOCK TO MORALS.
We need no new light We need no new
