Constitutional Club in behalf of Judge
Parker, gives the following reasons for
his support of President Roosevelt:
President Roosevelt appeals favor
ably to me because his administration
has given to the country progressive
and liberal management of its affairs.
Through its agency the United States
has received the valuable privileges re-
lating to the construction of the Panama
canal, privileges which would not. and
could not, have been acquired but for
the firm and determined position quickly
taken by the President. Furthermore,
the present method OF dealing with the
Philippine question seems to me to be
the only practical solution of that
difficult problem" H;NtN ..

Daniel Buchanan, of Chippewa Falls,
Wis. one OF the leading and best known
Democrats in Northern Wisconsin, has
bolted Parker and Davis and announced
his purpose OF supporting Roosevelt and
Fairbanks. AT one time he was a can
didate for Congress on the Democratic
ticket and took an active part in poll
tics. At the recent Republican county
convention Mr.. Buchanan was elected a
delegate to the Congressional convention.
