necessary to enable the present rev.

the large expenditures of the govern

ZOE REPRESENTATIVES,:
whr He peserts Democraey.

why lie Deserts democracy.
Oscar S. Stratus, long demo-
crat, one of Mr.. Cleveiand's strongest
supporters, and leader in the demo-
cratic bolt from Bryan in the first Mc-
KiuIey campaign, refuses to support
Judge Parker and the democratic
ticket.
He says that the refusal of the dem
ooratic convention at st. Louis to in.
corporate a sound money plank in its
platform after the receipt of Judge
Parker's letter was Bryan victory.
A party that has not the courage or
the wisdom 20 take such a necessary
action in regard to sound money does
not, he asserts, deserve to be in
trusted with power, and therefore he
refuses to support its candidates.
In accordance with these views Mr.
straus sent the following letter to
President Roosevelt:
"Hy Deer Mr.. President;
Though / have always been a liberal demo-
crss, Iauerly Cleveland dapocrat. my admira-
don for your fearless devotion to right in It's
highest sense and my esteem for your wisdom
and courageous executive conservatism make it
privilege no less than duty to dedicate my
best services to your election.
Faithfully yours,
OSCAR S. STRAUs.
New York. July Is. 1904"
Mr.. Strauss said he had arrived at this
conclusions in no hasty manner, but
from careful consideration of all the
circumstances of the political situa-
ton. He says:
"a party which cannot unite or has
not the wisdom or the courage to
unite to put sound money plank in
its platform, is not sufficiently recon
structed to be entrusted with power.
aWhile Judge Parker's telegram is
highly creditable TO him in the light
of all the circumstances, cannot but
regard it as highly discreditable to his
party. which, even after its receipt,
refused to incorporate sound money
In its platform, thus conceding to
Bryan the victory he claims, and is
justified in claiming, to have won.
