 tee, declining to visit Ohio during the present campaign. says:
 While Judge Parker announces him. self as unqualifedly in favor of the gold standard, he Is no more objectionable upon this question than President Roose- welt, and he does stand for many things In which the silver democrats are in- terested.
 The election of Parker and Davis would remove from the arena of politics the questions which stand in the way of the consideration of economic ques- tons. and for this reason I believe that every democrat who supported the ticket in 1898 and 1900 should interest himself in the success of the ticket this year. When the election Is over I want to renew the fight for economic reform. and I believe that we will be in better position to do this with Judge Parker elected than with Roosevelt at the head of the nation It is also important to secure congress for without the house of repre- sentatives the President could not carry out his policies
