 should demand to know the facts
 about Judge Parker. How does he
 stand upon this alleged negro ques-
 tion? Is his position at all different from that of Roosevelt? If so, in
 what respect? The south should de-
 mand explicit reply to the following questions before it votes for him upon
 the assumption that he differs from
 Roosevelt on the negro question:
 First-Would you refuse to eat at the same table with Booker I. Wash
 intgon?
 Second Would you refuse to ap- point negroes to office in the South?
 Third-if elected, will you refuse to receive on terms of equality at the White house, such negroes as Bishop Turner, Booker T. Washington and T. Thomas Fortune?
 Fourth-Do you approve the mixed schools of New York, iDaugurated under Grover Cleveland, in which social equality is practically made a matter of compulsion?
 Fifth-If such schools, wherein black children and white children are educated together, are good thing for your native state Of New York, would they be a good thing for Georgia and South Carolina? If not, why not?
 Why did national democratic leaders surrender to Belmont and Wall street? Senator John w. Daniel, of Virginia let the cat out of the bag when he de- clared in the committee on resolu- tions that he was "tired of being in the minority" Not afraid of Roose- Telt's militarism? No. Not afraid of Roosevelt's L"niggerism?" No. All that is fudge and subterfuge. "Tired of being in the minority!' There was the milk in the cocoanut. Not tired of being in the VITO ng? No; he did not even pretend that he had been in the wrong. Simply because they have been in the minority, they are ready 10 drop the principles which they have s~orn for eight years were right, and to adopt those which even now they do not dare say are right. Great God What an attitude for the leaders of a great national partyl Men of the south! Will you follow the lead of those who have renounced Jeffersonian prionciples for no better reason than that they are 'tired of being in the minority?" You are not bound by their action. Agents who misrepresent their principles should be repudiated in politics as we'll as in business. Revolt against this sur render. Let your stewards know that whenever they go wrong they must account to you, their masters.
 If I could become politically tipsy enough to vote for Parker, on the platform of 1904, as constructed by Parker himself, I would take one more drink-a small one at that-and vote for the other twin, Roosevelt. Give me the original every time, rather than the blurred, indistinct copy. Give me the genuine article. rather than the spurious substitute. Es- pecially in Georgia are the people not bound to support Parker for the reason that they were not consulted in the of delegates. The people of Georgia were for William R. Hearst, the untiring, fearless and consistent champion of Jeffersonian principles. The party bosses were against Hearst. Therefore the delegates to the St. Louis convention were appointed by the machine, and never were passed on by the people. In other words, the machine in Georgia has put an end to popular self government. Why should Georgians support Parker of New York rather than fellow Georgian? What do you know of Parker? What has he done that was notable? What has he ever said that was memorable? What has he ever written that stamped him with individuality? David B. Hill declared at St. Louis that he had been intimate with Parker for thirty years, and that he did not know how Parker stood on the money question. Was this statement true? If so, Parker is the most negative public man on the American continent. Was the | statement false? If so, David B. Hill is the boldest liar between two oceans. Think of a man living on intimate ,erms with "Alec" Stevens or "Abe' Lincoln for thirty years, and not | how he stood on the greatest ooiticlal question of the dayl If democratic leaders had pent half the effort to win Illinois md Indiana that they have wasted ,non Nau NorL ba l
