afield In the course of his campaigning
Jumping about the country from Yer
mont 70 Kansas City, then back to Jer-
sey City and up New York State, and
then to West Virginia, causes no sur
prise that he should enjoy stopping over
Sunday in Washington to recuperate
amid familiar scenes.
But today the candidate is away again
to enjoin harmony on the fratricidal
Delawareans and tell them all about the
delights Of a truly harmonious cam

agree on that theory but neither can
get through explaining their amazement
that the opposing faction is so "etarnal

Judge Parker has shown himself wise
in his day and generation, in the opinion
OF many Democrats, in refusing to take
the stump. He intends TO have porch
parties at Rosemont from time to time,
and then take a jaunt down TO the me-
tropolis every little while His plan con-
templates less Of a standing on cere-
mony and more OF getting out Of the
partys best efforts for the national
rieSet.
William F. Sheehan had an earnest
conference with the candidate yesterday,
and then Representative Francis Burton
Harrison told the judge how the south

for the ticket Captain Harrison is a
nard worker and he has not stinted
