1.-THE TIDE IN OUR FAVOR"
Senator Overman Tells OF His Visit &c
Judge Parker's Home.

Senator Overman last week visited
Judge Parker at his home, spending
a pleasant half day with him. The
Senator also spent sometime in New
York, attending to private business.
On Mr.. OVerman's return he told a
Salisbury Sun reporter that at Esopus
he was most impressed with Judge
Parker's Democratic manner of liv-
inc and thinking.
''IIe is sincere and candid" said the
Senator, "and there is no deceit or
hypocrisy about him. He was raised
up with the people, understands them
and is one of them. He represents
the ideal constitutional government as
opposed to imperialism
what of the outlook?"
The tide is in our favor. Some
of the greatest Republican lawyers in
New York and others whose names
are familiar to the profession through
out this country have organized a
Parker club and have taken the posi-
tion that lawyers have ever taken
when the constitution was in danger
and determined, so far as they can by
their influence, to elect Parker. They
think that President Roosevelt has on
several occasions disregarded the
constitution and consider him q very
unsafe and dangerous man as Presi-
y
publicanS but Democrats, such as
Carlisle. Fairchilds and in fact prac-
.tically all who refused to support the
Democratic ticket in 1900, have join
ed the club. SO it is with lawyers in
other States. and they have their in
fuence. The people outside the cities
of the State of New York, the farm
ing classes in particular, have the
highest regard for Judge Parker
What do you think of the situa-
ton in New York"
There doesn't seem to be any
doubt but that New York and New
Jersey will go Democrats"
Questioned with reference to Judge
Parker's determination to serve only
one term if elected Senator Overman
stated that he took issue with him on
this pledge when the Judge replied:
IF elected ] want to be the Presi-
dent of all the people and in a posi-
ton that l will not be tempted to yield
by any influence"
