No doubt the South Is richer by far

largest theatres. in place of the vast and
dreary convention halls and audltorums
which to offset their size are generally
poorly lighted and heated. To make up
for this he has arranged 20 put five

When the gold message of Alton b.
Parker reached the Democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis William j. Bryan sug-
gested that the currency views of Mr..
Parker ought to be more explicitly de-
fined in some detail, and that the con-
vcntion therefore should prepare list
Of questions connected with various
phases of the currency issue for the can

monies Williams rushed to Parker's de-
Tense with the statement that the can

This was the same public be ID"
attitude that arrogant corporations used
to take in refusing to answer questions
of pertinent interest to their stockhold-
ers or to the general public, until the
Republican party remedied matters by
passing n law compelling publicity, and
especially established the Bureau Of
Commerce and Labor to secure it.
Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the
convention at st. Louis, and in fact all
American voters of whatever political
belief, had a perfect right to expect de-
tailed and explicit publicity from Candi-
date Parker of his views on government
al financial policies, so that they could
know whether or not, or to what extent
his views were their views. But this
publicity was denied them. because the
managers of the convention deemed it of
more Importance to protect their candi-
date from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making n

country from possible Misunderstanding
as to financial views which might not
bear the limelight of public discussion.
