BY JUDGE GEORGE GRAY
Delaware Statesman Speaks
Enthusiastically OF Demo-
cratic Nominee

In view Of the fact that Judge Geo.
Gray figures so prominently in national
politics It may be OF interest TO read
ers to learn his views upon the nomi-
nation Of Judge Parker as the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate.
The following is from the pen of
James creelman under date OF Bed
ford Springs where Judge Gray is
spending his vacation.

the realization Of the best hopes and
ideals OF the Democratic party for a
generation" said Justice Gray "His

stultihcation. restored the self-respeci
of the party and terminated it with
courage and enthusiasm.

manhood, has drawn the people e

Parker struck the chord Of manhood
