MAGAw WAS FRIGHTENED.
City Attorney Spencer Says That Is
Why He Objected to Jury.

1.-THE real reason that Charley Ma
gaw demanded a separate jury in the
district court liquor cases" said City
Attorney Spencer today twas that he
found out that the jury which he al
lowed to try the three first cases would
convict. in spite of the fact that Mike
Heery, Abe Steinberg and John Mile
ham were members of it. When Ma
gaW consented to try the cases before
that jury he thought he had a cineh.
but when it convicted Webb and
Woods, and had a big majority in ia
vor of the conviction of Kempton, he
changed his mind"
Abe Steinberg, one of the members
of the jury upon whom Magaw and
the jointists counted, said today:
Il voted just as 1 believe any man
should vote on a jury. Some people
thought 1 would not vote to convict
a jointist. 1 want to say that if there
is evidence to warrant it. I will vote to
convict a jointist In the cases pre-
scented to us the evidence was plain
and undisputed. I don't consider the
testimony of a policeman the very
best, because his fees depend on con-
viction, but there was nothing offered
in rebuttal by the defense. I have no
apologies to make for the action of
that jury. It acted under the law and
the evidence

SIZING UP PARKER

Since the endorsement of Edward c.
Wall, of wisconsin. for the presidential
nomination by the Democrats of the
Badger state, his friends have under
taken to do a little PROSECUTING in the
Parker camp. The La Crosse Leader
Press attempts to throw doubt around
the availability of Judge Parker in the
following:
1t will be we'll before deciding that
the nomination of Judge Parker would
be a wise one to reflect carefully upon
the same from every standpoint
To compare his recommendation by
the New York convention to the case
OF Grover Cleveland in 1892 is without
force. The cases are in no ways SINH
lar except that Tammany Hall opposed
instructions for both of them Gro
yer Cleveland in 1892 was a known
quantity, Judge Parker is not In 1892
there was no decided opposition to Mr.
Cleveland anywhere in the country, ex-
eept from Tammany Hall, and that was
not based upon any policy of his or
lack of faith as to his being in accord
with the principles of his party, The
party throughout the nation entertain
ed no doubt about his loyalty to it and
had not been through any trials that
tested his devotion to party PRINCIPLES
as laid down by its national conven-
tions
No such tests as the elections of 1895
and 1900 were behind it and none of
those bitter feelings that have existed
since those elections were abroad in
The party.
It is folly to predict that success will
come to the Democratic party this year
and that Mr.. Roosevelt can be beaten
unless the party can poll it's full vote
and obtain recruits in addition thereto
1t cannot hope to win by making a
nomination that will ALLEVIATE a large
and powerful following, which would
happen if the nominee We're selected. so
as to make it appear that a large por-
ton of the millions of voters who stood
by the party during the last two presi-
Dental elections was unpatriotic: in
other words to condemn those who sun
ported Mr.. Bryan.
1t is absurd to suppose that New
York state will give its electoral vote
to the candidate if any considerable
number of Mr.. Bryan's followers in
that state are dissatisfied with the
nomination and decline to support it.
There are many who are inclined
thoughtlessly to believe that Mr.. Bry-
an is without influence in that great
state. An examina ton of the poll
however, proves the contrary and in
this connection it should be borne in
mind that to arrive at a proper deter
mination of the conditions the total
vote should be the basis of examina-
ton, rather than to draw conclusions
from majorities or pluraiities, which
latter are oftentimes very misleading.

total Democratic vote cast in New

At only two of these elections-1892
and 1S97-were the Democratic candi-
dates successful. It will be observed
that in 1900 Mr.. Bryan received the
largest vote cast during a decade for
any candidate; that he received 23,5lS
votes more than Mr.. Cleveland did in
1892, 10000 more than Hill in 1894 and
123 600 more than Judge Parker when
he was elected in 1897 and made his
much talked OF phenomenal run, which
election is now SO frequently referred
to to prove Judge Parkers great
strength before the people of New
York.
These figures certainly indicate that
Mr.. Bryan is not without strength IN
the state of New York and that his IN
fuence upon the result in that state
will be most potent. Even # smah
percentage of those who voted for him
in 1900 are alienated from the party
this year it will be impossible to carry
that state. The plurality that any
Democratic candidate can expect to
have in New York is comparatively
small, therefore, when the Democrats
throughout the country count on car
ryfng New York state to determine the
election of their president they should
not be misled by enthusiastic party
mana gers, or believe that the tnstruc-
lions of a state convention mean sue
cess at the polls or that a nomination
by a national convention is equivalent
to election.
