Why NEW YORK IS PARKER's
Reasons Given by Patriotic Men OF
Affairs For Supporting the Demo-
cratic Co1diSa+e
cratic Candidate.

The prediction that Judge Parker will
this year lead New York state into the
Democratic column is supported by the
fact that host OF high-ninded, pariotc
men of the Empire state. regardless or
previous party affiliations. are coming
out ana declaring strongly for the Demo,
cratic candidate and for CONSTITUTIONAL
government in 10 uncertain terms.
Men like General Il. A. McAlpin' Tor
ner treasurer of the Republican state
committee Of New York; William ..
Choate. a brother Of the American am
bassadOr 10 England; Henry X Nolcolt;
a brother OF Senator E o. NOicott ana
lifelong Republican of Colorado. VII
liam Morton Grinnen. a prominent New
York Republican and nephew of Lew r
Morton. Albert 3. Boardman, spencer
Trask. and numbers of others, who real
lie the evil OF President ROOseVeitS us
regard Of constitutional limitations, ana
reckless extravaganza have given some
of their reasons for voting the Demo
cratic ticket.
Mr.. GrinneH. who comes from fam
lily Of Republicans, and who served as
assistant secretary Of state under Har-
risons administration, says
Roosevelt a Viking"
MY decision has been reached after
much thought on this subject. The pres
ident may be all very we'll in his place.
but I think that he would do better as
a Viking in the ninth century than as
the ruler of this country. His acts nave
gone beyond the bounds OF law, and IN
many eases he has fomented class ana
race hatred by his policies.
''Mr. Roosevelt is given to the lnces-
SAINT preaching Of might against right,
Of the power which belongs to the strong
Of the driving of the weaker to the wall
I consider that the ideas which he, ad-
VOcatcs are contrary 10 Christian ethlcs.
What he advocates continually is ataNism,
the brutal doctrine of the survival OF the
fittest. the return TO the dark ages.
It may be said by many who vote
thOughtlessly: What is the CONSTITUTION
between friends? The teeming east SIDE
will probably not consider such questions
as / have mentioned. yet there IS an
other aspect Three years ago when Nc
Kinley was in office the country was
prosperous every body was employed,
and prosperity and content were every
where Now we have strikes, class ma
tired and race hatred. The president IS
largely responsible in my opinion, Tor
the present labor troubles. His intefier-
ence has been in advised. He poses at
one time as a labor leader, a. ahoIner
as the uphOlder of capital. When NC
Kinley died there was q big surplus IN
the treasury; now there is detlclt.
What the country now needs is an
upholder Of the law for president. The
United States was always a law abiding
nation until three years ago. Judge PARK
or is a man of judicial temperament.
Every patriotic American at heart pre-
fers the reign of law and order as
against impulse and adventure Judge
Parker will be an upholder of the law
and the constitution. The country has
law enough. What she needs is to have
ii respected.
Parker His Antithesis.
I'm everything that Judge Parker has
done he has given the impression OIL man an
