boutwell, FOR PARKER.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury
George s. Boutwell,, one of the found
ers of the Republican party, has come
out for Parker and Davis. In an in
terview published in the New York
World. he says;
Some of us who helped to organize
the Republican party and many who
have supported it since, look now TO
Judge Parker as the hope of the coun-
try. His speech was wise and con-
serVative 1t will win strength for
him everywhere II is a speech that
must be acceptable to all true Demo
Gratis; it contains nothing that seri-
Gus, thinking Republicans can object
to, and it will be Endorsed by the anti.
imperialists.
Certainly the election of Mr..
Roosevelt would be dangerous thing
No man can tell what he Is likely to
do. He probably could not himself
tell what he is likely to do; so strange
is his temperament, so uncertain his
orbit"

fiscal year, the expenditures Of the
government have exceeded the re
ceipts by $21,715.000. There could be
no stronger evidence of the extrava.
gance into which the Republican par
ty has fallen.
Mr.. Davis pays a very fine tribute
to Judge Parker--a tribute that in
| reading one cannot help but see the
contrast between the personalities of
the two candidates.
He takes firm stand for the rights
of labor He says: For years

not be better or more succinctly
stated.
