-
Think Judge Parker Did
Exactly Right by Wiring
the Convention
GOVERNOR TERRELL. TALKS
He Thinks Action of the Nominee
Win Add Greatly to His Strength.
What Other Prominent eeor-
sIans Say on the Subject.

Judge Parker's telegram clearly an,
lnsquiyoeally stating his position OF
the money question is receiyins
strong Endorsement from the promi
nent democrats of Georgia who are no
attending the st. Louis convention.
The fact that Judge Parker came GU
with the lattooted statement that he
favored gold standard is regarded by
many as a fact calculated to add great
strength to his chances of success as
we'll as put the party in the best pos
sible light before the country. Every
prominent democrat who expressed
himself on the matter yesterday did SO
in words eommendatory of the candor
Of feariessness Of the party's nominee.
Governor J. M. Issrell
Among several whass@ere interview
ed along this line, Governor Terrell
said:
The telegram was truthful and
eahdId expression of a wise and hon
est leader This act clearly demon
strates that the convention made no
mistake in nominating Judge Parker,
While the views set forth In the tele
gram We're generally accepted as the
position Of Judge Parker he no doubt
wanted that position made a matter
Of record. SO that none might misun-
deTstand. The American people like
truth, candor and honesty.
The answer Of the convention was
proper .aa platform should deal only
with live issues. Upon the me.fey
qnestiaas os rras saia py MT. Littletna
in his splendid nominating speech,
there is no principle which does not
rest upon a condition and there is no
condition which may not change This
is unquestionabIy true, as shown BY
the history Of our monetary legisla'
ton for the last century. Every free
silver democrat OF 1896 can, without
the slightest sseritice, support the plat
form and ticket OF 1904"
Hon. J. j. Spalding
Hon. Jack ]. spaiding declared that
this action Of Judge Parker's had not
only drawn the democratic party out
Of hole, but had put him on the high
way to election.
It would have injured us badly to
have let the impression go out to the
country that Bryan had knocked out
the gold standard faith from the party
creed, said Mr.. Spalding, and it was
necessary for Judge Parker to do ex-
actly the thing he did do. His action
put the party in a proper light and
drew democracy out Of hole.
His telegram was not only fearless
and manly, but it was essentially nee
essary to the party. He met the re
quirements with prompt and vigorous
action that saved public confidence in
the party and placed himself on the
highway to election,
In fact, ! had determined to tele
graph Mr. Gray, the chairman Of the
Georgia delegation, that some steps
ought to be taken 20 secure that sort
OF an expression from Judge Parker
Now that it ha scome think every den
ocrat ought to feel satisfied both witt
the platform and the nominee. Indeed
there is nothing in the situation tha
forces anybody to eat crow and ye
the party and its candidate are stand
ing on a firm footing"
HON, Philip Cook.
Secretary Of State Phil Cook wa
another who expressed admiration TO
the famous telegram He said:
Am hour had come when a grea
deal hung in the balance and Judg
Parker met the difficulty face to fac
ii the open and settled it in fashion
best suited to the needs Of the crisis
II was a manly thing to do and requil
ed strength Of character The fac
that this strength Of character wa
Displayed added to the tenor OF tn
message sent to st. Louis will all g
to strengthen the party.
4 am sure no one can doubt tn
sincerely of Judge Parker and his a
tion in this instance has brought hii
before the rank and file Of the part
and before the country at large in
manner calculated to arouse the !
most enthusiasm for him personal
and as the candidate Of the democra
ie party. ! am more than ever fir
