OF Judge Parker will do much TO-
wards removing the doubt OF many
good democrats as 20 his availabIli-
ty.
Throughout the speeches made
during the meeting ran the leading
thought that this was no time for
conflict within the party over minor
differences, but that an united front
should be shown In opposition to
Rooseveltism in its high handed
defiance of the constitution and the
law; that the preservation of con-
stitutional government and the per-
petuity of republican institutions de-
manded the restoration to power OF
the democratic party and the cleo
tion of clear-headed, able, safe and
Conservative man. There was no
harsh word for Mr.. Hearst or any
other democratic possibility These
men are advocates of Judge Parker
because they feel him to be the logi-
cal candidate of the times and the
only man with whom the democrats
can hope to win.
A state club was formed, an exec
utive committee named with power
to select it's own officers and plans
suggested for a state wide campaign
for instructions for Judge Parker.
AS indicative that this organization
is inspired by the Hottest patriotism
| cite the fact that the gentlemen
present at this meeting made con-
tributions from their own pockets to
wards defrayIng the expenses of the
campaign, some of them contribu-
The sum secured yesterday must
be supplemented by friends OF
Judge Parker throughout the state
if anything like thorough cam
paign is made. Judge Parker is moi
a millionaire and hence cannot send
agents into the different states to
organize bureaus and finance bis
campaign, even if he so desired, or
felt it the proper thing to do. If
he is nominated and elected ii must
be by the efforts of patriotic citizens
who feel that in him the destinies of
the country will be safe and that
democratic policies of government
will be restored to the people.

THE PARKER MEETING
Organization Effected in Interest Of The
New York Judge.

In response to call sent out by
National Committeeman r. NJ.
Johnston, of Houston, for confer
ence of Parker democrats at
Dallas yesterday, quite a num-
Der from all sections of Tex
as were in attendance and the
earnestness of purpose shown gave
indication that they were thorough
ly aroused to the necessity of dem
ocratic success next November.
While these men are active support
ers of Judge Parker for the demo-
cratic nomination their first and
paramount purpose is democratic
success at the polls and they be-
lieve that Judge Parker's nomina.
tion holds out the most promising
hope of this cherished purpose.
Letters were read from a number
of leading men over the state who
were unable to be present, but who
pledged loyalty to the Parker cam
paign.
The meeting was organized by the
election of Judge Howard Temple
ton, of the court of civil appeals
as chairman. A committee on ad-
dress was appointed which reported
the following:
To the Democrats of Texas: We
conceive the supreme Democratic
duty of the hour to be a party har-
mony upon the cardinal principles
| of Jetfersonian Democracy. We
stand firmly against any repndis-
tion or disavowal of any party
policy of the past, but we stand as
| firmly against the needless revival
of factional differences or issues
that are not pertinent to the opera
ton of the Government at this time.
The peril we confront is the heed
lessness and lawlessness of the
present Executive, who has trampled
upon precedent in our foreign rela-
| tions, made law by executive order,
| and insolently ignored the Constitu-
| ton in his ambition for power. A
| pr0fessed civil service reformer, he
| has debauched the civil service in
promotion of his candidacy. A
pretender to restraint of monopoly
he has studiously refrained from the
execution of the antitrust laws. A
! sanctimonious advocate of purity in
be has openly allied him
qnnS .sh the most notorious bosses
! woo Republican party. Most por-
s of all to the South he has
w dAdI proclaimed and practiced doc

flee had become reconciled

That He Won't Tell What the
Next Move viii Be.
THE GENERAL BLAsPHEMEs
Soldiers Would Not Allow Pro-
visions to BE Distributed TO
Miners Hungry
Families.

Denver. June 20.-Replying to an in
quarry from an eastern newspaper a:
TO the justification, If any. for the re
ported assertion of General Bell thai
the state OF Colorado be placed undel
martial law If such move became
necessary, Secretary Haywood OF the
Western Federation of Miners sent the
following message:
mo, there is nothing in the sugges-
tion to justify the prediction of Gener-
al Sherman Bell. unless perchance the
people become aroused over the awful
torture inflicted upon innocent victims
confined in the bullpens, and the re-
lentless cruel war being waged against
women and children.
military authorities have issued
orders that no provisions or relief Of
any kind can be distributed. We de-
posted in the First National Bank of
Denver s25OO to the credit of a mer-
chant of Victor. Scarcely $1,000 of
this amount had been expended for
women and children when the mer-
chant was notified by the vigilance
committee that his store would be de-
m0Iished as the union store had been
If he did not quit selling supplies to
union people.
Miners have been taken from the
buIlpens, hung by the neck until nearly
dead, suspended by the thumbs and
tortured with thumb screws. These
punishments have been inflicted by an
investigating committee for the pur- \
pose OF extorting confessions from in
nocent men.
''The spirit of resentment is strong
in the breasts of people; but not re-
belIion. That is a horrible phantasm
wrought from the weird brain of a
military fanatic, who would rather
hear the clanking OF saber chains than
angels music The question Of mar
tial law does not depend upon the JUS
tifcation, as General Bell blasphe-
mously remarked. Only I and the
Lord know what the next move will
be, and the Lord is not very sure
about it
I'VE had martial law in San Migule
for three months, with only sixteen |
soldiers on duty and for many weeks
40 soldiers held two thousand brawny
miners in subsection in Feller county.
There may be martial law in Colorado |
but not to suppress insurrection, but
rather to insure if possible, the re-
election of a $4,000 republican state
